PORTVILLE, NEW YORK
Disclosure
This web site is intended to provide information about the Town of Portville, its government structure and
information. This site further endeavors to provide access information about many of the businesses within the
Town of Portville. Additionally, individuals within the Town of Portville have submitted pictures purported to have
been taken within the Town of Portville upon which no copyright is attached.
This web site is owned or updated by the Town of Portville. It was designed by Terry Keeley, aka Chateau St.
Bovine LLC, at no cost to the Town. The Town of Portville has attempted to provide information that is accurate,
timely, and useful in understanding how to effectively interact with Portville Town government and, to some
extent, other government entities. All costs associated with the creation, maintenance and operation of this site
are funded exclusively by the Town of Portville.
You will be able to communicate directly with the Town of Portville through use of this site.
Many of the statements made below came from text created in the privacy and disclaimer web pages on the
Town and Village of Allegany, New York web site.
Privacy
The Town of Portville has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy
for our web-site users. Other web sites operated by state, county and local agencies have different policies.
We suggest that you read the privacy policies for each web site that you visit, and any external site that you
visit via a link at this site. This privacy statement may change at any time. The information collected prior to the
time of such a change will be treated as stated in the policy in effect at the time of collection. The following
paragraphs disclose our information gathering and dissemination practices. If you do not agree with any term in
this policy, please do not use this site.
A Privacy Partnership
At this web site, we attempt to protect your privacy to the maximum extent possible. However, because some
of the information we receive through this Web site is subject to the New York State Public Officers Law, we
cannot ensure absolute privacy. Information that you provide to us through this site may be made available to
members of the public pursuant to the law. This policy informs you of the information that we collect from you at
this site, what we do with it, to whom it may be disseminated, and how you can access it. Based on this
information, you can make an informed choice about your use of this site. You can maximize the benefits of your
privacy by making informed choices about whether to share personally identifiable information with us through
this site.
Personally Identifiable Information
We use the term “personally identifiable information” to mean any information that could reasonably be used to
identify you, including your name, address, e-mail address, Social Security number, birth date, bank account
information, credit card information, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you.
Information Voluntarily Provided by You
This site collects voluntary information from you only from the e-mails or on-line forms that you send through this
site. These e-mails and on-line forms will contain personally identifiable information. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. The Town of Portville agencies and
departments may request personally identifiable information from you in order to provide requested services.
Such information is handled as it would be on an in-person visit to that same agency or department.
Information Automatically Collected and Stored by this Site
This site does use “cookies”. A “cookie” is a text file, not a program, which is sent to your computer when you
access a site. Cookies do not disclose your name or email address to a web-site. They can only tell a web-site
if you have visited before and can pass short bits of information from the Web-site back to itself the next time
you visit.
Dissemination of Your Personally Identifiable Information
We do not sell any personally identifiable information collected through this Web site. However, once you
voluntarily submit personally identifiable information to us through an e-mail or on-line forms, its dissemination is
governed by the Public Officers Law, and other applicable laws and regulations. For this reason, part or all of
the information you send us may be provided to a member of the public in response to a public records request.
In addition, the information that you voluntarily submit will be disclosed only to Village and Town employees or
officials with a “need to know” for purposes of fulfilling their job responsibilities. They will only use the
information to answer your questions and respond to any requests for assistance. Where appropriate, we may
provide the information submitted by you to the person or company that is the subject of your inquiry, or to a
government agency responsible for the matters referred to in your communication.
Your Access and Opportunity to Correct
The New York State Public Officers Law provides you with certain rights to get information about you that is in
Town of Portville records.
Security
Because this site does not encrypt incoming e-mail, you should not send information that you consider highly
sensitive through this Web site. We use standard security measures to ensure that your personally identifiable
information is not lost, misused, altered, or unintentionally destroyed. Except for authorized law enforcement
investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.
Links Disclaimer
In order to provide visitors with certain information, this web-site provides links to local, State and federal
government agencies, and web-sites of other organizations. A link does not constitute an endorsement of the
content, view point, accuracy, opinions, policies, products, services or accessibility of that web-site. Once you
link to another web-site from this web-site, you are subject to the terms and conditions of that web-site,
including, but not limited to, its privacy policy.
Information Disclaimer
Information provided on this web-site is intended to allow the public immediate access to public information.
While all attempts are made to provide accurate, current, and reliable information, the web site owner and the
Town of Portville recognize the possibility of human and/or mechanical error. Therefore, the web site owner and
the Town of Portville, their employees, officers and agencies make no representations as to the accuracy,
completeness, currency, or suitability of the information provided by this web-site, and deny any expressed or

Data Collection
Currently, the web site owner and the Town of Portville do not knowingly collect personal information from
children or create profiles of children through this web-site. People are cautioned that the collection of personal
information provided by any individual in an email will be treated the same as information given by an adult, and
may, if not protected by federal or State law, be subject to public access. The Town of Portville encourages

asked to provide personal information on-line.
