Privacy Policies

Thank you for visiting the Wage Determinations OnLine Program Website (WDOL.gov) and reviewing our privacy and security statement. The WDOL.gov Website is part of the Integrated Acquisition Environment, one of the E-Government initiatives in the President's Management Agenda. It is a collaborative effort of the Office of Management and Budget, Department of Labor, Department of Defense, General Services Administration, Department of Energy, and Department of Commerce participating within an OMB-sponsored Interagency Workgroup to improve and enhance access to federal contract wage determinations and related information. The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) hosts and maintains this Website on behalf of the Interagency Workgroup.

We are strongly committed to maintaining the privacy of your personal information and the security of WDOL.gov computer systems. With respect to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, the agencies involved in the development of WDOL.gov make every effort to ensure compliance with applicable Federal law, including, but not limited to, The Privacy Act of 1974, The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and The Freedom of Information Act.

As a general rule, we do not collect personally-identifying information about you when you visit the WDOL.gov site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. The information we receive depends upon what you do when visiting WDOL.gov.

Cookie Use Notice:

The WDOL.gov Website employs "cookies" to provide better service to its customers. The NTIS does not use cookies to collect any personally identifying information from users or to track user activities beyond our Website. The NTIS does not maintain copies of cookies on the WDOL.gov Website after you leave WDOL.gov.

Cookies are small pieces of temporary data that are exchanged between a Website and a user's computer which enable a "session," or "dialog," to be established between the two machines. With the session established, the WDOL.gov is able to tailor its responses (i.e., identify and provide you with the information you want) and help you traverse our Web pages in the most efficient and effective manner possible. The session is often broken when the WDOL.gov's server does not receive further requests from your computer or you simply exit your browser.

The WDOL.gov limits its use of cookies to "session cookies" - types of cookies that are temporarily stored in your computer's memory. Session cookies are normally deleted from a user's computer when the user logs off the computer or the user exits the browser. As of January, 2001, the WDOL.gov does not issue "persistent cookies" - types of cookies that could be stored permanently on your workstation and reused each time you visit the WDOL.gov Website.

For security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, our Web site also employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and The National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996.
