The Alberta Environmental Farm Plan Company is committed to protecting the privacy of every rancher and farmer participating in the program. This commitment drives the design of the program and is included in the Company's guiding principles.
The AEFP Company staff, facilitators, volunteers and contractors have professional and ethical standards and procedures including procedures for maintaining the privacy of program participants. All personnel involved in program delivery and administration sign a confidentiality agreement.
The AEFP Company collects two kinds of information to help direct future environmental programs and identify research and extension needs as well as monitoring progress and effectiveness of the EFP process. The first is anonymous data and the second is contact information for future communication.
Anonymous information. The AEFP Company reports the collected anonymous information in aggregate. This means that the data from many farm units are combined, with the municipality being the smallest classification level, so it is not possible to identify the information from individual farm units. Any information that could potentially be used to identify a specific farm unit will not be included in the reported statistics (e.g. if the farm unit is one of only three Saskatoon berry farmers in the municipality). Before any of the collected information is released, it will be reviewed for accuracy as well as social, political and legislative implications. The AEFP Company is committed to insuring that all published information is easy to understand, provided in its proper context, and responsibly used. For more information, please read The AEFP Company's Privacy Procedures for EFP Program Delivery.
Contact Information. The AEFP Company collects and maintains lists of personal information, such as contact information from workshop participants. This information is collected for the sole purpose of monitoring individual progress as participants move through the EFP process, and allowing the participants to take part in future evaluation and communication activities and to help AEFP fulfill its role in environmental extension. EFP participants have the choice of being added to the AEFP mailing list and any participant who wishes to have their name removed from the mailing list can do so by contacting AEFP and the request will be handled immediately. The AEFP Company will not sell or otherwise disseminate or provide access to this information.
