Personal Information and Choice
The Shoreline Community College web site is a general
audience site and we do not knowingly collect any personal information
from children. Users are cautioned that the collection of personal
information requested from or volunteered by children on-line or
by email will be treated the same as information given by an adult,
and may be subject to public access.
You
may choose whether to provide personal information online.
Personal
information is information about a natural person that is readily
identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information
includes such things as an individual's name, address, and phone
number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered
personal information.
We collect
no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide
it to us by sending us e-mail, participating in a survey, or
completing an on-line form. You may choose not to contact us
by e-mail, participate in a survey or to provide any personal
information using an online form. Your choice to not participate
in these activities will not impair your ability to browse the
Shoreline Community College's web site and read or download any
information provided on the site. If you choose to not
use e-mail and online services from the registration and bookstore
site you will have to supply that information in person or by
mail.
If personal
information is requested on the Web site or volunteered by the
user, state law and the federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect
it. However, this information is a public record once you provide
it, and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not
protected by federal or state law.
If you
believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose
other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact
the Public Records Officer as noted at the end of this information. Users
are cautioned that the collection of personal information requested
from or volunteered by children online or by e-mail will be treated
the same as information given by an adult, and may be subject
to public access.

Public Access to Information
In the
State Of Washington, laws exist to ensure that government is
open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records
and information possessed by state government. At the same time,
there are exceptions to the public's right to access public records
that serve various needs including the privacy of individuals.
Exceptions are provided by both state and federal laws.
All
of the information collected at this site becomes public records
that may be subject to inspection and copying by members of the
public, unless an exemption in law exists. Statue RCW
42.17. 260(1) states that:
Each
agency, in accordance with published rules, shall make available
for public inspection and copying all public records, unless
the record falls within the specific exemptions of subsection
(6) of this section [RCW 42.17.260(6)], RCW 42.17.310, 42.17.315,
or other statute which exempts or prohibits disclosure of specific
information or records. To the extent required to prevent an
unreasonable invasion of personal privacy interests protected
by RCW 42.17.310 and 42.17.315, an agency shall delete identifying
details in a manner consistent with RCW 42.17.310 and 42.17.315
when it makes available or publishes any public record; however,
in each case, the justification for the deletion shall be explained
fully in writing.
In the
event of a conflict between this Privacy Notice and the Public
Records Act or other law governing the agency’s disclosure
of records, the Public Records Act or other applicable law will
control.
