Your privacy is important to us. The following privacy policy outlines how your personal information will be handled by Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) while using this site.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy and Security

LACSD has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and the security of your personal information. The following information explains our policy regarding any personal information you may supply to us when visiting the lacsd.org domain.

LACSD's goal in collecting personal information online is to provide you with the most effective service possible. By understanding your needs and preferences, LACSD will be in the better position to provide you with improved service. Our goal is to protect your online information in the same manner that we protect citizen and business information obtained through other means.

Your personal information will not be collected through the LACSD’s website unless you voluntarily participate in an activity that asks for information (e.g. sending an e-mail, filling out a Web form, etc.). If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of this Web site.

Personally Identifiable Information We Collect

Personal information we collect from you and store in our databases/servers:

• Your first and last name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your business certificate account number
• Your preparer name, phone number and digital signature

Information we capture but do not store in our databases/servers:

• Your credit card billing address
• Your credit card type
• Your credit card number and card security code (CSC)
• The name on your card
• Your credit card expiration date

What We Do to Secure Your Information

We store your personal information in databases on servers located behind a firewall in order to protect against the unauthorized access to, or the compromise of, information contained on our servers.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. When you login to view your account information, we ensure your privacy by encrypting your password, and related information sent between your browser and our server using industry standard 128-bit or greater cryptography so that if this information is intercepted, it cannot be read.

However, you should know that in the present technological environment, no security measures are perfect, and that neither we nor any other Internet site can fully eliminate these security risks.

Should there be an unauthorized access or suspected compromise of your personal information on our servers, we will immediately notify you through a written letter or other means so that you will be able to quickly take steps to prevent possible identity theft.

How Your Information Is Used

LACSD endeavors to keep all personal information collected through its website secure, and to maintain the confidentiality of such information.  To that end, LACSD does not share or sell any such information collected through its website with any categories of third parties unless required to do so pursuant to state or federal law.  LACSD may be required by law to share such information in connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings.

Email Address

On certain occasions, we may request your email address for purposes of correspondence or for other LACSD business. LACSD will not share email addresses with anyone outside LACSD or disclose user information to any third party, unless required to do so pursuant to state or federal law.

Log Files

LACSD does not release any information about the collection of IP addresses to any third party except when required to do so pursuant to state or federal law. LACSD's website archives web server log files in order to create aggregate statistical reports, detect errors at the website, and implement security protocols. However, these aggregate reports do not contain any personally identifiable information, nor does LACSD regularly make any attempt to link the server log files with any particular individual. The web log files are eventually deleted.

Direct Mail

In the future, LACSD may use the personal data provided online to send you information about LACSD services and upcoming civic activities. We will neither sell nor provide your personal information for any other direct mail activities, unless required to do so pursuant to state or federal law.

Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
