Privacy Information
City of Savannah Web Site Properties
Related: Conditions of Use

Your privacy is important to the City of Savannah (COS). This statement discloses the information practices for COS Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.

Personal information In general, you can visit COS on the Web without telling us who you are and without revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners may need information from you.

You may choose to give us personal information, such as your name and address or e-mail id that may be needed, for example, to correspond with you, to process an order or to provide you with a subscription. It is our intent to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you on the Internet. If you tell us that you do not want us to use this information as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.

Information security and quality We intend to protect the quality and integrity of your personally identifiable information. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as using encryption for transmission of credit card numbers, to help us keep your information secure, accurate, current, and complete.

We will make a sincere effort to respond in a timely manner to your requests to correct inaccuracies in your personal information. To correct inaccuracies in your personal information please return the message containing the inaccuracies to the sender with details of the correction requested.

Cookies, web beacons and other technologies We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to our sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit and we also measure visitor activity on COS web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information anonymous. This anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." COS or its analytic vendors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.

Also, when we collect personal data from you in connection with a transaction we may extract some information about that transaction in an anonymous format and combine it with other anonymous information such as clickstream data. This anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. None of this information is reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner, you can either disable your cookies or opt-out at the order or request page.

Online advertising COS may from time to time have certain companies help us deliver our banner ads and other online communications. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers. The information they collect is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual. If, however, you would prefer that these companies not collect information from your experience, please visit the PrivacyChoices site at www.privacychoices.org and follow the "opt-out" instructions.

Personalized URL link On occasion, COS presents a personalized URL (link) that brings the visitor to a personalized Web page. Such a personal URL is readily identifiable and by clicking on that link and going to a personal Web page you are agreeing to let COS collect information about your session visits. We use this information to help us provide you with information that matches your interests. If you do not wish information to be used in this way, simply do not click on such personalized URLs.

Children's data We are committed to comply with applicable laws and requirements, such as the United States' Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Privacy technology Technology will increasingly help you to have more control over your personal information. It will also help organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies. Products and services are available which can help give you privacy protection while navigating the Web. See http://www.privacyalliance.org/ resources/rulesntools.shtml for an overview of many privacy-related tools.

Please note that COS has not formally evaluated all of these tools.

Business relationships The COS sites contain links to other Web sites. COS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
