For site management, information is collected for statistical purposes. Computer software programs are used 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. No information subject to the Privacy Act, such as name and address, is collected or used for this analysis. Raw data logs are used for no other purposes and are scheduled for regular destruction in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration Guidance.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.

The Treasury web sites do not, as a rule, enable 'cookies'. One or more of the bureaus may use cookies. For additional information specific to a Treasury bureau regarding their use and other privacy information, please visit that bureau's Web site."

Generally, individuals are strongly discouraged from sending any personal information, like a social security number, to the Treasury Web master or any Treasury E-mail address. It may be necessary on certain bureau web sites to collect personally identifiable information (name, E-mail address, social security number, or other unique identifier), but only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. Personally identifying information you provide will be used only for such other purposes as are described at the point of collection by the bureau asking for the information.
