The points below summarize the privacy policy and practices on the Ministry of Energy and Resources websites.

• The Ministry of Energy and Resources websites do not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or email address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of the site.

• All personal information created, held or collected by this ministry is subject to "The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act". This means that at any point of collection you will be asked for consent to collect your information, and you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.
• If you provide this ministry with your personal information, it will only be used or disclosed for the purpose for which it was collected or, in limited circumstances, in accordance with the "The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act".
• Information on individual visitors to a ministry web site is used by the Ministry of Energy and Resources employees who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We do not use the information to create individual profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside the government.

• The Ministry of Energy and Resources employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our website, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected. The Department of Industry and Resources reserves the right to identify individuals using any services offered within the site in any manner that violates Saskatchewan, Canadian or International law.
• Any information that may be collected on this website is maintained in a secure environment.

• Some Government of Saskatchewan websites may distribute a small file to your browser, called a "cookie."
