The information you provide as part of the funding process is collected under the authority of Order in Council P.C. 2004-0325 for the purpose of registering to have access to the funding portal used to administer funding programs at Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada. It will be saved in the funding portal and will be used to evaluate, select and review applications, monitor the progress of approved projects, and to coordinate administrative decisions with other federal departments and agencies, provincial/territorial governments, and/or municipal governments when you proceed to submit a funding application. The information may be shared with other federal departments and agencies, provincial/territorial governments, municipal governments and/or other organizations, for the purpose of assisting Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada with project review, evaluation and selection, determining eligibility for other Government of Canada programs, and verifying past federal funding sought by an applicant. The information may be used by and disclosed to other external experts (e.g., scientific, technical, financial, or marketing) contracted by the Government of Canada (with confidentiality obligations) for the purpose of assisting the Department with project review, evaluation and selection, program analysis, results and determining eligibility under other programs. General information about approved projects including the name of the successful applicant, date of approval, the funding amount, project description and the location is proactively disclosed to the public once a funding agreement is signed. Failure to consent to the collection, use and disclosure of this information will result in the application not being further considered.

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to the protection of, access to, and correction of your personal information. You also have the right to file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada regarding Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada's handling of your personal information.
By submitting your application, you agree to the collection, use and disclosure of personal and third party information as outlined above.
