The purpose of this statement is to define this sites policy with regards to the collection and use of personally identifiable information (PII). PII is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual who is the subject of the information.
This site collects two kinds of customer information: (1) anonymous; (2) personally identifiable information (PII).
Anonymous information: This type of information does not identify specific individuals and is automatically transmitted by your browser. This information consists of:
* The URL (Uniform Resource Locator or address) of the web page you previously visited;
* The domain names and/or IP addresses which are numbers that are automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are connected to the Internet or World Wide Web.
* The browser version you are using to access the site.
This information is used to help improve the site. None of the information can be linked to an individual.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
This type of information could include name, address, email address, and telephone number. The Silicon Valley-ITS Program will make every reasonable effort to protect your privacy. It restricts access to your personal identifiable information to those employees who will respond to your request. The Silicon Valley-ITS Program does not intentionally disclose any personal information about our customers to any third parties or outside the Silicon Valley-ITS Program except as required by law or by the consent of the person providing the information.
The Silicon Valley-ITS Program only collects personally identifiable information that is required to provide service. You can decline to provide us with any personal information. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, the Silicon Valley-ITS Program may not be able to provide you with the online services dependent upon the collection of that information.
Access to Personally Identifiable Information
Access to personally identifiable information in public records at local levels of government in San Jose is controlled primarily by the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250, et. seq.). Information that is generally available under the Public Records Act may be posted for electronic access by the Silicon Valley-ITS Program. While the Public Records Act sets the general policies for access to Silicon Valley-ITS Program records, other sections of the California code as well as federal laws also deal with confidentiality issues.
Email addresses
Email addresses obtained through this site will not be sold or given to other private companies for marketing purposes. The information collected is subject to the access and confidentiality provisions of the Public Records Act, other applicable sections of the California code as well as Federal laws. Email or other information requests sent to this site may be maintained in order to respond to the request, forward that request to the appropriate agency within the Silicon Valley-ITS Program, communicate updates to this site that may be of interest to travelers, or to provide the Silicon Valley-ITS Program web designer with valuable customer feedback to assist in improving the site. Individuals can cancel any communications regarding new service updates at any time.
