We do not collect personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us in ways which are clearly understandable, such as by using as automated bill pay, sports and recreation, business licensing.

We collect limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available automatically whenever you visit a website. This information includes the following information:

The visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address
Domain name if applicable
Date and time of access
The Internet browser used (such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, Internet Explorer)
Computer/device type
Referring web page (the last webpage you visited before clicking on a link to our site)
And which of our web pages and our website content the visitor interacts with
The website does not attempt to gain personally identifiable information on individual users and associate them with IP addresses.

We may also collect personally identifiable information on web pages where citizens and other visitors seek information or specialized City services. The City takes reasonable steps to prevent hackers and others from accessing or obtaining this data, and to allow opportunity to individuals to correct information about themselves, but we can't guarantee that the information will not be disclosed or released in some manner. Access to personally identifiable information in public records of cities in Utah is controlled primarily by the Utah open records law, which is called the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), Utah Code Section 63G-2-101 and following sections, which sets the terms of public access to government-held records, and provides protections of information and records about individuals. GRAMA balances the need to keep private information from disclosure against the need for the public to know such information. Certain individual information has been classified as private under GRAMA, such as home address, home phone, personal cell phone numbers, Social Security numbers, drivers' license numbers and dates of birth in most but not all situations, individual financial and medical information, and similar personally identifying information. GRAMA provides that in some situations where the public's need to know outweighs the privacy interest, private information may be disclosed to a person making a request, and such private information about an individual could be made public.

Some of our online services require you to register for an account. We ask you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address and a password for your account), and we use that information to provide service. For certain services, such as our online payment system, we may request credit card or other payment information which may be stored temporarily in encrypted form on secure servers.

We do not sell or share individually identifiable citizen information to external entities for the purpose of external marketing or promotion except as required by law or court order, unless otherwise stated at appropriate parts of our website. However, such data and contact information may be shared interdepartmentally within Sandy City and with third-party agents with which the City has contracted to perform City services for it, in which cases we take reasonable efforts to protect the data from use contrary to this privacy statement.

By providing your contact information to us through this website or otherwise, be aware that the City uses emails, and may use other contact information to communicate with residents, businesses, and others in our database of contacts during emergencies, as explained below. Some of the emails you receive from us may not be applicable to your circumstances, as we may send an email about a neighborhood or issue not relevant to you.
