Before you visit (or revisit) the website for the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories . . .

You should know that they use the website to spy on you

A scan of the website reveals a number of privacy concerns

They automatically send visitor information to third parties

Information that can 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 Privacy Statement posted on the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories website:

This Privacy Statement also says that visitor information does not leave the Legislative Assembly . . .

But they actually automatically send visitor information to third parties without the knowledge or consent of visitors

They also say that the personal information they collect is protected by the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (NWT):

Except the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (NWT) does not apply to the Legislative assembly because they are not a 'public body':

Adobe says that the Laws of California and the United States apply to the personal information in their possession:

and Google says it will share personal information if they have a 'good-faith belief' that it is 'reasonably necessary' under 'any applicable law':

'Any applicable law' likely includes the law of whatever jurisdiction to which the personal information has been sent:

The big issue here is that the scripts that automatically send personal information to third parties are triggered just by visiting www.ntassembly.ca

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

This story begins with the Department of Justice (DOJ) intercepting my former work email . . .

That story is told here:
