Information
which can be identified or associated with a particular
person or persons that is available from government
web sites through the Information Network of Arkansas
is subject to these principles and policies:
- The
Arkansas government has information about individuals,
or which can be identified or associated with a particular
individual, and this information is contained in the
public records of the Arkansas state and local government.
The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act addresses
the type of government information which is available
to the public. See Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105.
Information generally available under the Arkansas
Freedom of Information Act and not made confidential
elsewhere in the Arkansas Code or by federal law may
be posted for electronic access through the Information
Network of Arkansas.
- The
Arkansas Freedom of Information Act recognizes many
concerns people have with regard to public records
that include information about them, including the
right to correct inaccurate information. Consequently,
persons concerned with regard to information about
them should contact the custodian of the record, which
typically is the state agency or other governmental
entity that collects and maintains the information.
Information
which can be identified or associated with a particular
person or persons that is collected by government web
sites through the Information Network of Arkansas is
subject to these principles and policies:
- The information collected should only be that necessary
to provide the information or services sought by the
requester, just as a person might provide such information
when visiting a governmental office in person. The
information collected is subject to the same controls
and uses as that collected by governmental offices
visited in person, again subject to the access and
confidentiality provisions of the Arkansas Freedom
of Information Act, Ark Code Ann., §§ 25-19-101
through 25-19-107, or to other applicable sections
of the Arkansas Code. You do not have to provide personal
information to visit the network’s Web sites
or download this information.
- The IP (Internet Protocol) numbers of computers
used to visit [network] sites are noted as part of
our statistical analysis on use of our web sites and
how to better design services and facilitate access
to them. No marketing databases are created nor is
any commercial use made of any such data. Government
agencies may request personally identifiable information
from you in order to provide requested services, but
such information is handled as it would be on an in-person
visit to a government office.
- Various commercial Web sites may be linked through
the network. These private sector sites are not subject
to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. Visitors
to those sites may wish to check their privacy statements
and be cautious about providing personally identifiable
information.
