WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES & NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.

Logged information is kept indefinitely as administrative and research material; it is not disclosed outside of the Tourism Smithers host site personnel.
