This web site is provided as a public service by NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (NOAA OR&R); we
welcome you as a site visitor. Here is an explanation of how we handle information we learn about you during your
visit.
Most important, we do not collect information about you that would allow us to identify you by name or contact
you directly (such as your name or email address), unless you choose to send that information to us. How we handle
information about you depends on how you use our web site:
-
If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store just the following information
about you:
- Your host name or IP address.
- The date and time when you visited pages on our site.
- The pages you viewed.
We use this information for site management purposes: for example, to learn how people visit the pages on
our site, to find out which pages are of most interest to visitors, and to identify problems people may
encounter at our site.
-
If you identify yourself by sending us an email containing personal information (such as your postal address
when you request us to send something to you),
- We use your information to respond to your request.
- We save your message in an email archive, which we use for site management purposes (for example, it's
useful to us to see how many people have requested a particular item, or have asked a particular
question).
By sending us personal information, you are giving your consent for us to use the information for the stated
purpose.
We do not use information about you in any other ways, and we do not share information about you with other parties. We do not use persistent tracking technologies, including web "cookies." (A cookie is a file placed on your hard drive by a web server, often without your knowledge.)
