Important Notice

This is an unofficial tool created to improve access to publicly available PIPSC steward information. For official steward information and union services, please refer to the official PIPSC website.

PIPSC is the data controller for all steward personal information. Privacy concerns about steward data should be directed to PIPSC in accordance with their privacy policies.

About This Site

The PIPSC Kingston IT Steward Knowledge Center is a data aggregation tool that retrieves and presents steward contact information from the official PIPSC (Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada) website in a more accessible and searchable format.

This site does not collect, store, or process any personal information directly from users or stewards.

Data Source

All steward information displayed on this site is sourced from publicly available data on the official PIPSC website. This includes:

  • Steward names and contact information
  • Department and organizational affiliations
  • Work location information
  • Regional assignments

The information is retrieved through automated data collection (web scraping) and presented here for easier searching and browsing.

Privacy and Data Collection

This website collects minimal data necessary for functionality:

Personal Information Collection

  • Location Services (Opt-in): When you choose to use "Find Near Me," we may collect your IP address for approximate location if device location is unavailable. This is only with your explicit consent and the data is used temporarily for distance calculations.
  • Security Logging: IP addresses are automatically logged for authentication attempts to prevent unauthorized access to administrative functions.
  • Regular Browsing: No personal information is collected when browsing the public steward directory.

Cookies and Session Data

  • Essential Cookies: Used for authentication sessions and "remember me" functionality (30-day expiration for administrators)
  • Session Storage: Temporary session data is stored for security token validation (30-minute expiration)
  • Local Storage: Your browser may store table preferences and sorting options locally for improved user experience
  • No Tracking: We do not use analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies

User Registration and Login

  • Public Access: The steward directory and search functions are accessible without registration or login
  • Administrative Access: Data management functions require authentication for authorized personnel only
  • No User Accounts: Regular visitors do not need to create accounts or provide personal information

Data Retention

  • Location Data: Not stored permanently; used only for immediate distance calculations
  • Session Data: Automatically expires after 30 minutes of inactivity
  • Security Logs: IP addresses in logs are retained for security monitoring purposes
  • Browser Preferences: Stored locally in your browser and can be cleared at any time

Data Accuracy and Updates

Since all information is sourced from the official PIPSC website, the accuracy and currency of steward information depends on the official source. This site updates its data periodically through automated scraping of the official PIPSC steward directory.

For corrections or updates to steward information, please contact PIPSC directly as this site only displays information already published by PIPSC.

Third-Party Links

This site may contain links to external websites, including the official PIPSC site and mapping services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.
