PRIVACY POLICY


WELCOME

Thank you for visiting the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) website
and reviewing our privacy policy. This website is provided as a public service
and is considered public information, which may be distributed or copied in
accordance with applicable law. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is
requested.


PRIVACY NOTICE

FinCEN's privacy policy is clear: FinCEN respects your privacy. We will collect
no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose
to provide that information to us.

When you visit our site, for site management purposes, we collect information
about your visit on an anonymous, aggregate basis. The information collected
includes: the name of the domain from which you accessed the Internet; the
Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site; and
the date and time you accessed our site. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and
FinCEN use this information to monitor site security, measure site activity, and
to develop ideas for improving site performance. Except for authorized law
enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual
users or their usage habits.           

We will not collect information which identifies you (name, email address,
Social Security number, or other unique identifiers) when you visit our site,
unless you voluntarily choose to provide such information to us in your e-mail
or through other means such as an on-line form. In addition, if you are
commenting on proposed rulemakings or other regulatory actions, your comment
will be available to the general public. Also, if you send us information which
identifies you in an electronic message, that information may be forwarded to
other Government employees and agencies to more fully respond to your
correspondence.            

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) are performed on computer systems and
applications in order to evaluate any risks these systems may pose to personally
identifiable information. FinCEN’s PIAs can be accessed via the PIA
site: https://www.fincen.gov/privacy-impact-assessments


GOOGLE ANALYTICS COLLECTION

When you visit FinCEN.gov, we use Google Analytics, a web measurement service,
to collect, combine, and summarize information about your use of the site. 
Google Analytics collects and analyzes information regarding your browsing
activities using a "cookie" that Google places on your computer.  The Google
Analytics software automatically "anonymizes" (i.e., masks the information so it
cannot be identified with you) any PII by removing the portion of the Internet
Protocol address that could potentially link to your computer or other device to
the individual before the information is sent to Google for analysis.  Google
does not receive any PII from your visit to FinCEN.gov.  Google automatically
receives the anonymized data and immediately combines your data with other
FinCEN.gov visitors' data for analysis.  Neither FinCEN.gov nor Google ever have
access to information regarding the specifics of your browsing activities on the
site.  The cookies expire after you leave FinCEN.gov and they are automatically
deleted from your computer.  This use is "Tier 1" according to OMB M-10-22.

If you navigate to FinCEN.gov solely to read or download information, Google
Analytics collects and stores only the following information in order to deliver
aggregate data to Treasury:

 * The name of your internet domain: (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a
   private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you are connecting
   from a university's domain);
 * Networking: the full Internet Protocol (IP) address (discussed in more detail
   below) assigned to the computer or other device (collectively referred to as
   "device") you used to access the Internet on a particular occasion before you
   visited FinCEN.gov (as stated above, upon collection, the IP address is
   automatically "anonymized" (i.e., masked so the information cannot be
   identified with you) any PII by removing the portion of the Internet Protocol
   address that could potentially link to your computer or other device to the
   individual before the information is sent to Google for analysis;
 * Your internet connection speed;
 * Date/Time of Access: the date and time when you accessed FinCEN.gov;
 * Content: the pages you visited and files you downloaded from FinCEN.gov;
 * Referrer: the IP address of a website that may have referred you (i.e.,
   linked you) to FinCEN.gov; and Device/Browser: technical information about
   the device you used to access FinCEN.gov (e.g., operating system, screen
   resolution and color, Flash/Java support, and language).


GOOGLE ANALYTICS USE

We use information aggregated automatically by Google Analytics to analyze
information for statistical purposes and to manage and improve FinCEN.gov
content. Google does not maintain PII collected from your computer and the
summaries produced by Google do not contain PII.  The summaries contain
statistical information that we use to assess what information is of most
interest to visitors, to identify system performance or problem areas, and to
improve your experience when visiting the site.  For instructions on opting out
of cookies, please see Google's Privacy Policy and How to Opt Out of Google
Cookies.  Treasury maintains and destroys records consisting of information it
collects on FinCEN.gov according to federal records retention policies and
National Archives and Records Administration requirements.  For more information
on Google's retention practices, please see Google Privacy and Terms.
