PRIVACY POLICY |
| This is how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our web site. The information we receive depends upon what you do when visiting our site. If you visit our site to read or download information, we may collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account); the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. You may also decide to send us personally-identifying information, for example, in an electronic mail message or by voluntarily disclosing that information by making an entry in our "Guestbook", or by completing and submitting a form. We may use personally-identifying information from you to respond to your inquiries or for other internal business purposes, but we do not sell or rent that information to third parties. You should be aware, however, that others may access such information and use it, though any such use would be without our consent. We want to be very clear: We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. For site security purposes, and to ensure that our Internet services remain available to all users, we employ software to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage or impede access to this our site. Information gathered by our security software may be used to assist official law enforcement investigations and pursuant to any required legal process. As a rule, we do not use Web cookies on our sites. We may, however, use a temporary cookie in order to complete certain secure transactions. The City of Galion Web Sites are provided and operated by the municipal government of the City of Galion, Ohio. Like all government agencies in the State of Ohio, we are required to operate under certain statutes commonly referred to as "The Public Records Act". You should know that depending on the nature of any information you choose to voluntarily submit to us, that information could become a matter of public record. City of Galion Web Sites are operated from a site physically located in the State of Ohio, United States of America. We make no representation that the materials found at our sites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access our sites from other locations, you are responsible for compliance with local laws. If you have a question or comment, please contact us. For the benefit of our web site visitors, the City of Galion Web site contains links to third party sites not operated by the City of Galion. Such sites are not within the control of the City of Galion and may not follow the same privacy, security or accessibility policies at the City of Galion site. The City of Galion is not responsible for the content or availability of those sites, their partners, or advertisers. Links to non-City of Galion web sites do not imply endorsement of any particular product, service, organization, company, information provider, or content.
