Thank you for visiting the CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service (SFS) website and reviewing our privacy policy. Here’s how we handle information about your visit to the SFS website:

If you’re an interested party browsing the site for information
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages or download information, we may gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We may automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

1. The internet domain (for example, "youragency.gov" if you connect from a government domain, "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain or "xcompany.com" if you use a private internet access account) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web) from which you access our website;
2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
3. The date and time you access our site;
4. The pages you visit; and
5. If you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website.

If collected, we will use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors by learning about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. Additionally, we do not track or record information about individuals and their visits. This site uses “session cookies" when an agency official, staff from a participating institution or a participating scholar registers on the site. The site also uses “session cookies” when scholars complete or edit their online resumes.

Individuals who register on our site as a scholar, principal investigator, agency official or administrator are subject to the privacy act statement provided on each registration page.

If you send us an email or forms request

If you choose to provide us with personal information in an email to one of our online email boxes or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it through our website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you’ve requested. We treat emails and forms requests the same way we treat letters sent to the Office of Personnel Management, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We collect personally identifiable information (name, email address, Social Security number or other unique identifier) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. 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. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations. We do not collect information for commercial marketing.

Links to other sites

Our website has links to other federal agencies. We also link to other organizations' websites when we have a good business reason to do so. These external links are not endorsements of the organizations nor do they ensure the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of the information. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

Site security

We ensure that our website remains available to all users by using a Government computer system that employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
