TSA maintains this website for the use of the public. The following terms of use
apply to your use of this website only.
The Administrator of TSA is committed to protecting your privacy and will collect no
personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information.
If you simply browse this website:
When you visit the TSA Website to browse information it contains, you do so anonymously
unless you choose to provide information about yourself. If you do nothing but browse
the website-reading pages, viewing photographs, or downloading information, for
example-we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically.
This information does not identify you personally.
This gathering and storing of information is separate from the activity described
as monitoring in our Security Notice.
Information gathered automatically is used for only two purposes: site management and,
in the case of suspected unauthorized activity, for law enforcement activities and
possible criminal prosecution (see Security Notice).
The TSA Website server automatically logs visitor information from which summary
statistics are created. We use the summary statistics to help make the site more useful
to visitors, such as assessing what information is of most and least interest to
visitors, and for other purposes such as determining the site's technical design
specifications and identifying system performance or problem areas.
The following are representative of the types of information automatically collected
and stored about your visit:
- the Internet domain and Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you access
this website;
- the type of Internet browser and the operating system of the computer you use
to access this site;
- the date and time you visit this site;
- the pages you visit on this site;
- if you linked to this website from another website, the address of that
website;
- and, if you linked to our website from a search website, the address of that
website and the search term you used.
Privacy Act Statement:
Authorities:
Routine Uses: Information collected via TSA's website may be provided to
law enforcement agencies as described in our Security notice.
TSA's Website does use "cookies" to gather and store information about your visits to
this site.
Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords,
that some Web servers collect from you when you access them. That data is stored on
your hard drive-not on the website's server. Whenever you visit a "cookie" site, the
server looks for its cookie on your hard drive and, if found, then reads the
information it stored there.
This system and related software and equipment are intended solely for the
communication, transmission, processing, and storage of U.S. Government information.
For site security purposes and to ensure that this website remains available to all
users, the Director of Central Intelligence monitors network traffic to identify
unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage to
the site. Anyone using this website expressly consents to such monitoring.
Unauthorized attempts to modify any information stored on this system, to defeat or
circumvent security features, or to utilize this system for other than its intended
purposes are prohibited and may result in criminal prosecution.
If monitoring reveals evidence of possible criminal activity, such evidence may be
provided to law enforcement personnel.
