How we handle the information we gather when you visit our web site
We collect and store only the following information about you: The name of the domain from which you
access the Intranet; the date and time you access our site; the item you requested from the server; and the Intranet
address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. If your browser accepts cookies we may use a cookie
to determine if you are a repeat or new visitor, or to understand how many different visitors come to our sites. When we
examine this data, it is always presented in an aggregate form. Except as outlined in the Security section at the bottom
of this document, we do not track or look at individuals' usage behavior.
If you identify yourself by sending an E-mail:
When you send us personally-identifying information, (e.g., in an electronic mail message containing a
question or comment), or by filling out a form that E-mails us this information, we use this information to respond to
your request. We may also forward your E-mail to other Government employees, who are better able to answer your questions.
We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personally-identifying information
about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Except for authorized law
enforcement investigations, or as otherwise required by law, we do not share any information we receive with any outside
parties.
Links to other sites:
The documents posted on this Website may contain hypertext links or pointers to information created and
maintained by other public and private organizations. These links and pointers are provided for visitors' convenience. DoS
does not control or guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any linked information from non-DoS sites.
The inclusion of links or pointers to Web sites is not intended to assign importance to those sites or the
information contained therein, nor is it intended to endorse or recommend any views expressed, or products or services
offered on these sites.
Security:
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, DoS webservers
employ industry-standard methods to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise cause damage. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on DoS servers
are strictly prohibited and may be punishable by law, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National
Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
In the specific context of this security monitoring, there is no expectation of privacy. However, only in
the case of actual law enforcement investigations, will we attempt to identify individual users or their usage habits.
