NGA Security Policy |
|
- The NGA Website is provided as a public service by the National Geospatial-Inteligence Agency (NGA).
- Information presented on NGA is considered public information and may be distributed or copied unless otherwise specified. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested.
- For site management, information is collected for statistical purposes. This government computer system 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, this government computer system 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, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are used for no other purposes and are scheduled for regular destruction in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration guidelines.
- Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
- If you have any questions or comments about the information presented here, please forward them to us using the FOIA Security and Privacy Form.

Public comments and questions about NGA and its policies are
handled by the Directorate for Public Affairs.
We wish to be as helpful and responsive as possible in answering questions and
heeding comments. However, we are a small office with limited
resources. Therefore, we may not be able to respond quickly to
your questions, nor will we have an answer to every question.

Some specific details on how to help us serve you better:
- If you are seeking reports and/or other material, please provide your postal address along with your e-mail address. We will notify you by e-mail whether we have the item(s) you seek. To ensure a timely delivery of your information, please make sure your postal address is accurate and complete.
- We will convey your comments about NGA policies and practices to senior NGA Officials, but we do not have the staff to respond to all such comments.
