Thank you for visiting my Website. Protecting your privacy is of the utmost importance to me. I want to assure you that my privacy policy is clear and simple.

This Website does not collect any personal information about site visitors unless they choose to provide that information to me in order to be contacted about an issue or assisted with a problem.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

For your information, the United States Senate does collect aggregate data about visits to Senate Websites, such as statistics that show which portions of each site are visited most often. The following information is also collected when you visit any U.S. Senate Website: the domain from which you access the Senate Website, the date and time of your visit, the pages you visit, and the address of the Website, if any, that provided the link from which you reached the Senate site. This information is gathered only for the purpose of enabling us to improve the online service we provide to visitors to Senate Websites.

No individual identifying or personal information (such as your name) is automatically gathered when you visit any Senate Website. The site does not use 'cookies' or other means to track your visit to my site in any way. To learn more about the Senate's Internet security and privacy policy online, please go to this address: http://www.senate.gov/security.html.

If you provide us with personal information

This site is set up to collect personal information about you only if you expressly provide the information to us. The site has an online Web form that you can use to contact me by electronic mail to express your views or concerns or to ask for assistance with a particular problem involving a federal agency. To send an e-mail, the form asks you for your name, address, e-mail address, and, if you wish, your home or work telephone numbers. This information may be used to contact you about the matter you expressed your views about, or to provide assistance regarding problems you may be experiencing in dealing with a government agency.

If you are requesting help with a casework matter, it may be necessary for my office to share the information you provide with a particular government agency to facilitate the resolution of your case. Only when my office is performing constituent casework at your request, or in the course of an authorized law enforcement investigation or emergency posing an imminent risk to public safety, will my office share personal information communicated through this Website with any outside organization or individual.

From time to time my office will tabulate comments received through the Website concerning legislation and government policy issues so that I will be fully informed about the views of constituents. Occasionally we come across a comment made by a constituent, or a situation described by a constituent, in an e-mail message (as well as postal mail, phone calls, and faxes) that we think makes a point of such general interest that I would like to refer to it in a speech, or include it in the Congressional Record, or make some other use of it, either in connection with debate in the Senate or by sharing it with the relevant government agency. My staff will make every effort in such cases to contact the author first. If you intend your message to be confidential, and would prefer that it not be used in such a way, please indicate that in the message, so we can be sure to respect your wishes and see that your views are held entirely within our office.

Links to Other Sites

My Website has links to other useful sites on the Internet, including links to other government agencies and sites relating to New Jersey. If you follow any link that takes you to a location that does not include 'senate.gov' in the address, you have left the Senate Web server and you will need to refer to that site's privacy policy. Neither I, nor the United States Senate, can take responsibility for the content of these third-party web sites.
