Your privacy is important to us. This website gathers only information that users provide in webforms, files they choose to upload, and web traffic information needed to guard against malicious activity. This page explains what information we gather and what we do with that information.

Information Collected By the Website

The website collects the information users provide in webforms or file uploads, minimal characteristics of individual site activity needed to identify and block malicious activity, and information to assess web traffic trends at a broad geographic level.

Use of Cookies

The website uses cookies. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer, nor damage your computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies.

Use of Information Collected by the Website

We use both the individual and aggregate information collected by the website. Typically, individual information is limited to information that a site visitor shares with us via webforms and file uploads. This information is used exclusively in the context of investigating and potentially acting on the tip provided. As outlined on the FAQ page, all this information is treated as confidential by the Oversight Project. The Oversight Project will never disclose, withou your consent, your personally identifiable information to a third party unless required to do so by court order or law.

If a visitor's use of the site is malicious, any information they explicitly provide, in addition to any information collected by the website, will be used to eliminate the malicious activity.

Use of aggregate information is limited to analysis of trends across large groups of individuals. For example, the number of website visits by geographic region.

Information Security

The Oversite Project understands the need for user privacy and access to data provided by site visitors is strictly limited. This information can only be accessed by specific individuals who, at minimum, have the necessary username and password combination.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

The Oversight Project reserves the right to change the policy on use of information collected. You may direct any privacy policy questions to [email protected].
