[DOJ Privacy and Security Act Notice]
[ATF Accessibility Statement] ATF
Privacy and Security Act Notice
Thank you for visiting the Department
of Justice's Web site and reviewing our privacy and security notice. We remind
you that if you link to a site outside of the Department of Justice, you are subject
to the policies of the new site. PRIVACY Here is how we handle
information about your visit to our Web site: A. Information
Collected and Stored Automatically If you visit our site
to read or download information, we collect and store the following information
about your visit: - The name of the Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com"
if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if
you are connecting from a university's domain) and the IP address (a number that
is automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet) from
which you access our site;
- The type of browser and operating system used
to access our site; - The date and time you access our site; - The
Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site; and
- The pages you visit and the information you request. This
information is primarily collected for statistical analysis and technical improvements
to the site. This government computer system uses software programs to create
summary statistics, which may be 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. In certain circumstances, however,
we may take additional steps to identify you based on this information and we
may share this information, including your identity, with other government agencies.
B. If You Send Us Personal Information
If you choose
to provide us with personal information, such as by sending an e-mail or by filling
out a form and submitting it through our Web site, we will use that information
to respond to your message or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication.
Remember that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication
is sensitive or includes personal information you may prefer to send it by postal
mail instead. We may share the information you give us with another government
agency if your inquiry relates to that agency. In other limited circumstances,
such as responses to requests from Congress and private individuals, we may be
required by law to disclose information you submit. Before you submit personal
information, such as on an online form, you may be given more specific guidance
as to how your personal information may be used. Electronically submitted
information is maintained and destroyed according to the principles of the Federal
Records Act and the regulations and records schedules of the National Archives
and Records Administration, and in some cases may be covered by the Privacy Act
and subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
C. Cookies
"Cookies"
are small bits of text that are either used for the duration of a session ("session
cookies"), or saved on a user's hard drive in order to identify that user,
or information about that user, the next time the user logs on to a Web site ("persistent
cookies"). The Department's Web site and its component sites do not use persistent
cookies. One or more of the Department's component sites may use session cookies
to provide streamlined navigation throughout their sites. These session cookies
are deleted from the component's server soon after your session ends and are not
collected or saved.
SECURITY 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. Anyone using this system expressly consents to such monitoring
and is advised that if such monitoring reveals evidence of possible abuse or criminal
activity, such evidence may be provided to appropriate law enforcement officials.
Unauthorized attempts to upload or change information on this server 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 of 1996.
If you have any questions or comments about the information presented
here, please forward them to webmaster@atf.gov.
