Privacy Policy

When you visit any Township of North Brunswick website, our computers may automatically collect statistics about your visit. This information does not identify you personally but rather identifies information about a visit to our site.

The Township may monitor statistics such as how many people visit our website, the user’s IP address, which pages people visit, from which domains our visitors come and which browsers people use. We use these statistics about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help us improve the performance of our website. The information will not be distributed externally except as required by OPRA.

If you choose to provide us with personal information — as in an e-mail to an elected official or municipal employee, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our web site — we use the information collected to respond to your query or complete the service you have requested. We may also use the information collected to improve our services. We only share the information you give us with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, or as otherwise required by law. We do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or to give it to any private organizations. The Township of North Brunswick does not collect information for commercial marketing. Please note that under OPRA any email you send is considered a government record and it may be disclosed as a requirement under OPRA guidelines.

There are links on the Township of North Brunswick website which enable you to pay for programs and services online with a credit card or electronic check. Unless otherwise noted, these transactions are encrypted. It is Township of North Brunswick policy that confidential information you enter in any transaction is used only for the purposes described in that transaction, unless an additional use is specifically stated at that site.

Privacy is of great concern to most users of the Internet, and is a critical part of an enjoyable and satisfactory user experience. The Township of North Brunswick is aware of and sensitive to the privacy concerns of our residents and other visitors to our Web site. We assure you that we do not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us.

The Township of North Brunswick does not use cookies. Cookies are small text files generated by the Web server and stored on the visitor’s computer. Cookies can be read by the Web server to determine if a particular Web page has already been visited or when the visitor last accessed the website.

The Township of North Brunswick, the web site development company, and the manager of this web site use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information. These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, and to provide reasonable protection of private information in our possession. The Township of North Brunswick will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of such information, but shall nevertheless not be held liable for any injury caused by the disclosure of that information, whether cause by security breach, accident, inadvertence or any other act resulting in disclosure.

We are especially concerned about protecting children’s privacy. We hope parents and teachers are involved in children’s Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information on line. The Township of North Brunswick encourages children to communicate with their local government officials and send email messages with their feedback and suggestions.

We specifically ask children to get their parent’s permission before providing any information on line — at our site or any other site — and hope parents will always be involved in those decisions. Most importantly, when children do provide information through the Township web site, it is only used to enable us to respond to the writer, and not to create profiles of children.

When you link to another web site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that new site.

The Township, its agencies, officers, or employees exercise no control over the organizations, views, accuracy, availability, copyright or trademark compliance or the legality of the material contained on those servers and do not sponsor, endorse, or approve the information, content, products, materials, opinions or services contained on such external sites. The visitor proceeds to these external sites at their own risk.
