Information Collected and Stored Automatically
The U.S. Senate
collects aggregate data about visits to Senate web
sites, such as statistics that show which parts of
each web site were visited the most. The following
information is also collected when you visit any
U.S. Senate web site: the domain from which you
access the Senate web site, the date and time of
your visit, the pages you visit, and the address of
the web site, if any, that provided the link from
which you reached the Senate site. This information
is gathered only for the purpose of enabling us to
improve the online service we provide to visitors to
Senate web sites.
No individual
identifying or personal information (such as your
name) is automatically gathered when you visit any
Senate web site. Senator Snowe's web site does not
use 'cookies' or other means to track your visit in
any way. To learn more about the Senate's Internet
security and privacy policy online, please go to

Submitting Personal Information
Senator Snowe's
web site is designed to collect personal information
only when you choose to provide that
information. The site has an online web form that
you can use to contact Senator Snowe by sending an
electronic mail message. To send an e-mail, an online web form asks you for your name, address,
e-mail address, and other pieces of optional
information. This information is provided by you so
that Senator Snowe and her staff can respond to
your message or request.
If you are
requesting help with casework, it may also be necessary for Senator Snowe's office to share the
information you provide with the government agency
from which you are requesting assistance. Other than when needed
to perform constituent casework at your request, Senator Snowe's office will share
no personal information communicated through this
web site with any outside organization or
individual.
Links to Other Sites
Senator Snowe's
web site has links to other useful sites on the
Internet, including sites of other government
agencies and sites relating to Maine. If you follow
any link that takes you to a location that does not
include 'senate.gov' in the address, you will have
left the Senate web server and you will need to
refer to that site's own privacy policy. You will be
notified upon leaving the Senate server.
