Confidentiality Policy – OWHC
To allow you to navigate with confidence on our website, the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC) has implemented strict measures for safety, protection of privacy and personal information.
Legal Framework for the Protection of Personal Information
The OWHC website is published in Canada. Canadian legislation protects users’ personal information.
Definition of Personal Information
Under applicable Canadian legislation governing the protection of privacy (federal, provincial and territorial legislation), personal data is information that concerns an identifiable person. This includes any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific person. Opinions, beliefs and facts concerning or related to a person may also be considered as personal information. Professional contact information and certain public information such as names, addresses and telephone numbers which are published in telephone directories may not be considered as personal information. When a person uses personal contact information as professional contact information, we consider the personal information given as professional contact information. Such information may not accordingly be subject to the same level of protection as personal information.
