Thank you for visiting BradleyAirport.com - the official web site for Bradley International
Airport. BradleyAirport.com is committed to protecting your privacy and to making
your on-line experience enjoyable, secure, comfortable, and valuable.
I. Privacy Policy
The policy of BradleyAirport.com is to respect and protect the privacy of our website
users, consistent with the applicable laws of the United States and the State of
Connecticut, including the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act and the Connecticut
Personal Data Act. We do not collect, use or disclose any information about our
users without their knowledge and approval. We do not share user information with
third parties unless we have informed users about the disclosures or when we have
prior consent.
Visitors should be aware that Bradley International Airport, operated by the Connecticut
Department of Transportation, could be required to disclose personal information
in response to valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court
order, pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act. All record keepers
face the possibility that disclosure of their records may be compelled in some civil,
criminal, or administrative matters. Disclosures may also be necessary to protect
Bradley International Airport’s legal rights or during emergencies if physical safety
is believed to be at risk. We think that these events are unlikely, but they are
possible.
II. Policy Revision and Notification of Changes
Bradley International Airport will update this policy as new services and features
are added. We will tell our users about policy changes through notices on this page,
which will always contain a version number and date. Any information collected under
the current policy will remain subject to these terms. Information collected after
any changes take effect will be subject to the revised privacy policy.
What information about users does Bradley International Airport collect?
A. Automatic Information
The following information is collected and stored automatically from all users accessing
the BradleyAirport.com web site(s) to browse or download information:
- The Internet domain and Internet Protocol address from which you access our site;
- The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The pages you visit;
- The link, if any, from which you reached BradleyAirport.com
This information is used to create summary statistics, which are used for purposes
such as assessing what information is of most interest to users, determining technical
design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. This
information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable
information, and will not be released to any outside (third) parties unless legally
required.
B. Personal Information You Provide to Us
BradleyAirport.com does not retain personally identifiable information about you
when you visit our web site(s) unless you choose to provide such information to
us (i.e. sending an e-mail, participating in a survey, responding to a feedback
or "contact us" form, etc.)
We consider any information that could reasonably be used to identify you as "personally
identifying information." This includes, but is not limited to:
- Your name
- Your address
- Your e-mail address
- Your Social Security number
- Your password
- Bank account information
- Credit card information
- Any combination of data that could be used to identify you such as your birth date,
your zip code and your gender.
Connecticut state government agencies, organizations and institutions may request
personally identifiable information from you in order to provide requested services,
but such information is handled as it would be on an in-person visit to that same
agency, organization or institution. If personal information is requested on the
web site or volunteered by the user, state law and the United States 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.
III. E-Mail Communications and Web Forms
If you send us an electronic mail message with a question or comment that contains
personally identifying information, or fill out a form that e-mails us information,
we will only use this personally identifying information to respond to your request.
We may redirect your message to another government agency or person who is in a
better position to answer your question.
All e-mail messages collected by BradleyAirport.com contain the e-mail addresses
of persons who voluntarily communicated with or requested information from us. E-mail
addresses are not sold, leased or shared with any governmental or commercial entities
without the user's consent. When a user has given us their e-mail address for communication
purposes, or requesting information, that communication becomes part of the public
record and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by federal
or state law.
Does BradleyAirport.com use cookies to collect information about a user?
We do not use cookies to retain information on the BradleyAirport.com site. A cookie
is a text file, not a program, which is sent to your computer when you access a
site. Cookies do not disclose your name or e-mail address to a web site. They can
only tell a web site if you have visited before and can pass short bits of information
from the web site back to itself the next time you visit.
Does Bradley International Airport share the information it receives with anyone?
Except as provided by applicable state and federal laws, we do not collect, use
or disclose user information without the user’s knowledge and approval. We do not
share user information with third parties unless we have informed users about the
disclosures or have prior consent. In addition, all Bradley International Airport
contractors must comply with this policy.
Can I access and correct my personal information?
Persons concerned about information contained in their personal records should contact
the custodian of the record, which typically is the state agency or other governmental
entity that collects and maintains the information. BradleyAirport.com does not
collect any personally identifiable information other than what you provide in your
e-mail correspondence. The automatic data recorded is not matched with any of that
personally identifiable information. Therefore, information cannot be provided about
your visit.
Do I have a choice about whether or not my personal information is provided
to others?
BradleyAirport.com does not obtain personally identifiable information about you
whenyou visit our web sites unless you choose to provide such information to us
(i.e. sending an e-mail, participating in a survey, responding to a feedback or
"contact us" form, etc.). We do not disclose, sell, lease or provide any personal
information about our users to any other government or commercial entity for any
purpose. There may be instances where we send ongoing updates or announcements to
interested parties. In such cases, visitors will have the choice whether or not
to receive these updates or announcements. However, it is important to understand
that under applicable state and federal law, various forms of correspondence and
other communications may be subject to public disclosure.
IV. Commitment to Security
The Department of Information Technology, which manages the computers that support
BradleyAirport.com, has put into place appropriate safeguards to ensure that any
personal information is secure from destruction, corruption, unauthorized access
and breach of confidentiality. This effort includes an ongoing review of safety
measures, implementation of changes, and regular training for their personnel.
