Information that we collect at this site may be public information under Oregon law; and we may be required to disclose it in a legal action if we receive a subpoena or court order to disclose.
Oregon has laws to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access certain government records and information. Both state and federal law make exceptions to public access, including exceptions respecting a person’s privacy and personal information.
"Personal information" is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that person, such as name, address, and telephone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol (IP) address is not considered personal information. Personal information may be exempt from disclosure if disclosure would unreasonably invade the person’s privacy under the circumstances. State law permits you to request that public officials not disclose your personal home address, telephone number, or email address contained in a public record under certain circumstances. ORS 192.445 specifies how to make that request.
Oregon state government works to protect the security of your information and uses a variety of security technologies and procedures (Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, encryption, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. The state's eCommerce system reveals only the last four digits of your credit card information when confirming or referencing a transaction. When transmitting your credit card information to the appropriate credit card company during order processing, the state uses Payment Card Industry (PCI) certified best practices, following payment application data security standards (PA-DSS), methods, and processes.
