PRIVACY NOTICE
Scope
City of Detroit maintains its web site as a public service. The following is the privacy policy regarding the site, the collection and use of information.
City of Detroit collects information from you under the following two circumstances:
- Information Collected Automatically - Some information is collected from you automatically when you view City of Detroit 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 City of Detroit's site, the pages you requested and visited, and the site you linked from to reach City of Detroit. City of Detroit 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:
a. fulfill a request for on-line services or
b. choose to personalize the site (register for a City of Detroit account).
City of Detroit 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, social security or federal identification number, credit card number and expiration date, and/or driver license number. If you simply wish to view pages on City of Detroit's site, or conduct transactions, you do not need to personalize the site by registering for an account.

- 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
