Site Management Data:
CITS Web servers automatically collect information for site management and for statistical purposes.

All the information users submit to CITS is done on a voluntary basis. When a user clicks the "Submit" button on any of the Web forms found on CITS's sites they are indicating voluntarily consent to the conditions outlined in this policy. We do not collect personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, phone number, e-mail address) unless you provide it. In all cases, the information collected is used to respond to user inquiries or to provide services requested by our users. Any information provided through one of our Web forms is removed from Web servers within seconds, increasing the protection for this information.

How e-mail is handled:
We use information you send us by e-mail only for the purpose for which it is submitted (e.g., to answer a question, to send information). In addition, if you do choose to provide information, it is only used to respond to your request or to provide a service you are requesting (support requests, technical information, etc..). Information we receive by e-mail is disclosed to the public only pursuant to the laws and policies governing the dissemination of information.

How long information is retained:
We destroy the information we collect when the purpose for which it was provided has been fulfilled unless we are required to keep it longer by statute, policy or both.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.

Conditions under which the information may be shared with Federal agencies:
