Terms and conditions
The Supporting Employee Success website is hosted by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). CCOHS is fully committed to protecting the confidentiality of the personal information provided by users of the products or services we host and/or support. For more information about privacy, please read the Privacy notice.
Supporting Employee Success does not provide medical, financial or legal advice. This tool focuses on job expectations and supporting employees' ability to meet those expectations. It doesn't require information or a discussion about any medical diagnosis or symptoms, financial matters or legal matters. All information provided by an employee is done so on a voluntary basis.
Supporting Employee Success does not specifically address potential legal requirements. While this process can be part of an effective accommodation, it doesn't replace legal advice with respect to requirements under employment, human rights, accessibility or other legislation.
Your privacy and the internet
The nature of the Internet is such that Web servers automatically collect certain information about a visit to a website, including the visitor's Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses are unique numbers assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to all devices used to access the Internet. Web servers automatically log the IP addresses of visitors to their sites. The IP address, on its own, does not identify an individual. However, in certain circumstances, such as with the co-operation of an ISP for example, it could be used to identify an individual using the site. For this reason, the Government of Canada considers the IP address to be personal information, particularly when combined with other data automatically collected when a visitor requests a Web page such as the page or pages visited, date and time of the visit.
Unless otherwise noted, CCOHS does not automatically gather any specific information from you, such as your name, telephone number or email address. CCOHS would obtain this type of information only if you supply it to us, for example, by sending us an email, by filling in a contact form or registering in a secure portion of the site. The information that is received and stored is safeguarded to prevent unauthorized disclosure.
In cases where services are provided by organizations outside of CCOHS, such as social media platforms or mobile applications, IP addresses may be recorded by the Web server of the third-party service provider.
