Information Collected and How It Is Used

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

  • 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 website.
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access our site.
  • The date and time you access our site.
  • The pages you visit.
  • If you linked to the City of Caseville website from another website, the address of that website.

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors—to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits unless you choose to provide that information to us (see below).

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information—such as in an email to a city official or employee, by filling out a form (e.g., employment application, contact form, or event registration) with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website—we use that information to respond to your message and to help get you the information or services you have requested. We only share the information you provide with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, or as otherwise required by law. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations. We do not collect information for commercial marketing.

Personal Information and Choice

You may choose whether to provide personal information online.

“Personal information” is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual’s name, address, email address, phone number, or other details.

We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it by sending an email, participating in a survey, completing an online form, or engaging in an online transaction. You may choose not to contact us by email, participate in a survey, or provide any personal information using an online form. Your choice not to participate in these activities will not impair your ability to browse the City of Caseville website and read or download any information provided on the site. However, certain services, such as submitting applications or registrations, may require providing personal information.

Privacy Warning

Email is not a secure medium. Personal information sent via the Internet can be intercepted. You may wish to reconsider sending messages that contain highly sensitive personal information to this Internet address.

We do not intend to divulge information collected or voluntarily disclosed, but we may be required to do so pursuant to a request under Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), other state or federal laws, or pursuant to a court order.

Public Access to Information

In Michigan, laws exist to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records and information possessed by municipal government. At the same time, there are exceptions to the public’s right to access public records that serve various needs, including the privacy of individuals. Exceptions are provided by both state and federal laws.

All information collected at this site becomes a public record that may be subject to inspection and copying by members of the public, unless an exemption in law exists.

Cookies

To better serve our users, we may use “cookies” to customize your browsing experience with the City of Caseville website. Cookies are simple text files stored by your web browser that provide a method of distinguishing among visitors to the website. Cookies created on your computer by using our website do not contain personally identifiable information and do not compromise your privacy or security. We use the cookie feature to store a randomly generated identifying tag on your computer. You can refuse the cookie or delete the cookie file from your computer at any time by using any one of several widely available methods.

Our site may also use third-party services, such as analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), which may use cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. This helps us understand how visitors use the site and improve it. You can opt out of such services using tools provided by those third parties.

Security

The City of Caseville, as developer and manager of this website, has taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its telecommunications and computing infrastructure, including but not limited to authentication, monitoring, auditing, and encryption. Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day practices of the entire operating environment as part of its continuing commitment to risk management. This information should not be construed in any way as giving business, legal, or other advice, or warranting as fail-proof the security of information provided via the City of Caseville website.

Disclaimer

The City of Caseville website has many links to other websites. These include links to websites operated by other government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses. When you link to another site, you are no longer on the City of Caseville website and this Privacy Policy will not apply. When you link to another website, you are subject to the privacy policy of that new site.

Neither the City of Caseville nor any agency, officer, or employee of the City of Caseville warrants the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information published by this system, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or services linked from this system, and shall not be held liable for any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of such information. Portions of such information may be incorrect or not current. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from this system does so at their own risk.

Children’s Privacy

The City of Caseville is especially concerned about protecting children’s privacy. We encourage parents and guardians to be involved in children’s Internet activities. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when providing personal information online. We specifically ask children to get their parents’ or guardians’ permission before providing any information online—at our site or any other site—and hope parents will always be involved in those decisions. When children do provide information through the City of Caseville website, it is only used to enable us to respond to the child, and not to create profiles of children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Changes to This Policy

The City of Caseville reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
