Site Privacy Policy Version 2.2 January 2008
Thank you for visiting IT Governance Services website. IT Governance Services is committed to protecting your privacy and to making your on-line experience enjoyable, secure, comfortable, and valuable.
While IT Governance Services may adopt and publish privacy policies that differ substantially from the following because of their unique functions, in the absence of any other published policy, this one will apply.
Privacy Policy IT Governance Services policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our website users, consistent with the applicable laws of the United States and the State of Washington. We do not collect, use or disclose any information about our users without their knowledge and approval. We do not share user information with third parties.
Visitors should be aware that the IT Governance Services may be required to disclose personal information in response to valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order. All record keepers face the possibility that disclosure of their records may be compelled in some civil, criminal, or administrative matters. Disclosures may also be necessary to protect the State’s legal rights or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. These events are unlikely, but possible.
Policy Revision and Notification of Changes IT Governance Services will update this policy as new services and features are added. We will tell our users about policy changes through notices on this page, which will always contain a version number and date. Any information collected under the current policy will remain subject to these terms. Information collected after any changes take effect will be subject to the revised privacy policy.
What Information About Users Does IT Governance Services?
A. Automatic Information
The following information is collected and stored automatically from all users accessing the IT Governance Services web sites to browse or download information:
This information is used to create summary statistics, which are used for purposes such as assessing what information is of most interest to users, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. This information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information, and will not be released to any outside (third) parties unless legally required.
B. Personal Information You Provide to Us
IT Governance Services does not retain personally identifiable information about you when you visit our web sites unless you choose to provide such information to us (i.e. sending an e-mail, participating in a survey, responding to a feedback or "contact us" form, etc.) We consider any information that could reasonably be used to identify you as "personally identifying information." This includes, but is not limited to:
If personal information is requested on the web site or volunteered by the user, state law and the United States Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it. However, this information is a public record once you provide it, and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by federal or state law.
E-Mail Communications and Web Forms
If you send us an electronic mail message with a question or comment that contains personally identifying information, or fill out a form that e-mails us information, we will only use this personally identifying information to respond to your request. We may redirect your message to another government agency or person who is in a better position to answer your question.
All e-mail messages collected by IT Governance Services contain the e-mail addresses of persons who voluntarily communicated with or requested information from us. E-mail addresses are not sold, leased or shared with any governmental or commercial entities without the user's consent. When a user has given us their e-mail address for purposes of communicating with or requesting information from IT Governance Services, that communication becomes part of the public record and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by federal or state law.
Does IT Governance Services use Cookies to Collect Information About a User?
We do not use cookies to retain information on the IT Governance Services site. A cookie is a text file, not a program, which is sent to your computer when you access a site. Cookies do not disclose your name or e-mail address to a web site. They can only tell a web site if you have visited before and can pass short bits of information from the web site back to itself the next time you visit. IT Governance Services does not use temporary cookies that do not write anything to the user's hard drive. When the browser is closed the cookie is gone.
Does The IT Governance Services Share The Information It Receives With Anyone?
Except as provided by applicable state and federal laws, we do not collect, use or disclose user information without the user’s knowledge and approval. We do not share user information with third parties unless we have informed users about the disclosures or have prior consent.
In addition, all IT Governance Services contractors must comply with this policy.
Do I Have a Choice About Whether or Not My Personal Information is Provided to Others?
IT Governance Services does not obtain personally identifiable information about you when you visit our web sites unless you choose to provide such information to us (i.e. sending an e-mail, participating in a survey, responding to a feedback or "contact us" form, etc.). We do not disclose, sell, lease or provide any personal information about our users to any other government or commercial entity for any purpose.
There may be instances where we send ongoing updates or announcements to interested parties. In such cases, visitors will have the choice whether or not to receive these updates or announcements.
However, it is important to understand that under applicable state and federal law, various forms of correspondence and other communications may be subject to public disclosure.
Commitment to Security
