Privacy
Statement
Our Commitment
Your privacy is important to
the Center for Local Government. This notice explains our online
information practices and the choices you can make that determine
how your information is collected and used.
The Information We Collect
This policy governs all
information collected or submitted on the Center for Local Government’s
web site. In some areas of the web site, visitors can make
information requests, or access other public information
resources. The types of personal information the Center collects
at various points in the Center web site include:
The
primary reason that we collect and maintain information is to
serve you and administer your relationship with the Center.
How We Use Information
Center staff use the
information you provide when completing a transaction you initiate
over one or more of the Internet services on the Center for Local Government’s
website. This information is only used to complete the
transaction you request to be completed. The Center does not
share this information with outside parties except to the extent
necessary to complete your service request.
The Center does not sell
information about current or former users to any third parties,
and it does not disclose it to third parties, unless necessary to
process a transaction.
Center for Local Government’s
Internet services use email addresses to answer email we receive
from you. We also use your email address when you request
enrollment in public newsletters and list-server-based email
notices. This is an automated process and users may opt out
of inclusion at any time by adjusting their profile information.
All email addresses collected by the Center will remain private
and will not be distributed to any other parties for any reason
except as required by law.
Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the
very young is especially important. For this reason, the Center
will not knowingly collect or maintain information from its
website from individuals under the age of 13.
The Center for Local Government
encourages parents to take an active role in their children's use
of the Internet and to spend time online with their children.
Children may ask their parents to submit a request for information
on their behalf.
In the event that a child does
provide us with personal information, a parent or guardian of that
child should contact the Center at the email address or phone
number listed at the bottom of this statement to identify the
information which needs to be removed.
What Other Information
Should I Know About My Privacy?
The Center for Local Government’s website contains links to
other web sites. Please note that when you click on one of these
links, you are entering another web site for which the Center has
no responsibility. We encourage you to read the privacy statements
of all such sites as their policies may be materially different
from the Center’s Privacy Statement.
The Center may disclose
profile information if required to do so by law, court order, as
requested by other government or law enforcement authority, or in
the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or
advisable when we have reason to believe that disclosing the
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be causing interference with our
rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when
anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
Any material changes in the way the Center for Local Government
uses personal information will be described in future versions of
this Privacy Statement.
