A. Information That May Be Collected and How It May Be Used
If you do nothing during your visit to the County website but browse or
download information, we may automatically collect and store the following
information about your visit:
-
The Internet Protocol (IP) address and domain name used, but not the email
address. The IP address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your
Internet Service Provider or directly to your computer. We use the IP address to
direct Internet traffic to you;
- The type of browser and operating system you used and your connection speed;
- The date and time you visited this site;
- The web pages or services you accessed at this site; and
- The website you visited prior to coming to this website.
The information we collect or store is used to improve the content of our Web
services and to help us understand how people are using our services.
Additionally, the data we collect helps us route Web traffic and track down
viruses and attacks against our site. Our website logs do not identify anyone
personally, and we make no attempt to link them with the individuals that browse
the County website.
If during your visit to the County website you submit an online form or
send an email, the following additional information will be collected:
- E-mail correspondence: The e-mail address and contents of the e-mail;
- Forms: Any information you volunteered on an online form.
The information collected may not be limited to text characters and may
include audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us. The
information is retained in accordance with the County's policies. County of
Sutter may use your email to respond to your message, to assist in obtaining
information you have requested, to address issues you identify, to further
improve our website, or to forward the email to another agency for appropriate
action. Information provided on forms will be used for the specified purpose.
B. Personal Information and Choice
Personal information is any piece of information or data about an individual that is readily
identifiable to that specific individual. Examples of personal information includes personal
identifiers such as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or
IP address is
not considered personal information.
Only personal information that is voluntarily provided, through such activities as sending an
e-mail or submitting an online form, may be collected. If you choose not to
participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability
to use any other feature of the County's website.
Any personal information voluntarily provided to the County via e-mail or the online forms
on the County's website will be treated in the same manner as letters to a Board member
or a County department.
The collection of personal information requested from or volunteered by
children on-line or by email will be treated the same as information provided by
an adult.
C. Public Disclosure
We strive to protect personally identifiable information by collecting only
information necessary to deliver our services. All information that may be
collected at this site becomes public record that may be subject to inspection
and copying by the public, unless an exemption in law exists. For instance, if
personal information is requested or volunteered, County rules and regulations
or the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it from disclosure.
In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and any applicable law
governing the disclosure or protection of information, the governing law will
dictate the action to be taken by the County.
