Simply stated, except as stated below, our policy is not to collect personal information about you when you visit Tobacco Free Florida website unless you affirmatively choose to make such information available to us. This site is intended for users at least 13 years of age.

When you visit the Tobacco Free Florida portal, the web server automatically recognizes only the Internet domain and IP address from which you accessed the site. This information does not result in the identification of your personal e-mail address or other personal information.

In addition, information is only gathered regarding the volume and timing of access to the site by collecting information on the date, time, and pages you visited while at the site. This is done so that the content of the site can be improved, and is not linked to your personal information.

If you choose to share personal information, such as by subscribing to an e-newsletter, sending a message, or filling out an electronic form with personal information, the information will be saved for a designated period of time in order to comply with the state of Florida’s archiving policies.

However, information will not be disclosed to third parties or other government agencies unless required by state or federal law or to comply with a judicial proceeding or court order, or disclosure to our service providers as necessary in order to administer the website and assist us with our campaigns. In such cases, we require these companies to sign a non-disclosure agreement as part of their contract with us.

Please note that Florida’s public records law requires that all information received in connection with state business be made available to anyone upon request, unless the information is subject to a specific statutory exemption. This may include disclosure of your e-mail address, which is considered a public record under Florida law.
