The City of Trenton (the “City”) respects your privacy and we are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the type of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit www.trentonoh.gov (our “Website”) or use our services.
This Policy applies to information we collect:
- On or through the Website;
- Through our e-mail and newsletter services;
- Through blogs and discussion boards.
It does not apply to information collected by:
- Us offline or through any other means; or
- Any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will use and treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Website. By accessing and using the Website, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see “Changes to our Privacy Policy” below). Your continued use of this Website after changes are made is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
Cookies:
To help make the Website more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we use a standard feature of browser software, called a “cookie,” to assign each visitor a unique, random number that resides on your computer. The cookie does not identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. We use cookies to help us deliver a better, more personalized service. For example, we use cookies to track the pages and services on the Website visited by our users. We can build a better Website if we know which pages and features our users are visiting and how often.
Browser Level Information and IP Addresses:
Our web server automatically collects limited information about your computer configuration when you visit the Website, including the type of browser you use, the operating system you are running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the web site that referred you, and your IP address. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data such as the web pages you want to view can be transmitted to you. We use IP address information for systems administration and trouble-shooting purposes.
Other Disclosures:
We may occasionally release information about our visitors for the purpose for which you provided it, any other purpose disclosed by the City when you provide the information to us, and when release is appropriate to comply with any court order, law, legal process or obligation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of visitors to our sites, the public, our customers, or our government and its employees, agents, partners, and affiliates.
Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information:
You may choose to set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Website may then be inaccessible to you or not function properly.
Accessing and Correcting your Information:
You can review and update your personal information by logging into the Website and visiting your account. You may also send us an email at sharon@trentonoh.gov to request access to, correct, or request deletion of any personal information that you have provided to us. Please note we cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal obligation or cause the information to be incorrect.
If you delete your User Contributions from the Website, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other Website users.
Data Security:
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have been given or chosen a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please do not share your password with anyone. Please also be cautious about giving out information on public areas of the Website like blogs and discussion boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do are best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy:
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you through a notice on the Website home page. The date the Policy was last revised is identified at the top of this page. You are responsible for frequently visiting our Website and this Policy to check for any changes. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of the revised Policy means that you accept and agree to the changes.
