The Piqua Shawnee Tribe of Alabama (“we,” “us,” or “the Tribe”) operates the website piquashawnee.gov (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information you provide when you visit the Site or communicate with the Tribal office.
Information We Collect
We collect two general categories of information:
- Information you provide directly — for example, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and the contents of messages you submit through the Contact page or the Citizens Portal.
- Information collected automatically — basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit on the Site, the date and time of your visit, and the referring website. This information is used in aggregate to maintain the Site and improve its usability.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide tribal services.
- To administer citizen enrollment and communications.
- To maintain, operate, and secure the Site.
- To comply with applicable law and lawful requests from government authorities.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, maintain session state, and gather aggregated analytics. You may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; if you do so, some parts of the Site may not function as intended.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please reach out through the Contact page and we will take steps to delete that information.
Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including federal and state agency sites and partner organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No system of safeguards is perfect, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to the Tribe by contacting the Tribal office. Citizens of the Tribe may also exercise these rights through the Enrolled Citizens Portal.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
