Purpose
The purpose of the statement is to inform users of okhouse.gov about the collection
and use of personally identifiable information.
Definition of Personally Identifiable Information
For the purposes of this statement "personally identifiable information"
means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual who is
the subject of the information.
Personally Identifiable Information Not Routinely Collected
Citizens are not asked to routinely provide personal information to visit Oklahoma
House of Representatives web sites or to download information. Government agencies
may request personally identifiable information from you in order to provide requested
specialized services, but such information is handled as it would be on an in-person
visit to a government office.
Personally Identifiable Information Available From Governmental Web Sites
Access to personally identifiable information in public records at state and local
levels of government in Oklahoma is controlled by Oklahoma law. Information that
is generally available under Oklahoma law may be posted for electronic access through
okhouse.gov.
The IP (Internet Protocol) numbers of computers (servers) used to visit okhouse.gov
sites are noted as part of our statistical analysis on use of our web sites so we
may better design services and improve access to them. However, the site does not
attempt to gain personally identifiable information on individual users and associate
them with IP addresses.
Use of Constituent E-mail Addresses
E-mail addresses obtained as a result of a request to the state site will not be
sold or given to private companies for marketing purposes. The information collected
is subject to the access and confidentiality provisions of Oklahoma Code and federal
law. E-mail or other information requests sent to the state web site may be maintained
in order to respond to the request, forward that request to the appropriate agency,
communicate updates to the state page that may be of interest to citizens, or to
provide the okhouse.gov web designer with valuable customer feedback to assist in
improving the site. Individuals will be provided with the ability to "opt out"
at anytime of any communication regarding new service updates.
Data Security and Quality
okhouse.gov is committed to data security and the data quality of personally identifiable
information that is either available from or collected by governmental web sites,
and has taken reasonable precautions to protect personally identifiable information
from loss, misuse or alteration. Any third parties responsible for this information
are committed to the same principles, and also are required by contract to follow
the same policies and guidelines as the State of Oklahoma in protecting this information.
Unless otherwise prohibited by state or federal law, rule or regulation, the individual
is granted the ability to access and correct personally identifiable information
whether or not the information inaccuracy was accidental or by created unauthorized
access.
Non-State Web Sites
Various Web sites may be linked through okhouse.gov. Visitors to those sites are
advised to check the privacy statements of these sites and be cautious about providing
personally identifiable information without a clear understanding of how the information
will be used.
