Privacy & Cookies

This Policy describes how the Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (“DCA”) (“our”, “we” or “us”) collects data from you when you use our website and how it uses this personal data.

Our Policy focuses on Personal Information — information about you that is personally identifiable, such as contact information (e.g., name, telephone, address, email address) and any other nonpublic information that is associated with such information (collectively, “Personal Information”). Please read this policy carefully to understand what we do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us as described at the end of this Policy.

We collect two types of information: (1) information we receive from you about you and (2) information that we collect through your use of this website.

Information You Provide to Us

When you ask a question of or submit a comment to DCA via our “Contact Us” feature or join our mailing list, you may be asked to provide your name and either a telephone number or email address to allow us to respond to you. You will be asked to provide your name and email address if you would like to join our mailing list. If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of the website.

Information We Collect Through Your Use of the Website

You also provide us information in other ways, such as via your browser’s cookies or through similar technologies when you use or view our website. Cookies are text files placed on your computer to allow us to facilitate an ongoing internet interaction. Cookies do not compromise your privacy or security and only last until you close your browser. Using web browser settings, you can refuse the cookies or delete the cookie file from your computer.

When you visit our website, transaction log information is also collected, which includes your domain name or Internet Protocol address, browser software used, requests submitted to our web servers, date and time the website was accessed and statistical information about which webpages you visited. We use these tools to improve the quality of our website including for storing user preferences and tracking user trends. The site will measure visitor analytics at an aggregate level (e.g., counts of visits, ranking of top pages visited, etc.) and will use cookies to track. No individual user data will be reported or identifiable.

DCA does not track its visitors over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, most web browsers will allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.

We will not sell or distribute your Personal Information to third parties. We may share your Personal Information in limited circumstances, such as to conduct our business, when legally required or with your consent.

We may use your Personal Information for the following purposes (subject to applicable legal restrictions):

• To provide you with the information on the website.
• To create aggregate statistics relating to the use of the website (e.g., count of visits, ranking of top pages visited, etc.).
• To respond to the comments or questions that you submit to us.
• To send DCA information to you, if you opt in to our mailing list.
• For any other purpose for which you give us authorization.

We may also disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide (subject to applicable legal restrictions) as follows:

• To contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
• As required by law, which can include providing information as required by statute, regulation, subpoena, court order, legal process or government request.
• For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.

We use industry standard physical, technical and administrative security measures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information. Our website is operated and managed on servers located and operated within the United States. By using and viewing the website, you agree and consent to the transfer to and processing of Personal Information on servers located in the United States, even if you travel or are located outside the United States.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the DCA website. The website also contains links to third-party sites that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. DCA does not share Personal Information with those other sites or services. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the DCA website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personal information.

We will maintain your Personal Information for two (2) years after your last visit to our website.

The DCA regularly reviews its Privacy Policy. We will post any revised version of the Privacy Policy on this webpage.

You may also request that we delete Personal Information about you. You may request this information or ask that we delete your Personal Information by contacting us at the email or mailing address below. You may complain to a regulator.
