We know your time is valuable and you don't want to waste it. To help save you time, we use a special feature called a “cookie” to help us provide customizable services to our customers.

Cookies do not damage your system or impair its functioning in any way.

These include: security of our physical premises; security software and firewalls to prevent unauthorized computer access or "hacking"; and internal passwords that restrict access to our electronic files.
The Beef Information Centre uses only reputable third-party companies to maintain its electronic records and to store and destroy its paper files. It further ensures that those companies are bound by contract to comply with the law and industry standards for the protection of personal information.
You have a right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of your personal information and to have it amended, as appropriate. You also have a right to request access to your personal information and receive an accounting of how that information has been used and disclosed, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. For example, if the requested information would reveal personal information about another individual, your request for access may be limited or denied.
