Thank you for visiting my website. Protecting the personal privacy of individuals who use the Internet is a priority of mine, and I appreciate the opportunity to describe to you the policies I have put in place to safeguard the privacy of individuals who visit my website. 

My website collects no personal information about you when you visit unless you choose to provide contact information for casework, correspondence, electronic newsletter, or a similar service.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically
The U.S. Senate collects aggregate data about visits to Senate websites, such as statistics that show which parts of each website were visited the most. 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. To learn more about the Senate's Internet security and privacy policy online, please go to http://www.senate.gov/security.html.

If You Send Us Personal Information
This website does not collect any personal information about you when you visit the site unless you choose to provide that information to us. Information provided will be treated confidentially.
When you request assistance, the information you provide may be shared with other government agencies only when necessary to resolve your issue.  The information you provide us will be released to law enforcement agencies if threatening or other potentially unlawful communications are made.

If you are requesting help with a casework matter, it also may be necessary for my office to share the information you provide with the government agency from which you are requesting assistance, in order to respond to your request.  Occasionally, a comment made in correspondence or a phone call by a constituent will be included in a speech or placed in the Congressional Record.

Links to Other Sites
This site has links to other useful pages on the Internet that may be of interest to visitors. Visitors who follow any link that leads to a page that does not include 'senate.gov' in the address have left the Senate Web server and need to refer to that site's specific privacy policy.
