Statement
Thank you for
visiting an International Trade Administration (ITA) web site, an
official site of the U. S. Department of Commerce. ITA promotes
U.S. exports, protects U.S. business interests abroad and
enforces U.S. trade laws. In the course of doing our job we
sometimes are required to collect business or personal
information from our customers. We do not disclose, sell or
transfer any information we collect from this public web site.
However, ITA can only protect the information we collect to the
extent permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Freedom of Information Act of 1966.
We do not collect
or store information that can be used to personally identify
visitors to our web sites without their permission. Our sites do
not use "web bugs" and if we use "persistent
cookies" to improve the functionality of our sites, we will
notify our visitors of their use. Here is how ITA will handle
information we gather about you from your visit:
- Information

Collected from E-Mail, Forms and through Site
Registration: If you send us an email,
information you submit may be viewed by various people
within the International Trade Administration, in an
effort to respond to your request(s). Users are reminded
that email is not necessarily secure against
interception. If your communication is sensitive or
includes personal information, you may want to send it to
us by postal mail instead. If you register on one of our
web sites to obtain a benefit, report a trade complaint
or use any of our services, you may submit identifying
information, such as name, title, name/size of company,
address, phone number, and personal email address.
Certain ITA services are reserved for U.S. firms only and
we may use the registration information to contact you
for verification purposes before allowing access to the
requested ITA service. All information collected from the
public on this site has been authorized by The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as required under
the Paperwork Reduction
Act.
- Security,
Intrusion, and Detection: All data traffic is
monitored in order to identify unauthorized attempts to
upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage
or conduct criminal activity for both site security
purposes and to ensure that this service remains
available to all users. All users are subject to having
all of their activities monitored and recorded by
authorized personnel to protect this web site from
unauthorized use and to ensure that it is functioning
properly. Anyone using this web site expressly consents
to such monitoring and is advised that if there is
evidence of possible abuse or criminal activity, the
results of this monitoring shall be made available to
appropriate officials for possible prosecution.
Unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or
otherwise cause damage to this Web site, are strictly

law.
