Privacy
and Security Policy
As part of my Web site privacy policy, no personal information will be collected
about you when you visit my Web site unless you choose to provide that information.
I comply with four core privacy principles: notice, choice, access, and security.
For the FTC's
Report and Recommendations on the Network Advertising Initiative,
see http://www.ftc.gov/os/2000/07/onlineprofiling.htm.
Here is
how I handle information about your visit to my Web site:
Information
Collected and Stored Automatically:
If all you
do during your visit is browse through the Web site, read pages,
or download information, the only information I will gather and
store about your visit is the following information:
- The Internet
domain (for example, "aol.com" or "xcompany.com")
from which you access the Internet;
- The IP address
(an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which
you access my Web site;
- The type
of browser and operating system and connection speed used to
access the site;
- The date
and time you access the site;
- The pages
you visit;
- If you linked
to my Web site from another Web site, the address of that Web
site.
This information
is used for site management purposes -- to learn about the areas
of the site that are of the most and least interest, the number
of visitors to my site, and the types of technology my visitors
use. For users that simply browse and download information, I
do not track or record any personal information about your and
your visit.
If You Send
Personal Information:
If you choose
to provide me with personal information -- such as if you send
me an e-mail or you fill out a form with your personal information
and submit it through my Web site -- I collect and store your
e-mail address and the content of your communication in order
to consider and, as appropriate, reply to your communication.
In order to
better serve your needs, I may share the information you give
me with another government agency that is better equipped to
respond to your concerns. Additionally, federal law may require
that certain unlawful communications be forwarded to appropriate
law enforcement agencies.
We also may
wish to save certain information that you provide us for future
reference, in order to contact you about issues or activities
we believe match your interests. Before saving any information,
you will be given notice and an express choice as to whether
such information may be saved. We won't assume that you have "opted
in" to allow us to save your information simply because
you have not "opted out." Unless you give us permission,
we will assume you haven't. If you do "opt-in," we
assume you would not mind if we save your information and in
order to contact you later and find issues and activities that
match your interests. IF you would not mind us saving your information,
please simply click the appropriate box.
Information
on Children:
We do not ask children 13 and under for any identifying information. We do
not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children 13
and under.
Links to
Other Sites:
My Web page
contains links, some of which are to other sites or other federal
agencies. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the
privacy policy of the new site.
Unauthorized
use, tampering with or modification of this system -- or its
supporting hardware or software -- may violate federal or other
statutes and may subject the violator to criminal and civil penalties.
In the event of unauthorized intrusion, all relevant information
regarding possible violation of law may be provided to law enforcement
officials. |
