Information collected and how it is used
What information do we collect when you browse this site?
When you browse or download information from our site, we gather some information about your visit. This information does not identify you personally, and is used only to help us understand our users and improve our site. SSPP never takes your information or make it available for commercial use. We automatically collect the following information each time you visit:

1. The Internet Protocol (IP) Address and domain name used. The IP Address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. The IP Address helps us direct Internet traffic to you.
2. The type of browser and operating system you used.
3. The date and time you visited this site.
4. The Internet pages or services you visited at this site.
5. The Internet site you visited before coming to this site.
 What information do we collect if you volunteer it?
If you send an E-mail, participate in an online survey, or provide other information using our site, the following may also be collected:
1. Your E-mail address and contents of your E-mail message (including attachments and signature blocks).
2. Contact information (address, telephone).
3. Organization that you represent.
4. Information volunteered in response to a survey.
5. Information volunteered through an on-line form for any other purpose.
The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video and graphic information formats you send us. More specific information is available at the SSPP Internet sites that ask you to provide information.
We use your E-mail address to answer your questions, address your concerns, or forward to someone else for a response. Survey information is used for much the same purposes.
Personal information and choice
You may choose whether to provide personal information online.
Personal information is information about someone that can easily identify him or her. Personal information includes things like name, address and phone number. A domain name or IP address is not considered personal information. SSPP may request personal information to conduct surveys, send publications, or tell you of changes to SSPP web pages. In these cases we need personal information to answer your request or include your information or comments in a formal legal process. In a legal process such as rule development, comments sent using the web site cannot be included in the official record without personal information.
We do not collect personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it by participating in an online survey, completing an on-line form, or sending an E-mail using our Web site. If you choose not to use these tools, you will still be able to browse the SSPP Internet site and read or download any information from it.

Public access to personal information
Review and correction of personally identifiable information
Any SSPP site that collects personal information about you will contain specific instructions on how to review and correct this information; notify the contact person identified at that site. If you believe your information is incorrect, you may send a written request to the Privacy Contact that includes the reasons for your changes. If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact the Privacy Contact in writing. In all cases, please be prepared to verify your identity before we allow access or make changes. We will attempt to respond and take action, where appropriate.
Cookies and Applets
Some SSPP applications use "cookies" to better serve our users. Cookies are simple text files stored on your computer by your web browser. They are temporary random identifiers that help personalize your browser session. Cookies do not contain personally identifying information and do not affect your privacy or security. You can refuse the cookie or delete the cookie file from your computer by using the method indicated when you access the application that uses cookies.

An applet is a subprogram that executes within another application, and can be sent along with a web page to a user to support certain functions, such as interactive animations, immediate calculations, or other simple tasks without having to access the host’s server. SSPP does not currently use applets.
