any kind, and is subject to the following disclaimers:
- ACCURACY, CHANGES AND CONTINUITY OF SERVICE
Utah County Government (the County) tries to ensure that the information

to factors beyond the control of the County, however, it cannot guarantee
against unauthorized modification of information or errors made in inputting
and posting data. The County may make changes to a web page at any time
to update, add or correct the information made available. The County
may elect to charge a fee for accessing or using information from the
County's computer system, or may suspend or discontinue making the information
available.
- NO WARRANTIES
The County disclaims any express or implied warranties related to making
its computer system available for public use, and for any materials,
information, graphics, products, or processes contained within its computer
system. It makes no warranty, express or implied, nor assumes any responsibility
for the use of information on the County's website or computer system,
or for the computer system's fitness for any general or particular purpose.
Nor does the County warrant that the use of information on the County's
system will not infringe or violate the rights of others. The public
is granted access to information on the County's computer system on
a strictly "as is" basis. The County denies responsibility
for the conduct of its users.

County computer resources and materials may contain hypertext or other
links to external Internet sites. These are provided only for your convenience.
Any information, materials, personal opinions, or endorsements of products
or services appearing on external sites are not controlled, sponsored,
or approved by the County. The County disclaims legal responsibility
for any information, materials or services made available on external
sites, and for the personal opinions of individuals posted on any site,
regardless of whether the County operates the site, unless the personal
opinions are official opinions issued by members of Utah County government.
No other sections of this disclaimer statement are applicable to external
sites beyond the control of the County.
- COPYRIGHT LIMITATIONS
The County has made the content of certain pages of its website available
to the public. Anyone may view, copy or distribute information found

an obligation to the County if the documents are not modified in any
respect, and unless otherwise stated on the particular materials or
information to which a restriction on free use applies. The County makes
no warranty, however, that the materials contained within these pages
are free from copyright claims, or other restrictions or limitations
on free use or display. The County disclaims any liability for the improper
or incorrect use of information obtained from its website.
- ASSUMPTION OF RISK OF USE
One who uses the information available for public use on the County's
computer system assumes the risk of using or relying on such information.
Neither the County, its employees nor its agents shall be liable for
any damages, including indirect, special, incidental, or consequential

- MONITORING AND PROTECTING THE SYSTEM FROM
INTRUSION
All County computer systems are subject to monitoring to assure proper
functioning of the system and to provide security for the computer system's
operation. By using the computer systems you are consenting to the exercise

PRIVACY POLICY
- PURPOSE
The purpose of the statement is to inform users of this site with regard
to the collection and use of personally identifiable information.
- DEFINITION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
For the purposes of this statement "personally identifiable information"
means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual
who is the subject of the information.
- PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION NOT ROUTINELY
COLLECTED
Citizens do not have to routinely provide personal information to visit
Utah County sites or to download information. Government agencies may
request personally identifiable information from you in order to provide
requested specialized services, but such information is handled as it
would be on an in-person visit to a government office.
- PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION AVAILABLE
FROM GOVERNMENTAL WEB SITES
Access to personally identifiable information
in public records at state and local levels of government in Utah is
controlled primarily by Chapter 2, Title 63 of the Utah Code, entitled
the Government Records Access and Management Act. Information that is
generally available under Chapter 2 - and not made confidential elsewhere
in the Utah Code - may be posted for electronic access through www.utahcounty.gov.
While Chapter 2 sets the general policies for access to government records
in the state of Utah, other sections of the Utah Code as well as other
federal laws also deal with confidentiality issues.
The IP (Internet Protocol) numbers of computers (servers) used to visit
this site are noted as part of our statistical analysis on use of our
website so we may better design services and improve access to them.
However, the site does not attempt to gain personally identifiable information
on individual users and associate them with IP addresses.
- USE OF CONSTITUENT E-MAIL ADDRESSES
E-mail addresses obtained as a result of a request to the County site
will not be sold nor given to private companies for marketing purposes.
The information collected is subject to the access and confidentiality
provisions of Chapter 2, other applicable sections of the Utah Code
or federal law. E-mail or other information requests sent to the County
website may be maintained in order to respond to the request, forward
that request to the appropriate agency, communicate updates to the County
page that may be of interest to citizens, or to provide the County web
designer with valuable customer feedback to assist in improving the
site.
- NON COUNTY WEB SITES
Various websites may be linked through www.utahcounty.gov. Many
of these sites, including private sector sites, are not subject to Chapter
2 and may also not be subject to other sections of the Utah Code or
federal law. Visitors to those sites are advised to check the privacy
statements of those sites and be cautious about providing personally
identifiable information without a clear understanding of how the information
will be used. Visitors may also want to consult privacy guidelines such
as those recommended by the Online
Privacy Alliance.
