NTIA's
General Policy
NTIA
accepts email, written, and verbal communications from anyone and/or
any
organization. These communications may be shared within the government,
and may,
depending on the subject matter, be retained in agency files. Information
from
agency files is routinely released to fulfill information requests
made under
the Freedom of Information Act and as otherwise required by law.
NTIA
Mailing Lists
If you
are interested in notifications from the NTIA grant programs or
other specialized mailing lists, we ask you to provide your email
address
so that we can send it to you. These mailing lists are generally
used to send
notices and information about those activities. NTIA does not sell
or rent its
mailing lists; however, these mailing lists may be shared with non-profit
organizations co-sponsoring events with NTIA.
Messages
sent via email to the public submission addresses for
forums/discussion lists operated by NTIA are assumed to be for possible
public distribution unless the sender indicates otherwise. Such
messages
distributed publicly via those forums/discussion lists will normally
include
the sender's name and email address as provided in their email.
NTIA
Web Site
No "cookies"
are generated or used by the Web or other information servers
at this site at any time.
The
standard Web, gopher, and ftp information servers at this site,
like all other
Web, gopher, and ftp servers, create local log file entries containing
connection-related technical data, but no personally-identifiable
information
not provided explicitly by the user. The data in these logs are
used only for
server and network operation and maintenance, and are not released
to outside
entities. NTIA reviews this information for statistical purposes,
and periodically
deletes this information from its systems logs.
Other
NTIA's
Web sites and all materials provided are general audience in nature
and
are not directed at children.
Specific
proceedings where the public is invited to comment will contain
a notice of
what the agency intends to do with public comments. In most cases,
these
comments will become part of the public record and be posted to
the web site.
Links
to Other Sites
This
site contains links to other sites and servers. NTIA is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. Once
you link to another site,
you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
