Privacy – Web Services

Knowledge Network Corporation has developed its digital services, including various Apps, the Knowledge.ca website and the Knowledgekids.ca website (each a “Web Service”, collectively the “Web Services”), as electronic resources with information about our organization and its programs, and as fun and entertaining streaming services for our viewing audience.

We are committed to providing our visitors with Web Services that respect their privacy. We encourage and support the efforts of parents and legal guardians of children to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to caution them against providing personal information to any website or App without their permission.

Information Collected Through Web Services

When you use our Web Services, you may be subject to the collection of a limited amount of information essential for the operation and security of our Web Services. Some of this information (for example, your browser type) does not identify who you are, while other information, such as your Internet domain name or IP address, may identify you. To the extent Internet domain names or IP addresses may identify you, and are necessary to the use of our Web Services, your continued use of our Web Services indicates your receipt of this notice of our use and collection of that information to the extent necessary for our provision of the Web Services to you or as otherwise set out in this policy.

Personal information voluntarily provided by you via our Web Services will be used for the purpose for which it was provided (for example, to enter a contest, participate in an online forum, make a donation, send an inquiry, or send an email address to receive automatic information about upcoming programming) or to which you otherwise consent, will be kept strictly confidential, and is not disclosed to anyone inside Knowledge except the personnel who need the information to complete your request Such information may also be used for internal analysis for management purposes, solely to the extent authorized under the FIPPA.

Your Registration Information: Certain services offered through our Web Services may require you to register with us. Registration at our Web Services requires that you provide your first and last name, email address and postal code as well as select a secure password. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are also collected and linked to your registration information.

We collect this information for statistical purposes and for evaluating our website to make it more useful to visitors. Our Web Services records the IP addresses of computers that contact our web site. We use these addresses to generate geographic-related statistics, and to help administer the Web Services, in general. We make no attempt to link addresses with the identities of individuals visiting our site and such information is kept secure and confidential. We may use your other personal information collected through our registration form to contact you for fundraising purposes in order to provide you with opportunities to support our services and programming.

Some features of our Web Services require information about your location in order to operate, as some of the content in our Web Services is only available in B.C. or Canada. When you access our Web Services from a personal computer, general location information for the personal computer is accessed by our systems to determine availability of service.

In some instances, we may use outside parties to process donations, administer contests, promotions and other online activities on our behalf. This may involve the collection of personal information. In such cases, we ensure that the manner in which any outside party collects, uses and retains personal information conforms to our privacy policies and is in strict compliance with FIPPA.

We may disclose personal information to affiliates and outside suppliers or contractors from whom we obtain services for the purposes of supplying those services, provided such disclosures are limited to the individuals providing those services and then only to the extent required to facilitate the provision of those services. Knowledge does not sell, license, rent, market, disclose, barter or distribute any personal information obtained from our Web Services other than as disclosed in this statement.
