My homepage is an official web site of the
United States government. I understand that privacy is an
important issue for visitors to my site. My privacy policy
below addresses your concerns about what information is
collected, how it is collected and how it is used.
Information Collection and Use
My office will
not obtain personally identifying information about you when
you visit our site unless you choose to provide us with such
information, either through a web site form or via
e-mail.
Occasionally, my office will forward letters
with personal information from non-constituents to their
Representative's office. This is done as a courtesy to other
Members of Congress to allow them to build a relationship with
their community. In this case, we retain no information from
that letter.
Otherwise, my office shares the
information you give us with another government agency only if
your inquiry relates to that agency, or as required by law. We
do not distribute or give any information to any private
organizations or use it for commercial marketing.
The
U.S. House of Representatives computer system uses software
programs to create summary statistics, which are used for web
site planning and maintenance, determining technical design
specifications, and analyzing system performance.
