PRIVACY STATEMENT
Thank you for visiting the Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES (CA BOCES) web site

we collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide
that information to us. We do not give, share, sell, or transfer any personal
information to a third party.
Non-Personal Information We Record
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the web
site, read pages, or download information, our web site's operating system
will automatically record some general information about your visit.
During your visit, our web operating system will record
1. The Internet domain for your internet service, such as "xschool.edu",
if you connect from a school or other educational institution, or "xcompany.com"
if you connect using a private Internet access account.
2. The type of web browser (such as "Netscape version x" or "Internet
Explorer version x") that you are using.
3. The type of operating system that you use (such as Macintosh, Unix,
or Windows).
4. The date and time you visit our site, and the web pages that you visit
on our site.
5. The address of the previous web site you were visiting, if you linked
to us from another web site.
We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our
site more useful to visitors. Our system does not record personal information
about individuals.
Information from E-mail You Send to Us
If you decide to send us an electronic mail message (e-mail), the message
will usually contain your return e-mail address. If you include personally-identifying
information in your e-mail because you want us to address issues specific
to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your question.Please
be aware that most e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception.
Please send only information necessary to help us respond to your question.
Information Collected from Interactive Forms
We ask you to voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail
address, name, occupation, etc.) on our question submission form. That
information is used solely to help us answer your question as best we
can, or (rarely) to contact you if we have technical problems responding
to your question. The information is not made available to any third party.
Site Security and Intrusion Detection
For security purposes and to make sure this service remains available
to all users, our web operating system collects information that could
help identify someone making unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise damage this website.
Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, we make no other
attempts to identify individual users or their usage habits. We only use
raw monitoring data logs for determining trends in usage patterns and
in diagnosing systems problems.
Network Monitoring by Technical Staff
In the course of receiving assistance from the SchoolTools.us staff we
may view your SchoolTools.us content. During the time of such viewing
our technical support staff may gain access to that information via an
Altiris network management system. We will make every attempt to notify
you if this occurs.

site, but SchoolTools.us does provide links to other web sites. When you
