Thank you for visiting the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) Web site and reviewing our privacy policy. Our policy is simple: We collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do not give, share, sell, or transfer any personal information to a third party.
Some of our web pages (such as on-line publication order forms, conference and training registration forms, web discussion forums) let you voluntarily submit personal information. In those cases, we will provide a specific notice before you begin submitting any personal information, explaining how your information will be safeguarded CSOSA.
If you want to know more about how we record non-personal information about your visit or how we use information that you voluntarily submit, read on.
Otherwise, enjoy your visit!

Non-personal Information We Record
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the Web site, read pages, or download information, our Web site's operating system will automatically record some general information about your visit.
During your visit, our Web operating system will record:
We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. This tracking system does not record information about individuals.
On certain CSOSA web pages, we use "cookies" to help you use our web sites interactively. A cookie is a small file that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard disk, usually to keep track of you while you are connected to that site.
The cookies on CSOSA Web pages do not collect information about you, but only about your browser "session." The cookie makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of these Web pages, without having to provide the same information again as you move from one page to another.
To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a web site that uses cookies. If you are concerned about the potential use of information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings that let you identify and/or reject cookies.
Information from E-mail You Send to Us
If you decide to send us an electronic mail message (e-mail), the message will usually contain your return e-mail address. If you include personally-identifying information in your e-mail because you want us to address issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your request. In other limited circumstances, including requests from Congress or limited other parties, we may be required by law to disclose information that you submit.
Also, e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. Please send only information necessary to help us process your request.
Information Collected from Interactive Forms
On some of our Web pages we offer interactive forms that let you voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail address, name, or organization). This occurs when you are registering for various conferences, workshops, or training sessions offered by CSOSA, taking student aid counseling quizzes, ordering publications from CSOSA Pubs, or submitting comments to various web discussion forums. In those cases, all submitted information is used only for the expressed purposes for which it is intended and is not made available to any third party. However, when you submit a comment to an CSOSA web discussion forum, if you supply your name, e-mail address, or other personal information, that information is posted along with your comment.
Our policy discloses the privacy practices for the CSOSA web site. But CSOSA provides links to other web sites. When you leave the CSOSA Web site (www.csosa.gov), you will be going to sites that are beyond our control. We try to ensure that links that leave our site are clearly labeled, usually with a Disclaimer icon. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. The privacy policies and procedures described here for CSOSA do not apply to any external links. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you link to from ours, especially if you share any personal information. Be informed. You are the person best qualified to protect your own privacy.
If you have any questions or comments about the information presented here, please forward them to us: webmaster@csosa.fed.us
