CITY OF CHICAGO ON-LINE PRIVACY POLICY
Introduction
The City of Chicago is committed to maintaining your online privacy. The City of Chicago On-Line Privacy Policy applies to data collected from the City of Chicago website, including all City departments. This Policy does not apply to the City’s sister agencies, including the Chicago Park District, the Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), the City Colleges of Chicago, the Chicago Housing Authority and the Metropolitan Exposition and Pier Authority.
We do not collect personal information without your permission. Any information that you volunteer or that we send to you in response is transferred using industry standard encryption technologies.
The following explains the City’s privacy policy for all visitors to the ci.chi.il.us domain.
Information Gathering and Cookies
If you visit our website to read or download information, such as events schedules, parking forms or building permits, we capture and store only the domain name of your computer (for example, aol.com). We collect no other personal information.
We do not use or set cookies on our website.
A cookie is a line of computer code inserted onto your computer by a web site which you visit. The cookie can then be read by the site’s web browser if you return to the site. Cookies are used for many things, from making web sites more personal to speeding on-line transactions. Cookies can also be used to track your web browsing habits.
On-line Transactions
The City of Chicago currently allows job applicants for vacant City positions to apply for jobs on-line. The City also allows on-line payment of parking fines for your convenience. Any information submitted online for these activities is subject to the same safeguards as if you had engaged in these activities in person rather than over the Internet.

We value your feedback. If you send the City an email with questions or comments about our programs or services, we do collect your email address and any other information that you volunteer. We do this to improve the content of our website, and occasionally, to customize its content for the individual user.
