Before you visit the website for the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories . . .

Image from the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories Website

You should know the following:

They track you while you are on the website . . .

They also automatically send your information to third parties . . .

This information can also be used to target you for commercial and political content . . .

And they can even track you after you leave the website . . .

And they do all of this without your knowledge or consent:

In violation of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act s.41(2) . . .

And in violation of the Privacy Statement posted on their website . . .

The Privacy Statement concludes with a statement about disclosure of visitor information:

This makes it look like the information collected is subject to the laws of the Northwest Territorie

But they actually automatically send your personal information to third parties who have their own privacy policies . . .

Adobe's Privacy Policy says that the Laws of California and the United States apply to your personal information

Google's Privacy Policy says it will share your personal information if they have a "good faith belief" that it is "reasonably necessary"

So, if you've ever visited www.ntassembly.ca, your personal information has already been compromised

. . . now ask yourself what use they can possibly make of your personal information . . .

. . . and then look up 'Cambridge Analytica'

Let's back up . . . this all began with the GNWT intercepting my former work email
