This information is collected for statistical analysis using

statistics. The statistics are used for the purpose of determining
what information is of most and least interest to all visitors
and identifying system performance or problem areas in order to
better plan future portal enhancements. This information is not
collected for commercial marketing purposes.
If, during your visit to atlanta-airport.com, you voluntarily
provide personally identifiable information, we will collect such
information. Examples of personally identifiable information may
include:
- Your name, address, or phone number;
- An email address if you are communicating to us through email;

for the purposes of completing or submitting an application

Use
Depending on the specific service or transaction, the City of
Atlanta may share personally identifiable information amongst
its agencies in order to provide such service or complete such
transaction.
Personalization
You may choose or opt to voluntarily provide certain personally
identifiable information in order to customize your visits to
atlanta-airport.com. To personalize your experience, you may be
required to register and create an online profile. Information
required during the registration process will include a user name
(which need not be your legal name), a password and a valid email
address. The combined information will most likely constitute
personally identifiable information. You may review, delete or
modify such profile at any time. If you simply wish to view pages
on atlanta-airport.com, or conduct most transactions, you are
not required to use the personalization features.
Public Disclosure
We will not disclose any personally identifiable information collected
to entities outside of City of Atlanta departments and agencies
except where you have given us permission, or where the information
is public information under the Georgia Open Records Act O.C.G.A.
50-18-70 et seq., or other applicable laws. Visitors should be
aware that information collected through the portal may be subject
to examination and inspection, if such information is a public
record, or not otherwise protected from disclosure.
Cookies
The atlanta-airport.com portal may occasionally use "cookies"
to customize your browsing experience. Cookies are simple text
files stored by your web browser and they provide a method of
distinguishing among visitors to the websites, and allowing customized
features such as a "shopping cart" feature for online
purchasing. Cookies created on your computer by using our websites
do not contain personally identifiable information and do not
compromise your privacy or security. You can refuse the cookie
or delete the cookie file from your computer at any time by using
any one of a number of widely available methods.
Security
Several tools, policies and protocols are used to safeguard the
submission of information through the portal. Security measures
have been integrated into the design, implementation and day-to-day
operations of the entire operating environment as part of our
continuing commitment to the security of electronic content as
well as the electronic transmission of information.
For services requiring online financial transactions, atlanta-airport.com
uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protocol to safeguard
your sensitive personal information, including your credit card
number. Information is encrypted from your computer to the portal
computer processing your request.
In order to further secure your privacy, do not divulge any passwords
or sensitive information (e.g. credit card number) to anyone in
a phone call or email. When you are finished with those applications
that are password protected or required the input of your credit
card information, it is always recommended that you close or otherwise
exit the browser page.
E-mail
E-mail is not a secure form of transmission. As such, atlanta-airport.com
does not recommend that you submit sensitive or personally identifiable
information via e-mail. If you choose to provide us with personal
information in an e-mail we may use the email and the information
contained within it to improve our service to you or to respond
to your request. Sometimes, we forward your email to other City
employees who may be better able to help you, and this staff may
be employed by a different agency within the City. Except for
authorized law enforcement investigations or as required by law,
we do not share our e-mail with any other organizations outside
of the public sector.
