Thank you for visiting the CyberCorps®: Scholarship For Service (SFS)
website and reviewing our privacy policy. Here is how we handle information
about your visit to the SFS website:
If You Are An Interested Party Browsing The Site For Information
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages,
or download information, we may gather and store certain information about your
visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We may
automatically collect and store only the following information about your
visit:
-
The Internet domain (for example, "youragency.gov" if you connect from a
government domain, "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain,
or "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account) and IP address
(an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website;
-
The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
-
The date and time you access our site;
-
The pages you visit; and
-
If you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website.
If collected, we will use this information to help us make our site more useful
to visitors by learning about the number of visitors to our site and the types
of technology our visitors use. Additionally, we do not track or record
information about individuals and their visits. This site uses “session
cookies" when an agency official, staff from a participating institution, or a
participating student registers onto the site. The site also uses “session
cookies” when participating students complete or edit their online resumes.
If You Send Us An Email Or A Forms Request
If you choose to provide us with personal information as in an email to one of
our Online email boxes, or by filling out a form with your personal information
and submitting it to us through our web site, we use that information to
respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have
requested. We treat E-mails and forms request the same way we treat letters
sent to OPM, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other
than to respond to you. We collect personally identifiable information (name,
email address, Social Security number, or other unique identifier) only if
specifically and knowingly provided by you. We only share the information you
give us with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency,
or as otherwise required by law. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles
with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations. We do
not collect information for commercial marketing.
Links To Other Sites
Our website has links to other federal agencies. We also link to other
organizations' websites when we have a good business reason to do so. This does
not constitute an endorsement of their policies or products. Once you link to
another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
Site Security
We ensure that our website remains available to all users by using a Government
computer system that employs software programs to monitor network traffic to
identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise
cause damage.
