Online Privacy Issues

Online collection of personal and non-personal information when you visit the FBI Website

Generally, we use and disclose personal information collected online in the same way we use and disclose personal information collected offline. We may collect personal information through our website. As a general rule, information that can directly identify an online visitor is collected only when offered by that visitor voluntarily and on an informed basis. For example, if you complete our online job application / CV form, or if you have volunteered or we have asked you to send personal information to us by email.

If you send us an email message we will use your email address and other information you supply to respond to your message or to supply you with the information or service requested.

By providing personal information via our websites you agree your information may be transferred to servers located overseas. When you access our websites, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and the services users access the most. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us to continually create a better overall online experience for you.
