Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting Senator Lugar's website. Protecting
the personal privacy of individuals who use the Internet is a priority.
If you have questions or concerns about this Internet privacy policy,
or any other issues involving the Internet, please contact
Senator Lugar.
This website collects no personal information when you
visit unless you choose to provide that information to me during your
visit so that we can contact you about an issue you have raised or help
you with a problem. Below is a more specific description of the type of
information that may be gathered when you visit this web site and how
that information is handled.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
The U.S. Senate collects aggregate data
about visits to Senate web sites, such as statistics that
show which parts of each web site were visited the most.
The following information is also collected when you visit
any U.S. Senate web site: the domain from which you access
the Senate web site, the date and time of your visit,
the pages you visit, and the address of the web site,
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 web sites.
No individual identifying or personal information (such
as your name) is automatically gathered when you visit any Senate web
site. This web site does not use 'cookies' or other means to track your
visit to this site in any way. The Senate provides more information on
its security policy.
If You Send Personal Information
This website is set up not to collect any personal information
about you when you visit the site unless you choose to provide that information
to us. This website has an online web form that you can use to contact
me by sending me an electronic mail message expressing your views or concerns
or asking for assistance with a particular problem involving a federal
agency. To send an e-mail, the online web form asks you for your name,
address, and e-mail address. This information is used to contact you about
the matter on which you expressed your views and to provide casework assistance
regarding problems you may be experiencing in dealing with a government
agency. This information will be available to staff members to assist
in responding to your message or request.
If you are requesting help with a casework matter, it
also may be necessary for the office to share the information you provide
with the government agency from which you are requesting assistance, in
order to respond to your request. 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, this
office will share no personal information communicated through this web
site with any outside organization or individual.
Senator Lugar's office tabulates comments received through
the web site concerning legislation and government policy issues to stay
fully informed about the views of constituents. From time to time, the
office may 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 Senator Lugar feels makes a point of such
general interest that he would like to refer to it in a speech, include
it in the Congressional Record, or make some other use of it. If you intend
your message to be confidential, and would prefer that it not be used
in such a way, please express that in the message top ensure your views
are held entirely within Senator Lugar's office.
Links to Other Sites
This website has links to other useful sites on the Internet,
including sites of other government agencies and sites relating to Indiana.
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.
