Collection of Personal Information
At times, particularly when you request reports or forms, download electronic files, or submit information through online forms from the DOF Web site or via email, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to participate in these programs. If you elect to participate in these programs, however, we may require that you provide your contact information, which may include your name, mailing address, email address, and other personal identifying information.
Children's Online Privacy Protection
DOF will not willingly or openly collect or distribute information or perform monetary transactions with children under the age of 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. While this act is intended to apply to websites and online services used for commercial purposes (which this website is not), in keeping with the intent and purpose of that protection act, DOF may share personal information in the form of a name, address, phone number, or email address with another agency for the sole purpose of answering the child's inquiry or forwarding their inquiry, but will not make the information publicly available in identifiable form, by any means including by a public posting, through the Internet, or through a home page of a website, a pen-pal service, a non-government electronic mail service, a message board, or a chat room.
