1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information from you when you submit it to the Site. The following list includes the most common ways that you may provide your personal information to us:

  • Automatically Collected Data: We automatically collect and store IP addresses and domain names of visitors’ computers.  We also track the number, frequency, and length of visits to each page, as well as device and browser type. If you visit our website from another website, we may also identify that source link.  Automatically collected data is used to determine which sections of our website are most visited and by whom, to make our website a more helpful and useful resource.

  • Registration: We do not require you to register or provide any personal information to access or use most areas of the Site. However, you may choose to subscribe to certain newsletters distributed by Commissioner Thomas-Davis or to join our mailing list, which may require you to enter certain personal information, including name, email addresses, phone number, and other information submitted through contact forms. If you have any questions about modifying or deleting your information, you can contact us directly at 1A06@anc.dc.gov.

  • Communications between you and Commissioner Thomas-Davis: As described in this Policy, you may contact Commissioner Thomas-Davis’s office or subscribe to newsletters and other mailings, and Commissioner Thomas-Davis or commission staff may respond to your inquiries or requests for mailings.  Additionally, when you provide us with your email address and mailing address, we may contact you to ask you to subscribe to ANC 1A’s mailing list, too. You can choose not to receive such requests by emailing 1A06@anc.dc.gov.

  • Protecting Your Personal Information: We implement and enforce reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use.

If we become aware that personal information under our control has been compromised due to a security breach, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the incident and, where needed, notify individuals whose information may have been affected, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
