Your privacy is of the highest concern to us. To help guard your privacy, our web site usesdata encryption- theSecure Sockets Layer (SSL)protocol - to protect sensitive web pages. If a web page has an address that begins with"https//"rather than "http://" then it uses encryption.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under Federal law.
Privacy and Security Introduction
You need not provide any personal information in order to access this website. We will not collect any personal information about you.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
Like most websites, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We capture your PC's IP address for security purposes. As on most Web sites, when a page is requested we can obtain some information about the request for statistical purposes. This system uses software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of the most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. If you linked to the GoDirect.gov website from another website, the address of that website is stored. 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.
Privacy and Correspondence via E-mail
When you send us personally identifying information (i.e., by sending an electronic mail message containing a question or comment), we use this information to respond to your requests. We may forward your e-mail to other Government employees who are better able to answer your questions. The information you provide is not given to any private organizations or private persons. We do not collect or use information for commercial marketing.
We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us.
