As part of my Web site privacy policy, no personal information
will be collected about you when you visit my Web site unless
you choose to provide that information. I comply with four
core privacy principles: notice, choice, access, and security.
For the FTC's Report and Recommendations on the Network
Advertising Initiative, see http://www.ftc.gov/os/2000/07/onlineprofiling.htm.
Here
is how I handle information about your visit to my Web site:
Information Collected and Stored Automatically: If all you
do during your visit is browse through the Web site, read
pages, or download information, the only information I will
gather and store about your visit is the following information:
- The Internet domain (for example, "aol.com" or "xcompany.com")
from which you access the Internet;
- The IP address (an
IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which
you access my Web site;
- The type of browser and operating
system and connection speed used to access the site;
- The
date and time you access the site;
- The pages you visit;
and
- If you linked to my Web site from another Web site,
the address of that Web site.
This information is used for site management purposes --
to learn about the areas of the site that are of the most
and least interest, the number of visitors to my site, and
the types of technology my visitors use. For users that simply
browse and download information, I do not track or record
any personal information about you and your visit.
Personal Information: If you choose to provide me with personal
information -- such as if you send me an e-mail or you fill
out a form with your personal information and submit it through
my Web site -- I collect and store your e-mail address and
the content of your communication in order to consider and,
as appropriate, reply to your communication.
In order to better serve your needs, I may share the information
you give me with another government agency that is better
equipped to respond to your concerns. Additionally, federal
law may require that certain unlawful communications be forwarded
to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
We also may wish to save certain information that you provide
us for future reference, in order to contact you about issues
or activities we believe match your interests. Before saving
any information, you will be given notice and an express
choice as to whether such information may be saved.
We won't assume that you have "opted in" to allow
us to save your information simply because you have not "opted
out." Unless you give us permission, we will assume
you haven't. If you do "opt-in," we assume you
would not mind if we save your information and in order to
contact you later and find issues and activities that match
your interests. If this is the case, simply check the appropriate
box.
Information on Children: We do not ask children 13 and under
for any identifying information. We do not knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children 13 and
under.
Links to Other Sites: My Web page contains links, some of
which are to other sites or other federal agencies. Once
you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy
policy of the new site.
Unauthorized use, tampering with or modification of this
system -- or its supporting hardware or software -- may violate
federal or other statutes 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.
