Privacy Policy
Tuesday, 11 December 2007
 Thank you for visiting my website, I welcome your comments and suggestions about how we can improve our privacy policy to ensure that everyone feels confident about visiting this site and using its resources. Please feel free to  contact me if you have any further questions or comments about this policy.

I do not share, sell or disclose personal information about individuals to any entity outside of this congressional office without explicit prior authorization from the individual. The only exception to this policy is the rare occasion when it is necessary to share information in order to accomplish a constituent's request. In this case, my office may forward a copy of the constituent's correspondence to a different government agency or congressional office. I always ask that the constituent's information be kept confidential. When communicating with my office, constituents often share their name and address. We do keep a copy of all correspondence with constituents for my records. Information collected from constituent correspondence is used solely for information and, in some cases, to respond to you.
