Privacy Policy


We are committed to protecting your privacy.  No personal information about you is collected when you visit our web site unless you choose to provide that information.

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the web site, read pages, or download information, certain information may be gathered and stored about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. The following information is automatically collected and stored about your visit:

  • The name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account).
  • The date and time you access our site.
  • The Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site or the Internet address of the computer used to link to our site.

This information is used for site management purposes. We use software programs to create summary statistics using this information. These statistics are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

If you choose to provide personal information - as in an e-mail or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it through this web site - this information will be used to respond to your message and to help get you the information and the help you have requested. E-mail is treated the same way as letters sent though the Postal System. The information you give will only be shared with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency. No individual profiles are created with the information you provide or to give it to any private organizations. The information is not collected for commercial marketing.

Thank you for visiting.
