GovDelivery is a hosted Web application that allows governments and other organizations to improve distribution of documents and information.
What information does GovDelivery collect? How is that information used?
GovDelivery only collects personally identifiable information about you
to the extent you specifically provide it to us. This includes, for example, the information you
provide when you register to receive subscriptions or notices related to a document provided by one
of the organizations that we have partnered with.
Information you provide when using GovDelivery:
We use this information you share with us:
- to provide the services you request,
- to improve the content of the Web site, and
- for announcements related to new content on the portion of the site you were using when you
provided the information.
We never share information gathered through our clients with third parties for promotional purposes.
However, we grant select outside vendors limited and controlled access to this information.
These vendors do not use it for any purpose other than to enhance our ability to deliver services
to you and other customers and are bound to keep the information confidential.
In some cases, our client organizations using the GovDelivery service (such as governmental and public bodies) have ownership of the information and its privacy and use is subject
to that client organization's separate privacy policy. We will also share this
information with outside parties as required by law.
Other information about you
In addition to information you provide (e-mail address, password, subscriptions, preferences), GovDelivery uses technology
that lets us know what type of browser you are using, the Web site from which you enter GovDelivery,
and which GovDelivery pages you view. This technology does not identify you personally — it
simply helps us compile statistics about our visitors and their use of the GovDelivery application. We use these
statistics and share them with third parties only to improve our Web site design and content and
in connection with marketing programs.
Cookies
Users browsing documents from one of our clients will receive a "session cookie" that is stored on
the user's computer only until they close the browser. The session cookie allows the server software
to keep the user logged in as they browse GovDelivery. The cookie is not shared with other
websites, does not track or store personal information, and expires as soon as the user closes the
browser.
What if you do not wish to have your information stored by GovDelivery for any reason or purpose?
If you have provided your information to GovDelivery for whatever reason and would prefer that
GovDelivery not store your information for any purpose, simply visit GovDelivery to
cancel your subscription and delete your profile. You can also request removal from our database
by sending an e-mail to REMOVE stating your request. We will act promptly to honor your
request.
Children
GovDelivery does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the
age of 13. If a child has provided GovDelivery with personally identifiable information, we ask
that a parent or guardian send an e-mail to SUPPORT with the child's name and we will do
our best to delete the information from our files.
Your Consent
By using the GovDelivery Web site, you consent to our use of the information you provide to us as
described in this Online Privacy Policy. As we implement new technology and introduce new services,
we will update our Online Privacy Policy, so we encourage you to review it often.
EU Safe Harbor
GovDelivery, Inc. abides by the EU Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding
