Privacy Statement

Information which can be identified or associated with a particular person or persons that is collected by government web sites through the Information Network of Central Arkansas Water is subject to these principles and policies:

• Government agencies may request personally identifiable information from you in order to provide requested services, but such information is handled as it would be on an in-person visit to a government office. The information collected should only be that necessary to provide the information or services sought by the requester, again just as a person might provide such information when visiting a governmental office in person. The information collected is subject to the same controls and uses as that collected by governmental offices visited in person, and is likewise subject to disclosure under the provisions of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark Code Ann., §§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-107, or to other applicable sections of the Arkansas Code. At this time, however, you do not have to provide personal information to visit the network's web sites or download information from the network's web sites, so CAW does not collect any personally identifiable information on the network's web sites.
• The IP (Internet Protocol) numbers of computers used to visit [network] sites are noted as part of our statistical analysis on use of our web sites and how to better design services and facilitate access to them. This information is mandatory and is automatically collected. It is not shared with other entities. No marketing databases are created nor is any commercial use made of any such data.
• Various commercial web sites may be linked to or through the CAW network. These private sector sites are not subject to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. Visitors to those sites may wish to check their privacy statements and be cautious about providing personally identifiable information.
