Information visitors provide
If a contact form, correction inbox, or similar feedback channel is enabled, visitors may choose to provide information such as a name, email address, page URL, message text, and links to official sources. Visitors should not submit sensitive personal information unless a future workflow explicitly requires it and explains how it will be handled.
- Do not send Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, payment card numbers, medical records, immigration documents, title numbers, registration numbers, or court records through general feedback channels.
- Correction requests should use public official-source links whenever possible.
- If a visitor voluntarily includes personal information in a message, it may be used to review and respond to that message.

- Operational logs may be used to keep the site secure, diagnose errors, and prevent abuse.
- Analytics, if enabled, may be used to understand which pages are useful and where navigation should improve.
