Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 16, 2018
City of Spicer operates the explorespicer.com website.
City of Spicer’s privacy policy is clear; no personal information is collected about you when you visit our web site unless you choose to provide that information to us. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the web site, read pages, or download information, we gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:
- The internet domain (for example, “zcompany.com”) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our web site;
- The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The pages you visit; and
- If you linked to the City of Spicer web site from another web site, the address of that website.
We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors — to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.
If You Send Us Personal Information
If you choose to provide us with personal information — as in an e-mail to City staff, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our web site — we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We treat emails the same way we treat letters sent to the City office. We are required to maintain many documents for historical purposes, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We do not create individual profiles with the information you provide, or provide such information to any private organizations. The City of Spicer does not collect information for commercial marketing.
Protection of Minors
We are especially concerned about protecting children’s privacy. We hope parents are involved in children’s Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are providing personal information on line. We specifically ask children to get their parents’ permission before providing any information on line — at our site or any other site — and recommend parents always be involved in those decisions. Most importantly, when children do provide information through the City of Spicer web site, it is only used to enable us to respond to the writer, and not to create profiles of children.
Cookie Use
Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and transferred to your device. We use cookies to collect information in order to improve our services for you.
We want to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you. We know that some citizens have concerns about cookies, but the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile.
You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
Links To Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party site or service.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of May 16th, 2018 and will remain in effect except for future changes and updates, which will be effective immediately after being posted on this page.
The City of Spicer reserves the right to update our Privacy Policy at any time without notice. Your continued use of the service after we post any changes, updates or modifications to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your consent to adhere and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
