DCE Privacy Policy

The Virginia Department of Correctional Education takes your online privacy very seriously. Therefore, no information collected on this website is disclosed outside of DCE unless required by law.

We collect personally identifiable information on this website in the following ways:

The DCE Volunteer Form: We use information collected via the Volunteer Form to send you information about how the DCE volunteer program works, and how to actually sign-up to be a volunteer.
Emails to the Webmaster: All emails to the webmaster are directed to the appropriate individual within the Department of Correctional Education.

Like most web sites, the following non-personally identifiable information is collected automatically when you visit our site:

visitor's IP address (for a count of unique visitors)
pages visited and time viewed (for statistical analysis only)

Non-personally identifiable information is collected for statistical and usage analysis only. Once again, no collected information is disclosed outside of the Department of Correctional Education unless required by law. The Virginia Department of Correctional Education reserves the right to modify this privacy statement without notice. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Log Files

In almost all cases, when you go to a web site, a web server logs your interaction with the site in something called a "log file". Standard log files like ours contain basic information like what time pages were viewed and the IP address of the visitor. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We make no effort to identify IP addresses with individual users.

We DO NOT share log file information with anyone outside of the Department of Correctional Education unless required by law.
