How we Collect and Use Information

Personally Identifiable Information Submitted by You for Requesting Information and Providing Feedback

You are not required to register or enroll in ClearWay Minnesota or to otherwise give us personally identifiable information (information that allows people to identify you) in order to use the Site or view Site Content. We only receive and use personal information that you voluntarily provide. For example, you may use the Contact Us form to submit your name, e-mail and mailing address to request materials or information about ClearWay Minnesota’s services or to provide feedback. If you choose to provide personally identifiable information to us in these ways, ClearWay Minnesota uses that information to fulfill your requests for information, to distribute materials to you, and for such other purposes as you may initiate or request. We may keep your personal information on file and use it to contact you.

ClearWay Minnesota does not sell, rent or lease any personally identifiable data collected on this Site to third parties for their direct marketing or other purposes.

We may disclose your personally identifiable information to third party vendors engaged by ClearWay Minnesota to help manage our Site or fulfill your requests. In these cases, we require such vendors to restrict their use of such information to the intended purposes. ClearWay Minnesota may disclose your personal information to comply with any legal obligation, to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or to protect our rights or those of other parties. In addition, we may need to, and reserve the right to, disclose or transfer personally identifiable information to third parties in connection with selling, liquidating or dissolving any part of our organization or assets.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may collect certain standard internet log information that you do not visibly enter, such as your IP address, browser type and click stream data.

In addition, in order to manage and improve our Site, we or our service providers may use cookies (small packets of information that are stored by your web browser) or web beacons (electronic images that allow us to count visitors who have accessed a webpage). For general (non-enrolled) users of the Site, these tools do not identify you personally and allow us to track and analyze aggregated usage data about our Site and to improve or customize your experience, for example by saving your language preference.   This information may be shared on an anonymous aggregated basis.  You may choose to block or disable cookies from your device using your browser settings or options.  However, this may impact your user experience and parts of the Site may not work for you.

Do not Track Disclosure

This Site does not monitor for or behave differently if your computer transits a “do not Track” or similar beacon or message.

Servers Located in United States

Clearway Minnesota and the servers and other technology supporting the operations of this Site are located in the United States.  The Site is intended exclusively for a U.S. (and specifically Minnesota) audience and users.  If you submit any personal information to this Site (for example, if you provide your email in order to request materials) you understand that you are voluntarily consenting to the transmission of such information to an organization in the United States and your information will be stored and processed in the United States.  We agree only to be subject to applicable U.S. laws and not to the laws of any other country or region.

Security

For information that ClearWay Minnesota receives from you through this Site (for example, if you request materials or provide feedback as described above), ClearWay Minnesota has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally-identifiable information from loss and misuse. Only authorized ClearWay Minnesota personnel and third party vendors are provided access to personally-identifiable information, and our employees and vendors are required to restrict their use to the intended purposes. Despite these precautions, ClearWay Minnesota, however, cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personally-identifiable information.
