Information Collected If You Only Browse This Site
If you do nothing during your visit to our website but browse, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit. This information does not identify you personally. The following information is automatically collected and stored about your visit:

• The internet Protocol Address and domain name used. The internet Protocol address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the internet Protocol Address to direct internet traffic to you. This address can be translated to determine the domain name of your service provider (e.g. xcompany.com or yourschool.edu). Generally, the City only determines visitor domain names if a security issue is suspected;
• The type of browser and operating system you used;
• The date and time you visited this site;
• The web pages, downloaded files or services you accessed at this site; and
• The website you visited prior to coming to this website.

This information is collected for statistical and site management purposes. The City's website uses software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, the City's website employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations and the security purposes mentioned elsewhere in this notice, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are used for no other purposes.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under state and federal statutes including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.

What We Collect If You Volunteer Information
If during your visit to our website you participate in a survey, send an email, or perform some other transaction online, the following additional information will be collected:

• The email address, and contents of email, for those who communicate with us via email.
• Information volunteered in response to a survey.
• Information volunteered through an online form for any other purpose.
• Information volunteered by participating in an online transaction with the City.

The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us.

We use your email address to respond to you. Survey information is used for the purpose identified by the survey. Information from other online forms is used only for conducting City business related to the online form.

Information provided for a transaction is used only for the purpose of completing and recording the transaction. Information requested will be no more specific than if a visitor were engaging in the transaction by other means, including by telephone or in-person while visiting a City facility. In all cases, the City strives to collect the minimum information necessary to comply with applicable law or provide the service requested.

The City does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute visitor's information, including electronic mail addresses, to any outside company or organization, unless legally required to do so. This applies to information that may be collected on the City's site and on that of any third party with whom the City contracts to provide internet related services.
