IP addresses are unique numbers assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to all devices used to access the Internet. The IP address, on its own, may not identify an individual; however, in certain circumstances, it could be used to identify an individual using the site. For this reason, we consider the IP address to be personal information, particularly when combined with other data automatically collected when a visitor requests a web page.

If you wish to remain anonymous, please indicate so and the reasons for the same. The Committee will, at its discretion, decide if the same will be anonymous and notify you of the decision. Even if the Committee decides a submission may be anonymous, the same is still subject to the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 (ATIPPA, 2015).
This information is collected under the authority of section 61(c) of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 (ATIPPA, 2015).
