Privacy Policy

Welcome to projectagriculture.ca (the “Website”). The Website is collectively managed and operated by Alberta Chicken Producers, Alberta Hatching Egg Producers, Alberta Milk, Alberta Pulse Growers, Alberta Turkey Producers and Egg Farmers of Alberta (collectively the “Project Agriculture Education Group”).

project AGRICULTURE values the trust of those visiting the Website or engaging with us online, specifically teachers and students, and recognizes that maintaining this trust requires that we respect and safeguard the security of users’ personal information, as well as consider choices for its intended use, and practice transparency and accountability in how we treat users’ information.

Collection of Personal Information from Public Users

You (the user) will be asked to provide certain personal information to us when downloading the full project AGRICULTURE teaching resources for each topic through the “Teach” webpage at www.projectagriculture.ca/teach/. When downloading these resources, we will ask you to register to receive occasional program updates and newsletters and will direct you to a survey. We may collect personal information such as your name, preferred email address and mailing address (i.e., your school).

Note that student users who download specific activity handouts, project guides and pages and thinking organizers will not be required to provide any information. However, students who access the Ask a Farmer external links provided on the Website may be required to provide personal information to the partner organizations of the Project Agriculture Education Group, such as their name and email address should they submit a question to these partner websites. Please check the privacy policy and terms of use on these external websites. A student interest survey is included on the launch activity webpage at www.projectagriculture.ca/launch/.  This survey will not ask for personal information other than grade level and urban or rural setting.  

If you (the teacher) submit a student project to be shared on the Website, you will be asked to provide personal information about yourself, your school and your students. This information includes your name, email address, school name, student’s first name or their group name and a project description. You must indicate that you have obtained consent of the student’s parent or guardian before submitting a project. The project submission form will not collect any personal information associated with projects without the express consent of the child’s parent or guardian provided to the teacher submitting the project. A sample permission and release form is provided on the Website at www.projectagriculture.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Permission_Release_Form.pdf. 

As you use, or your students use, the Website, other information may be collected through the use of technologies common among websites and online environments. This includes access time and navigational data that will allow us to evaluate how the Website is used. This information will not be linked to any personal information you provide and will only be collected in the aggregate in connection with other users of the Website.

How Public Users’ Information May Be Used or Disclosed

This project was partially funded by the Canadian Agriculture Partnership grant program. The partnership required the Project Agriculture Education Group to provide aggregated summary reports on the project to the Canadian Agriculture Partnership as outlined in the grant reporting terms. No personal information will be included in these reports.

All survey results will be viewed on an aggregate – not personal – basis. These results will not be shared beyond the Project Agriculture Education Group and representatives of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership for reporting as required by the grant.

project AGRICULTURE uses your personal information (when provided) to enable you to receive program updates and news and to enhance your use of the Website. Your personal information will not be used, disclosed or retained for purposes other than those for which it was collected and intended, except with your express permission or as permitted by law. The information collected on the Website is reviewed on an aggregate – not a personal – basis. We only collect an individual’s personal information when it is voluntarily provided and we do not sell, trade, rent, or disclose personal information to any organization for any purpose, other than the disclosure of only the information that is provided as part of the submission of student projects and shared on the Website with other students, teachers and the public.

Teachers who request print resources or who submit a student project may be asked for testimonials and for permission to use these testimonials on the Website and in other project AGRICULTURE publications or advertisements.

The Project Agriculture Education Group is committed to protecting the security and integrity of information collected on the Website.
