Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the LCFRB website and reviewing the privacy notice. This statement addresses collection, use, security, and access to information that may be obtained through this website.
Information Collected and Its Use
If you only browse, read pages, or download information on this website, LCFRB will gather and store the information below about your visit. LCFRB uses cookies to collect the anonymous web traffic data listed below. This information does not identify you personally.
- 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. LCFRB uses the Internet Protocol address to direct Internet traffic to you. This address can be translated to determine the domain name of your service provider (for example xcompany.com or yourschool.edu).
- The type of browser and operating system you used.
- The date and time you visited this site.
- The Web pages or services you accessed at this site.
- The website you visited before coming to this site.
LCFRB uses this information to improve web services and to understand how people use LCFRB services.
Volunteered Information that is Collected
If you participate in a survey, send an e-mail, or perform some other transaction on LCFRB’s website, the following additional information will be collected:
- The e-mail address and contents of e-mail, for those who communicate with LCFRB via e-mail.
- Information volunteered in response to a survey.
- Information volunteered through an online form for any purpose.
LCFRB uses your e-mail to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to you, to address issues you may identify, to further improve the website, or to forward the e-mail to another agency or organization for action. Information from online forms is used to either send you information on LCFRB programs or provide information from you to LCFRB for input on LCFRB programs.
Personal Choice
You may choose whether to provide personal information online. Personal information is information about a person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual, such as an individual’s name, address, and telephone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information. LCFRB collects no personal information unless you voluntarily provide it by sending LCFRB an e-mail, participating in a survey, or completing an online form. You may choose not to do these activities and that will not impair your ability to view the website or download any information.
If personal information is requested or volunteered, state law and the federal 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.
If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, contact the LCFRB office.
Public Access to Information
All of the information collected at this site becomes public records, unless an exemption in law exists. In the event of a conflict between this privacy notice and the Public Records Act or other laws governing the organization’s disclosure of records, the Public Records Act or other applicable law will control.
Nondisclosure of Certain Information
LCFRB may require some personal information to add you to a mailing list or include your information in a grant program. You may choose not to provide this information, but if you choose not to provide it, LCFRB will be unable to send you information about programs or projects.
Security
LCFRB has taken steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to information maintained. For site security and to ensure that this website remains available to all users, LCFRB employs software to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to cause damage to this website. These measures are designed to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to systems and information, and provide reasonable protection of private information.
This information should not be construed in any way as giving business, legal, or other advice, or warranting as fail-safe, the security of information provided via this website.
