Thank you for visiting the Iroquois County Web site. This

choose to provide that information to us. The specific practices outlined in this privacy statement apply to Web sites maintained by or on behalf of Iroquois County. Other organizations within Iroquois County may have slightly different practices, though the overarching commitment to your privacy will always be the same. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of other organizations when visiting their Web sites. Some of our Web pages contain links to Web sites outside Iroquois County, including those of other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private organizations. Please be aware that when you follow a link to another site, you are then subject to the privacy policies of the new site. Your Rights under the Privacy Act: Information concerning the Privacy Act can be found on the following Web site: http://www.cftc.gov/foia/foiprivacyact.htm Automatic Collections: For each HTTP request received, we collect and store only the following information:
How the Information is Used:
We use the information that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the
different areas of our sites, and to help us make our sites more useful to
visitors. This includes analyzing these logs periodically to determine the
traffic through our server, the number of pages served, and the level of demand
for pages and topics of interest. How Long is the Information Retained:
The logs may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way
necessary to prevent security breaches and to insure the integrity of the data
on our servers. Privacy Act System of Records:
The Iroquois County Web site does not maintain any Privacy Act System of Records (PASOR)
as defined by the Privacy Act. Interaction with Children: The Iroquois County Web sites do not provide content to children and do not collect personally identifiable information from these visitors.

Some of our sites provide forms allowing visitors to submit search engine
queries, questionnaires, feedback, or other information. Some of these forms may
request personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, e-mail
address) for specific purposes, such as when the submitter is requesting a
personal response, registering for a conference, or subscribing to a mailing list. All information submitted by visitors is voluntary. We may store non-personally identifiable information we
collect (such as search engine queries and anonymous survey responses)
indefinitely to help us better understand and meet the needs of our visitors. We
may share non-personally identifiable information with others, including the
public, in aggregated form (for instance, in a list of our most popular search
engine queries), in partial or edited form (such as in a report summarizing
responses to a questionnaire), or verbatim (for example, in a complete listing
of survey responses). Before collecting personally identifiable information, we will prominently disclose:
Consent to Information Collection /Sharing: Generally,
we will not share any personally identifiable information you give us with any
other government agency, private organization, or the public, except with your
consent or as required by law. By pressing the "submit"
button, each visitor constitutes consent to use the information for purposes
stated in this policy. How e-mail is Handled: By
sending us an electronic mail message (for example, an e-mail message containing
an official Freedom of Information Act request), you may be sending us
personally-identifying information. In these cases, we may retain the
information as long as necessary to respond to your request or otherwise resolve
the subject matter of your e-mail. Please be aware that email is not necessarily
secure from interception or misdirection. For your own protection you may wish
to communicate sensitive information using a method other than email. Information Protection:
We want to be very clear: regardless of the information being transmitted to any
unit of Iroquois County, we will protect all such information consistent
with applicable law including, but not limited to, the
Privacy Act of 1974 and the Freedom of Information Act.

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