Privacy Policy

  1. The Library and Archives web servers capture information about web requests in a standard log file. This information includes the IP address from which the request originated, Internet domain, the date and time of the request, and the webpage requested. The log may include some additional information, such as the referring webpage. We use this information to generate statistics on the number of individuals who visit our website and the total number of webpages viewed.
  2. The Library and Archives may request information voluntarily to provide certain services, such as registration for an event, or your email address so that we can respond to you.
  3. The Library and Archives may ask for your library card number or your zip code and county. We collect this information to limit access to licensed content purchased for specific audiences in the state.
  4. The Library and Archives website may use cookies to provide a user with greater continuity when browsing. Cookies do not contain personally identifying information.
  5. The Library and Archives does not specifically request information from children. As a State agency we must comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Policy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), requiring parental consent before collecting any personal information from an individual under the age of 13. The text of COPPA is available at http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.

Personal Information in Library and Archives Collections

The Library and Archives is actively digitizing collections of historical records and publications so that they can be accessed over the web. These materials are of interest to genealogists, historians, and many others. Library and Archives reviews collections before they are put on the web to ensure they do not contain personally identifying information, such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, or other information that could be used in identity theft.

Because we are not able to review each record individually, it is possible that personally identifying information in isolated records are available on the web. If you find personally identifying information in a record, please contact the appropriate branch.

Release of Personal Information

Arizona laws ensure that state government is open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records and information possessed by the state. As such, the Library and Archives may be obliged to release records containing information we have collected within the limits of state law and the federal Privacy Act of 1974.
