Privacy Policy
The Delta Regional Authority provides
this Web site as a public service. DRA does not collect personal
information about visitors to this site unless it is given voluntarily.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
When you browse the DRA Web site, certain information about your
visit is gathered automatically. This information does not identify you
personally. If you do nothing but browse through the site, read pages,
or download information, DRA automatically compiles and stores only the
following types of data about your visit:
- the date and time you access the DRA site;
- the pages you visit on the site;
- the length of your visit;
- the Internet domain and server Internet protocol (IP) addresses from which you access the DRA site;
- the Internet browser and operating system used to access the site;
- if you linked to the DRA site from a search site, the address of that Web site and the search term you used;
- the protocol version (HTTP, FTP) you used in accessing the DRA site;
- whether you were able to successfully access pages you requested; and
- if you linked to the DRA site from another Web site, the address of that Web site.
This information is gathered to help DRA make its site more useful to
visitors-to determine the information visitors want and the types of
technology they use. DRA does not collect data about individuals when
they visit the site. Any data collected is compiled and reviewed in the
aggregate.
Information Collected Via Forms
Forms may be provided on the DRA Web site to allow users to register
online for conferences and events. These forms are always voluntary and
are submitted to the DRA server by the user. The information collected
is stored in registration databases used to generate conference
mailings.
Email
If you send email to DRA staff through the DRA Web site, the personal
information you provide is used only to respond to your message. DRA
does not disclose personal information outside of the agency without
explicit permission.
Cookies
A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so
that it can remember something about you. The DRA site uses a type of
cookies called "session cookies," which disappear as soon as you close
your browser. DRA uses these cookies to collect aggregate data about
which sections of the site are used most and least. The session cookie
allows you to be tracked as a number-not a name-only for the length of
time that you are on the DRA site. The next time you visit the site, you
will get a different random number. If you have any questions or
concerns about how the DRA site uses session cookies, please contact the
DRA Webmaster.
Links to Other Sites
DRA provides links or pointers to Web sites administered by states,
public agencies, and other organizations for the convenience of visitors
to this site. This practice does not constitute DRA's endorsement of
the content of these Web sites or of other organizations' policies or
products. Once users follow links or pointers to external sites, they
are then subject to the privacy policies of those sites.
Concerns about the appropriateness of any links or pointers on the DRA site should be addressed to the DRA Webmaster.
Security
For site security and to ensure that this service remains available
to all users, this government computer system employs software programs
to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload
or change information, deny service, otherwise cause damage, or access
non-public information. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or
change information are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Infrastructure
Protection Act of 1996. Information regarding possible violations of
law may be provided to law enforcement officials.
If you have any questions or comments on the information presented here, please send them to the DRA Webmaster.
