Privacy Notification
The Treasury web sites do not, as a rule, enable 'cookies'. One or more of the bureaus may use cookies. For additional information specific to a Treasury bureau regarding their use and other privacy information, please visit that bureau's Web site."

If you visit our site to read or download information, we collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet; the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you voluntarily choose to provide such information to us by E-mail, by completing a comment form, forum registration site, or other on-line form. The Department of the Treasury does not give, sell or transfer personal information to third parties, unless required by law, such as the Freedom of Information Act.

Generally, individuals are strongly discouraged from sending any personal information, like a social security number, to the Treasury Web master or any Treasury E-mail address. It may be necessary on certain bureau web sites to collect personally identifiable information (name, E-mail address, social security number, or other unique identifier), but only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. Personally identifying information you provide will be used only for such other purposes as are described at the point of collection by the bureau asking for the information.
