Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting the Safer Sacramento website. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of digital information that Safer Sacramento gathers on visitors to the website, how that information is used, as well as some of the steps taken to safeguard the information.

Information Collection

Safer Sacramento shall not collect personal information about website visitors unless the visitor chooses to provide that information to Safer Sacramento.

  • Safer Sacramento shall collect limited non-personally identifying information that web browsers make available automatically whenever a visit is made to a website. This information includes the internet address of the computer or network, the date, time, and page visited on the Safer Sacramento site, browser and operating system, and the referring page (the last webpage visited before clicking on a link to the Safer Sacramento site).

  • Safer Sacramento shall use the aggregated information from all of our visitors to measure server performance, analyze user traffic patterns and improve the content of the County site.

  • Safer Sacramento shall track the keywords or search terms that are entered into our search engine to measure interest in specific topics, but shall not track which terms a particular visitor enters.

  • Do Not Track (DNT) is a setting in most major web browsers that tells websites that the visitor does not wish to be tracked. Safer Sacramento shall honor the preference of visitors to not be tracked when a Do Not Track mechanism is in use.

  • Some online Safer Sacramento services and/or trainings require registration. Some personal information is required in order to register for an event, typically name, email address, organization, and job title. ); Safer Sacramento will use that information to provide the service.

  • Some County applications and websites provide geographically relevant information to visitors using the visitor’s geographic coordinates. This location information is only collected with visitor permission.

  • Submission of identifying information and content via the Safer Sacramento Contact page is on a volunteer basis only. By contacting Safer Sacramento via the Contact form, you provide us with permission to collect the information required in the form.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information is information about an individual that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personally identifiable information includes personal identifiers such as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or IP address is not considered personally identifiable information. Safer Sacramento strives to collect the minimum information necessary to comply with applicable law or provide the requested service. If a visitor chooses to participate in a survey, send an email, subscribe to an email service, or perform other transactions using the Safer Sacramento website, the following additional information may be collected:

  • Email address, and contents of emails sent through the websites - for purposes of Safer Sacramento providing a response

  • Information volunteered in response to a survey or through online forms - for purposes identified by the survey or online form.

  • Information volunteered by participating in an online transaction with Safer Sacramento - for purposes of completing the transaction only.

The information collected may not be limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats that a visitor sends to Safer Sacramento. The information is retained in accordance with Safer Sacramento’s policies. Safer Sacramento may use visitor email to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to the visitor, to send subscription-based emails, to address issues identified by the visitor, to further improve the Safer Sacramento website, or to forward the email to another agency for appropriate action. Survey information would be used for the purpose designated.

Distribution of Information

Safer Sacramento does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute visitor's information, including email addresses, to any outside company or organization without the visitor’s permission, unless legally required to do so. This applies to information that may be collected on the Safer Sacramento website and on that of any third party with whom Safer Sacramento contracts to provide internet related services.

Some Safer Sacramento website links connect to third party social media pages. The social media sites may collect personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information collected by third party social media sites is not shared with Safer Sacramento.
