Information (PII) collected via this website. Our privacy policy explains our
information practices when you provide PII to us, whether collected online or offline,
or when you visit us online to browse, obtain information, or conduct a transaction.
PII may include: your name, email, mailing and/or home address, phone numbers, or
other information that identifies you personally. We do not require you to register or

Personally Identifiable Information
As a general rule, the Department does not collect PII about you when you visit our
website, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Submitting PII through
our website is voluntary. By doing so, you are giving the Department your permission
to use the information for the stated purpose. However, not providing certain
information may result in the Department’s inability to provide you with the service
you desire.
If you choose to provide us with PII on a Department website, through such methods
as completing a web form or sending us an email, we will use that information to help
us provide you the information or service you have requested or to respond to your
message. The information we may receive from you varies based on what you do
when visiting our site.
Generally, the information requested by the Department will be used to respond to
your inquiry or to provide you with the service you request. When this information is
requested, the reasons for collecting it, a description of the Department’s intended
use of the information, how to grant consent to use mandatorily provided information,
and how to grant consent for other than statutorily mandated uses will be fully
described in a separate customized “Privacy Notice.” This customized Privacy Notice
will either appear on the web page collecting the information or be accessible
