Information transmitted automatically
You should know that when you access the site of the XIII International Winter Road Congress, information is exchanged automatically between your computer and the organization's server. The information does not identify you personally. The following information is exchanged:
- the Internet domain name (e.g.,, "xcompany.com" if you are using a private Internet access account, or "university.edu" if your access the site through a university) and your IP address (an IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet provider every time you use the Web) with which you access our site;
- the type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
- the date and time when you access our site;
- the pages you visit;
- if you are directed to http://www.piarcquebec2010.org from another site, the address of that site (referencing site).
This type of information needs to be exchanged so that the server can transmit a file compatible with the computer equipment you are using. The organizing committee of the XIII International Winter Road Congress stores the information required to record the number of visitors, most visited pages, technology used to access the site, referencing sites and users' country of origin.
If you choose to send us personal information – by e-mail or by filling in a registration form and submitting it through our site – we use only the information required to respond to and follow up on your message. The same confidentiality provisions apply to both electronic messages and postal mail.
Information transmitted is never used to develop user profiles and is not transmitted to any private organizations.
Our site lists links to Québec government agency sites and to several private or municipal agency sites. When you leave the XIII International Winter Road Congress Web site, information exchanged is no longer subject to its confidentiality policy, but is subject to the policy of the private site, where applicable.
