Privacy Notification

In compliance with Chapter 429 (1998) SB 1386 (Leslie), the Commission is making this notification concerning personal information collected on the Commission's website. The only personal information gathered is the user's unique Internet Protocol address, the user's host name, the operating system of the computer, and the Internet browser along with the pages visited by the user.

The collection of the IP address in the log of the host server is standard among all web servers. The host name identifies the generic name of the computer and the network to which it belongs. The proxy, or firewall, at the Internet Service Provider may mask the IP address and the host name.

The information gathered is used to generate statistics about the Commission's website usage. Reports show the countries of origin, the page popularity, types of browsers, operating systems, and the number of users from particular networks (.com, .net, .gov, and .edu). This information helps the Commission to make design changes to ensure site compatibility with the majority of the users' computers.

All information gathered is subject to the limitations set forth in the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Title 1.8 [commencing with Section 1798] of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) and is exempt from requests made pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 [commencing with Section 6250] of Division 7 of Title 1). The Commission does not distribute or sell electronically collected personal information, nor does the Commission reuse the collected information.
