Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting my Web site.
Protecting the personal privacy of individuals who use the Internet is one of my
top priorities.
This Web site collects no personal
information about you when you visit the site unless you choose to provide that
information during your visit so I can contact you about an issue you have
raised or respond to your request.
Information Collected and Stored
Automatically
The U.S. House of Representatives
collects aggregate data about visits to House 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. House Web site: the domain
from which you access the House 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 House site. This information is gathered only for the
purpose of enabling us to improve the online service we provide to visitors to
House Web sites.
No individual identifying or
personal information
No individual identifying or
personal information (such as your name) is automatically gathered when you
visit any House Web site. My Web site does not use 'cookies' or other means to
track your visit to the site in any way.
If You Send Us Personal
Information
My Web site is set up not to collect
any personal information about you when you visit the site unless you choose to
provide that information to me. The Web site has a link to an online Web form
that you can use to contact me by sending an electronic message expressing your
views or concerns. This online Web form asks you for your name, address, and
e-mail address. This information provided by you is used to contact you about
the matter on which you expressed your views. This information will be available
to members of my staff so they can help me respond to your message or request.
If we have any incorrect information about you, such as a wrong address or
misspelled name, please contact our office and we will correct our error.
If you are requesting tours of
Washington, D.C. attractions or a flag to be flown over the U.S. Capitol, the
contact information you provide will be used by a member of my staff in
executing that request and in contacting you about your request.
Other than when needed to perform
constituent casework at your request, or in the course of an authorized law
enforcement investigation or emergency posing an imminent risk to public safety,
my office will share no personal information communicated through the Web site
with any outside organization or individual.
Links to Other Sites
My Web site has links to other
useful sites on the Internet. If you follow any link that takes you to a
location that does not include 'house.gov' in the address, you will have left
the House Web server and you will need to refer to that site's own privacy
policy.

My Web site is compliant with the
Platform for Privacy Preference Project (P3P) specification. If you are using a
Web browser or other privacy software that is able to read P3P policies, the
site's privacy practices have already been sent to you automatically. For more
