Privacy Statement
Thank you for visiting our web site and for reviewing our Privacy Policy. Our policy
is clear:
We collect no information about you, other than information automatically collected
and stored (see below), when you visit our web site unless you choose to provide
that information to us.
Information Automatically Collected & Stored
When you browse through any web site, certain personal information about you can
be collected. We automatically collect and temporarily store the following information
about your visit:
- the name of the domain you use to access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if
you are using an American Online account, or stanford.edu, if you are connecting
from Stanford University's domain)
- the date and time of your visit
- the pages you visited
- the address of the web site you came from when you came to visit.
We use this information for statistical purposes and to help us make our site more
useful to visitors. Unless it is specifically stated otherwise, no additional information
will be collected about you.
Personally Provided Information
You do not have to give us personal information to visit our web sites. If you choose
to provide us with additional information about yourself through an e-mail message,
form, survey, etc., we will only maintain the information as long as needed to respond
to your question or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication. However,
all communications addressed to the Nebraska Regional Poison Center (through The
Nebraska Medical Center Webmaster) are maintained, as required by law, for historical
purposes. These communications are archived on a monthly basis, but are also protected
by the Privacy Act, which restricts our use of them, yet permits certain disclosures.
Disclosure
The Nebraska Regional Poison Center does not disclose, give, sell or transfer any
personal information about our visitors, unless required for law enforcement or
statute.
Intrusion Detection
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to
all users, we employ software programs to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized
attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. In the event
of authorized law enforcement investigations, and pursuant to any required legal
process, information from these sources may be used to help identify an individual.
Systems of Records
Information originally collected in traditional paper systems can be submitted electronically,
i.e., electronic commerce transactions and information updates about eligibility
benefits. Electronically submitted information is maintained and destroyed pursuant
to the Federal Records Act, and in some cases may be subject to the Privacy Act.
If information that you submit is to be used in a Privacy Act system of records,
there will be a Privacy Act Notice provided.
