| Direct Energy Centre and Ricoh Coliseum are committed to protecting
the privacy of
any personal information you may provide when visiting our Web
site. Part of that commitment is to explain what information
may be collected
and why, how it will be used and who may have access to it. Direct Energy Centre and Ricoh Coliseum are owned by the City
of Toronto and operated
on its behalf by The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place, both
of which are subject to the Municipal Freedom of Information
and
Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Our practices have therefore
been designed to ensure compliance with the privacy provisions
of
MFIPPA, which governs the protection and release of personal and
commercial information in these circumstances.
This privacy statement applies to interactions with Direct Energy Centre and Ricoh Coliseum Web server. It does not apply
to any other Web site.
Following is an overview of our Web site practices.
Personal
information
When you visit Direct Energy Centre Web and Ricoh Coliseum
sites, you do so anonymously - there is no need to tell us who
you are.
If you direct
an enquiry
to a specific department, we will ask you to provide your name
and mailing address or e-mail address for the purpose of responding
to your enquiry. Only those who "need to know" will have
access to the personal information provided.
Encryption technology protects personal information during transmission.
A notice stating, "you are in a secure site" will be posted
on this site when you are in an encrypted session, otherwise the
site is unsecured, and the visitor will be required to indicate
their intention to agree to transmit personal information. A security
icon will appear in either the lower left corner or, depending on
your browser, the lower right corner of your browser window. Secure
pages are not saved in temporary caches on a computer. Once you
exit secure screens, those screens cannot be accessed again. If
encryption is not available through a site, the visitor will be
so notified.
Direct Energy Centre and Ricoh Coliseum Web servers collect
and retain your e-mail address in a database format only if the
visitor enters

where personal information is requested is for the sole purpose
of allowing

be used to verify and process credit card information that is
provided
by the visitor, and to place the service order with Direct Energy Centre Exhibitor Services department. If the visitor has
