Privacy
ADCW is designed to collect as little personal information as practical.
Website visits
ADCW does not use visitor accounts, advertising cookies or behavioural profiling.
The site uses cookie-free aggregate analytics to understand general traffic and website performance. Basic technical information may also be processed automatically by the services that host and secure the website.
Email contact
If you email ADCW, the message includes the information you choose to provide, along with your email address and ordinary message metadata. ADCW may keep messages and attachments as long as needed to review the information, respond, document a correction, or preserve the research trail.
Ordinary email is not a guaranteed confidential channel. Do not send sensitive personal, financial, health, identity, or security information. Email providers may process and retain message data under their own terms and policies.
External links and documents
ADCW links directly to municipal, provincial, regulatory, company, research, mapping, and other external websites. Those services control their own privacy practices. Opening an external link may disclose ordinary request information to that provider.
Your choices
You can browse ADCW without creating an account or identifying yourself to ADCW. You control whether to send email and what information to include. You may ask ADCW to correct or delete personal information contained in an email, subject to any legal or research-integrity need to retain the record.
