I
have posted this privacy statement in order to demonstrate my firm
commitment to protecting your privacy. Please be aware that the
privacy
policies of the United States Senate Website, which
hosts this page, also apply to my pages. This policy explains the
Internet or Web information gathering and dissemination practices
my office uses. Please know that while mine is a voluntary policy,
I support the crafting of legislation to protect the privacy of
all visitors to federal government websites.
I
believe that my visitors' right to privacy is a solemn responsibility
of my office. The purpose of this site is to better serve the citizens
of Oregon by ensuring clear and continuous communication. Any information
I receive on this site will only be used to reply to your questions

The
U.S. Senate Website does collect aggregate data, such as total visitors
per page. However, no individual users visit to any Senate
site can be tracked by this information. The Senate does not store
any personal, confidential, or sensitive information in any form.
The Information We Collect:
The United States
Senate provides several online forms (e.g. Contact
Ron) to better serve the needs of my visitors. The only information
available to me about you as an individual Internet user is what
you choose to send me using these forms. The information collected
on this page (name, address, and message) is used to verify your
residency and send a reply to you via U.S. Mail. Please keep in
mind the U.S. Senate cannot guarantee the security of the information
you submit while it travels across the Internet. If you are concerned
about the security of transmitting your information over the Internet,
please contact my office through the U.S. Mail at 516 Hart Senate
Office Building, Washington D.C. 20510.
My web pages do not
use cookies to track your visits. Cookies are small pieces of information
a Website stores on a visitors browser to identify the user
the next time they visit the site.
How We Use the Information:
My office will not
sell, trade, share, or otherwise transfer any information to any
group or individual outside my office. As stated above, your personal
name and address information is only used to provide an immediate
response to your concerns by U.S. Mail. In addition, my office tabulates
the number of constituent comments on each issue. Your comments
may be quoted in speeches, inserted into the Congressional Record,
shared with relevant federal agencies or otherwise used in debate
before the United States Senate. However, your name or personal
identity will never be used without your direct authorization. I
will share any submission that constitutes a physical or otherwise
illegal threat or is otherwise harassing with appropriate law enforcement
officials.
The Senate web service
