Privacy Statement

Thank you for visiting my site. Protecting the personal privacy of those who visit my site is important to me. My basic Internet privacy policy is simple: my web site collects no personal information about you when you visit the site unless you choose to provide that information to me during your visit so that I can contact you about an issue you have raised or help you with a problem. I have implemented the following policies to safeguard your privacy when you visit this site. If you have questions or concerns about my Internet privacy policy, please contact me, by electronic mail, telephone, or mail, to let me know your opinions.

Personal Information

Certain pages on this site, such as my contact forms and applications, will request personal information from you, such as your name, email address, mailing address and/or phone number. This information will be used by me and my staff to contact you at your request.

If you are requesting casework assistance with a Federal agency or organization, my staff may find it necessary to share your personal information with the agency you are requesting assistance from or with. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that you complete and sign a Privacy Act Request Form before any elected official can assist you.

Other than when needed to perform constituent casework at your request, or in the course of an authorized law enforcement investigation or emergency posing an imminent risk to public safety, my office will never share your personal information with any outside organization or individual.

My office tabulates comments received through my web site concerning legislation and government policy issues so that I will be fully informed about the views of constituents. From time to time, I 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 I feel makes a point of such general interest that I would like to refer to it in a speech, 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 makes 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 feel free to advise me of your preference in the message, so I can respect your wishes and see that your views are held entirely within my office.

Tracking/Cookies/Profile Logging

Senate rules require that Senator Domenici's web site be stored on the official Senate server. Each time you visit http://domenici.senate.gov, the Senate server (like most on the web) collects some basic information, including your IP address, your domain name, the date and time you accessed the site, referral data (for example, the address of the last URL you visited before clicking through to this site) and browser and platform type. Senator Domenici also collects information about the pages visited on his website. This information is gathered for information only to learn more about his web visitors' interests and improve the online service provided. This web site does not use "cookies" to track your visits. Cookies are small files stored on your computer that assigns a numerical user ID and stores certain information about your online visit. This data is then assembled into aggregate statistics. The technical information collected by the Senate server does not collect nor is this information linked to any personal data. The site gathers NO personal data you do not choose to provide to us directly. Our site does utilize cookies to gather impersonal aggregate traffic reporting data, but again, NO personal or private information is gathered by our site or any of the services utilized by Senator Domenici's office to improve its accessibility and usability.

Senator Domenici's site is stored on the Senate Server. Please be aware that the privacy policy of the United States Senate Web site which hosts this page, also applies to Senator Domenici's site.

Links to Other Sites

My web site has links to other useful sites on the Internet, including sites of other government agencies and sites relating to New Mexico. If you follow any link that takes you to a location that does not include 'senate.gov' in the address, you will have left the Senate web server, and you will need to refer to that site's own privacy policy.
