Privacy Policy
Under Florida law, email addresses are public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to any Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) email address. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.
When you visit the District’s website, Google’s third-party application, Google Analytics, collects web addresses called Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), which include titles, locations and browser information. The District also uses the third-party application Microsoft Clarity, which does not track any precise geolocation. With both applications, the District anonymizes user IP addresses, which means the user’s full IP address is hidden. Additionally, no personally identifying information is collected, such as names or email addresses, and no user data or information is stored.
Information from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity is only gathered for the volume and timing of website access by collecting the date, time and pages visited while a user is on the website. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to enhance site optimization, improve the website’s content and for security purposes. This data is not shared with other organizations. By using the District’s website, you agree to the collection and use of this data.
