Report2Gov's web servers may collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This data helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users and how to continually create a better overall experience for them. This data does not include personally identifying information.

Report2Gov may gather Personal Information so that we can improve and personalize your experience with Report2Gov. Information that we collect falls into the following primary categories.

In addition to the preceding categories of Personal Information, Report2Gov also collects certain non-identifiable information (the "Non-Identifiable Information"). Whenever you interact with Report2Gov, we receive and store certain types of Non-Identifiable Information. For example, we may use "cookies" to obtain information when your web browser accesses this Site.

The cookie file allows us to recognize your computer when you visit our Site. On most web browsers you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a cookie, and how to turn off cookies. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they may enable you to take advantage of some of our Site's features.
