Here is how we handle information about your visit to our
website.
What We Collect and Store Automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the
website, read pages, or download information, we will gather
and store certain information about your visit automatically.
This information does not identify you personally. We automatically
collect and store only the following information about your
visit:
- The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com"
if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu"
if you connect from a university's domain) 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. We use the information we collect
to count the number and type of visitors to the different
pages on our site, and to help us make our site more useful
to visitors like you.
If You Send Us E-mail
You may choose to provide us with personal information, as
in e-mail with a comment or question. We use the information
to improve our service to you or to respond to your request.
Sometimes we forward your e-mail to other government employees
or authorized concessionaires who may be better able to help
you. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations,
we do not share our e-mail with any other outside organizations.
Links to Other Sites
Our website has many links to our partners, especially other
federal agencies. In a few cases we link to private organizations.
When you link to another site, you are no longer on our site
and are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
