Privacy Policy
Scope
Sussex County maintains this web site as a public service. The following is the privacy policy regarding
this site.
The Collection and Use of Information
Sussex County collects information from you under the following two circumstances:
- Information Collected Automatically - Some information is collected from you automatically when you view Sussex County
pages and download information. This may include your Internet Protocol address assigned by your Internet
Service Provider, domain name and the type of browser and operating system you used, the date and time you accessed
the Sussex County's site, the pages you requested and visited, and the site you linked from to reach the county.
Sussex County uses this type of information to statistically measure site traffic and to improve the
web site. The information is not reviewed on an individual basis but is aggregated with other users for comparison
purposes.
- Information Voluntarily Submitted - Additional information may be collected from you if you opt-in or
voluntarily provide it in order to fulfill a request for on-line services or choose to personalize the site
(register for a Sussex County account). Sussex County uses the information you voluntarily provide to tailor
our site to your needs and preferences and to provide the on-line services you are requesting. The type of information
we collect will vary with the service being sought and may include your name, address, phone number, e-mail address.
If you simply wish to view pages on Sussex County's site, you do not need to personalize the site by registering
for an account.
Cookies
In order to customize your browsing experience, Sussex County may use "cookies".
Cookies allow information to change as you navigate through the pages of a web site.
Two types of cookies can be used, "session-only" and "persistent". Sussex County uses
cookies in the following ways:
- If you wish to access information but do not want to personalize the site, Sussex
County uses session-only cookies to reserve some storage on your computer in order to
take your query and pass it along to the page that will serve up the information you
request. The session-only cookies are erased either during web browser operation or
after your web browser is shut down.
- If you choose to register with Sussex County to personalize the site and wish to be
remembered, Sussex County uses permanent cookies that remain on your computer's hard
drive as small text files. These permanent cookies allow Sussex County to
recognize you when you return to our site. When you register with Sussex County,
we ask you to identify yourself by your name and email address. This allows Sussex County
to customize the presentation of information for you based upon what you have
asked for and/or voluntarily provided during previous visits. Sussex County only uses
permanent cookies that store personal information with the permission of the user.
Note: If you choose to register with Sussex County to personalize the site but do not wish to
be remembered, Sussex County uses session cookies that are destroyed when you close your
browser.
Sussex County has links to other web sites outside of our local government. When you link
to one of these sites, Sussex County cannot control their use of cookies and this privacy
policy will not apply.

If you choose to do so, you can configure your browser to notify you when a new cookie is
received. You can also prevent your browser from accepting any new cookies, view and delete
existing cookies or disable cookies altogether.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Sussex County will only send personal information about you to others when: we have your consent to share the
information; or we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; or we
are authorized or obligated to do so by law (e.g., to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, or to
requests pursuant to a statute requiring or permitting disclosure such as the Freedom of Information Act.)
Editing and Deleting Your Information
You will be able to edit your Sussex County account information and preferences at any time. You may delete
your Sussex County account by accessing the "Update My Profile" button and selecting "Delete Profile".
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Sussex County may amend this policy from time to time. Sussex County will prominently display on this
website any substantial change in the way we use your personal information.
