NASA Website Privacy Statement
This policy establishes how NASA will use information we gather
about you from your visit to our website. The privacy of our customers
is of utmost importance to NASA.
If you visit a NASA site...
1. To read or download information:
We may collect and store information for statistical purposes. For
example, we may count the number of visitors to the different pages
of our Web site to help make them more useful to visitors. This information
does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store
only the following information about your visit:
1. The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if
you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu"
if you connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP address
is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you are surfing the Web) from which you access our Web site;
2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
3. The date and time you access our site;
4. The pages you visit; and
5. If you visited this NASA Web site from a link on another Web site,
the address of that Web site.
Similar information is gathered for anonymous ftp, remote account
login, or for other comparable types of connections.
The information that you provide on a NASA Web site will be used
only for its intended purpose, except as required by law or if pertinent
to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
2. To send us an E-mail:
By sending us an electronic mail (e-mail) message, you may be sending
us personal information such as your name, address, and e-mail address.
We may store your name, address, and e-mail address of the requester
in order to respond to your request or otherwise resolve the subject
matter of the e-mail. Under limited circumstances, including requests
from Congress or private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose
the information you submit.
Remember that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception.
If your communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information
like your Social Security number, you might want to send it by postal
mail instead.
3. To register:
Some of our Web sites ask visitors who request specific information
to fill out a registration form. For example, vendors looking for marketing
opportunities by visiting our NASA Acquisition Internet Service site
may be asked to "register" to obtain email notices of business
opportunities. Other information collected at Web sites through questionnaires,
feedback forms, or other means, enables us to determine visitors' interests,
with the goal of providing better service to our customers.
Regardless of the information being transmitted to NASA, we will
protect all such information consistent with the principles of the
Federal Records Act, the Privacy Act, and as applicable, the Freedom
of Information Act.
