Every individual has the right to know if a website is
collecting data about him or her, and how that data is used. The
South Brunswick Republican Municipal Committee (“SBRMC”), takes
seriously concerns about privacy and has formulated the
following statement to address them.
General Policy
We do not collect any personal information about visitors to our
website. We do not know nor can we ascertain a visitor's name,
address, phone number, drivers license or Social Security
number, date of birth, marital status, bank account numbers, nor
- except as explained below - email address. We cannot access
anything stored on the computers used by visitors to our
website.
The SBRMC website may web-based forms to allow visitors to
request information, be added to the SBRMC's mailing lists or to
submit information for inclusion on the website. If you choose
to provide any information via those forms, you do so on a
strictly voluntary basis, but you may rest assured that such
information will be used only for the purpose described. We do
not sell or otherwise share your personal information with any
third parties.
In the unlikely event that SBRMC is required by a governmental
agency or court to turn over any information collected via this
website, we will comply to the extent required by law.
Cookies
Cookies are small bits of data which are placed on your hard
drive by certain websites in order to identify you as a repeat
visitor to those sites. The vast majority of cookies are
innocuous and are used for such things as storing passwords or
membership ID's for sites that require them.
SBRMC's website does not currently (as of September, 2006) issue
cookies for any reason. That could change in the future, if
interactive features are added to the site, but any such changes
will be clearly communicated. And, in any event, any such
cookies will never be used to collect personal information about
visitors to our site.
Visitor Logs
SBRMC's website resides on a server maintained by a third-party
web host. A standard feature of such servers is the creation of
what are called "referrer logs," which contain certain data
about every visit to each website housed on those servers. If
analyzed properly, this log can be useful in understanding how
people find our website, and what features they use most often.
The following information is collected in the referrer log for
the SBRMC website:
The visitor's IP address, which is a code identifying the
visitor's Internet Service Provider (such as America Online,
MSN, etc.)
The referring address, which is the webpage from which the
visitor came to the current site. For example, if a visitor
found SBRMC's website via the Google search engine, the Google
address would be shown as the referring address.
If the visitor arrived at the SBRMC website via a search engine
query, the log shows what words or phrases the visitor used in
that query.
The date and time the visitor came to the current page, and how
long the visitor spent on that page.
A list of all the pages visited within our website.
The referrer log does NOT capture any personal information, such
as name or e-mail address, nor can the log be used to identify
any specific visitor.
Incidentally, the creation of this log is not controlled by, nor
can it be modified by SBRMC.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. SBRMC is not
responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. This
Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by the
SBRMC website.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
SBRMC reserves the right to change or update its Website Privacy
Statement at its discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to
highlight any significant changes to this policy on our website,
but if you are concerned, please check this page periodically.
In any event, we will never change our policy of not collecting
individually-identifiable information from visitors to our
website without their knowledge, nor will we ever share personal
data provided voluntarily by visitors with third parties, except
as provided above.
