If you choose to provide us with personal information by filling out a form on our contact page or submit an e-mail through our website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested.  We only share the information you give us with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, or as otherwise required by law.  We never create individual profiles or give such information to any private organization.
