The Lower Duwamish Waterway Group (LDWG) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created to demonstrate LDWG’s commitment to the privacy of our website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected and how it is used.
Cookies
LDWG uses Google Analytics to improve your experience with our website. Google Analytics is a third-party service that transmits website traffic data to Google servers. Google Analytics collects audience data such as age, gender, and interests to better understand behavior of users. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. LDWG uses reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand traffic to our website and webpage usage.
LDWG uses a security plugin which collects traffic data in order to increase the security of the site as far as un-authorized logins to the Content Management System.
Embedded content from other websites
Webpages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Visitors linking to another site are encouraged to examine the privacy policy of that site.
Neither LDWG, or any department, officer, or employee of any of the LDWG partners warrants the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of any information published by this system, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or services linked from this system, and shall not be held liable for any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of such information. Portions of such information may be incorrect or not current. Any person or entity that relies on any information obtained from this system does so at his or her own risk.
Public Records Act
In the State Of Washington, Public Disclosure laws exist to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access records and information possessed by a government agency, as appropriate (The Public Records Act or “PRA” RCW 42.56).
The PRA requires the disclosure of public records unless a particular record (or particular information contained in a record) is specifically exempt from public access under the PRA or other applicable law. For example, there is no categorical exemption for residential telephone numbers, residential addresses, or personal e-mail addresses and therefore these data elements may be made public under the PRA. However, the PRA does not require the disclosure of “credit card numbers, debit card numbers, electronic check numbers, card expiration dates, or bank or other financial account numbers supplied to [the agency] for the purpose of electronic transfer of funds, except when disclosure is expressly required by law.”
In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Statement and the Public Records Act or other law governing the disclosure of records, the Public Records Act or other applicable law will determine our obligation. This means LDWG may be required to disclose your information in the event of a Public Disclosure Request; however, we will consider what information may be exempted before responding to a request.
Modifications
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and will provide electronic notice on our website when such changes are made. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notice is posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
