OCNA respects your privacy and does everything in its power to protect the confidentiality
of any personal information you may give us. We may use the information you provide
about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services,
to respond to your inquiries about our offerings.
OCNA only collects personal information with the knowledge of the individual
involved. We will explain what information is being collected and how it will
be used. You have the right to decline to have this information collected or
transferred. We will not disclose any personal information about users to any
outside parties unless the user was advised of this possibility before providing
the personal information. We will disclose information we maintain when required
to do so by law.
You may provide us with information online, in a telephone conversation, or through
a completed printed form. The information you provide will be securely stored
either on a computer or as part of a hard-copy filing system.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time by updating
this posting.
If you are under 18, be sure to obtain your parent/guardian's permission before
you send any information about yourself (your name, address, e-mail address,
etc.) to us or anyone else over the Internet.
There are links on the OCNA web site that take you to other web sites outside

for your convenience. The operation and content of such third party web sites
is beyond our control, and we do not endorse in any manner whatsoever or accept
any responsibility for the information, content or other material which may be
contained on such web sites, the use of such web sites, or any products or services
advertised on or sold through any such web sites. We will not be liable under

Like most major web sites, we use cookies to better understand how our site is
used, to make sure the dynamic content is served correctly, and to improve the
performance of our site for our users, particularly the way search pages are
delivered.
OCNA does not use cookies to retain personal information about our users -- users
remain anonymous -- and we do not sell information about our traffic patterns.
We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more
useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties
such as sponsors or clients and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking
system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information
to any personal data collected. The OCNA Web Logging system automatically records
some general information about your visit, such as:
The Internet domain for your Internet service provider,
such as 'company.com' or 'service.ca' and the IP address of the computer
accessing the web site, such as 'ppp-55' or '123.123.123.123'
The type of browser (such as 'Netscape version x' or 'Internet
Explorer version x') you are using.
The type of operating system you are using (such as Macintosh,
Unix, or Windows).
The date and time you visit our site and the web pages that
you visit on our site, along with the address of the previous web site
you were visiting, if you linked to us from another web site.
We may use 'cookies' that identify you as a return visitor.
A cookie is a piece of data that a web site can send to your browser, which
may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to
visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences.
The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit
and to measure web site activity. Cookies do not contain any personally
identifying information. Browsers such as Netscape allow you to disable
cookie collection if you wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored
on your hard drive.
Registration and On-line forms info
We may, from time to time, offer seminars and accept registration on the Internet.
In that case, we will collect only such information as is required to (a) ensure
that your confirmation is sent to you at the address of your choosing and (b)
that your payment is processed correctly. We will ask you for your name, mailing
address, phone number, e-mail address and your credit card information. Credit
card information provided online would be processed over a secure link with our
credit card provider.
As part of the registration process, we may ask you if you want to receive information
about other seminars. You would be free to opt in or out. If you opted in, we
would maintain your contact information in a database solely used for that purpose.
This database would not be shared, given, sold or rented to any other party under
any circumstances. It would reside on our computer, and may only be accessed
by an OCNA employee who has (a) been authorized to do so and (b) has a password
issued by our IT department.
