Cookies also provide information about how the site is being used (e.g. which areas are most popular). This type of data helps site managers evaluate the site and make improvements. Cookies do not have the ability to attach to a user's system and damage files. Cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature.

Statement of Privacy

Personal information submitted is collected under the authority of the Conservation Authorities Act Section 18(1) and will be used for the management of the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority's (UTRCA) campground reservation system. The UTRCA does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. Questions regarding the collection of personal information should be directed to: , Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, 1424 Clarke Road, London, Ontario N5V 5B9, tel: 519-451-2800, fax: 519-451-1188. Personal information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties.

Security

The UTRCA and CAMIS Inc. have taken every precaution to safeguard your personal information and ensure that it is used appropriately.

Credit Card Transaction Security has been implemented to ensure the safety of your reservation and personal and credit card information through the use of certificates and multiple methods of data encryption such as Secure Socket Layers.

Certificates

CAMIS Inc. uses certificates on its website to increase security and to demonstrate that your reservation transaction is safe. Certificates are digital documents that authenticate individuals or organizations. Certificates are typically used to generate confidence in the legitimacy of a certificate holder. They allow verification that we are who we say we are (service provider CAMIS Inc.). Certificates are digital signatures that protect public keys from forgery, false representation, or alteration. Certificates are issued by a certifying authority willing to vouch for the identities of those to whom it issues certificates.

Secure and Encrypted Communications

Secure Socket Layers are a method of encrypting and decrypting your data transmissions over the Internet to our site. It ensures that no unauthorized parties can "steal" or "see" your data as it makes its way to our site. This is done by jumbling the data into unrecognizable bits that only UTRCA and CAMIS Inc. can unjumble on its site based on a secure "digital key".
