If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information -- as in a customer support e-mail, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our services -- we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We may share the information you give us with any State of New Jersey government agency, department, office or entity, or as otherwise required by law.

Personal Information and Choice

You may choose whether to provide personal information on-line.

"Personal information" is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or Internet protocol address is not considered personal information.

We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us by sending us email, participating in a survey or completing an on-line form. You may choose not to contact us by email, participate in a survey, or provide any personal information using an online form.

Privacy Warning

Email is not a secure medium. Personal information sent via the Internet can be intercepted. You may, therefore, wish to reconsider the advisability of sending messages that contain sensitive, personal information to this Internet address.

We do plan on divulging information collected or information disclosed voluntarily, but may be required to do so pursuant to a request under state right to know laws such as the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, any common law right to know laws, other State or Federal laws or pursuant to court order.

If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact us as shown in the Contact Information Section of this statement.

Public Access to Information

In the State of New Jersey, laws exist to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records and information possessed by state government. At the same time, there are exceptions to the public's right to access public records that serve various needs including the privacy of individuals. Exceptions are provided by both state and federal laws.

All the information collected through our services becomes public records that may be subject to inspection and copying by members of the public, unless an exemption in law exists.
