Privacy and Security Policy

I am proud to be a leader in the policy debate over personal privacy.  I respect the privacy rights of all visitors to my website.  Therefore, my website does not record any personally identifiable information about its visitors.  The information on my website is provided as a public service only. The House of Representatives computer system does automatically collect basic technical, non-personal information about your visit.  The information collected is securely stored and is limited to the following:

  • The domain from which you have accessed my website (such as richnet.net or aol.com);
  • The date and time of your visit;
  • The browser, operating system, and connection speed used to access the site;
  • The pages of my website that you view; and
  • The Internet address of the computer and/or website from which you have accessed my website.
The House of Representatives compiles summary statistics to tell my office how many times each page on my website has been accessed.  My office can then determine which pages are of the most interest to visitors, and identify and fix any technical problems.  I do not share any of this information with any outside individual, group, or other third party. If you choose to provide personal information through my Contact page, that information is stored securely so that I may reply to your comments.  You may rest assured that I will not share any personal information with any unauthorized third party. As always, I welcome your comments on this policy, my website, and any other matter of interest or concern to you. NOTICE:  Unauthorized use, tampering, or modification of this government computer system--or its supporting hardware or software--may violate federal or other statues 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.
