All personal information created, held or collected by The CAV is protected. This means that at any point of collection you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected. The CAV employs software programs to monitor network traffic, and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. These programs are also used to gather anonymous information such as statistics to improve the functionality of our sites. These software programs receive and record the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our web site, 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 programs are never used to gather specific personal information such as your name, your phone number or your e-mail address. The CAV occasionally uses "cookies" as one method of gathering the anonymous information used to improve the functionality of our sites.
