  • Internet protocol address of the individual computer (or proxy server) making the request
  • Type of internet browser or computer operating system you are using
  • Date and time you accessed this site
  • Web pages visited on this site
  • Internet address of the site from which you may have linked to this site

How We Collect Information

Personally, identifiable information is collected through voluntary disclosure by you through on-line forms and email questions.

Our website uses log files and web cookies to capture generic, internet-user information each time a request is made to view a page within this website.

What We Do With the Information We Collect

Personally identifiable information you submit in email or online forms is used so that we can answer or process your request as effectively as possible.

All information collected through server log files is used in aggregate form to analyze usage trends and statistics to help us improve our website. It may also be used to identify and respond to threats to the state network.

Cookies may be used when necessary to complete a transaction, to process data submitted to us online, or to facilitate ongoing Internet interaction.

Client Information will Not be Shared with the General Public, but Public Records will be Made Available Upon Request.

If you are an applicant for or recipient of benefits or services administered or overseen by NOAS, then any personally identifiable information that you submit to us will NOT be shared with the general public.

While your personally identifiable information is generally not considered a public record, any documents, and records submitted to NOAS that are determined to be non-personally-identifying or non-confidential, may be subject to the Ohio public records law, which requires that Ohio public agencies disclose certain documents and records, including electronic records, to the public upon request. Email Cheryl Tarantino at ctarantino@noas.com to request this information.

In addition, even though NOAS does not share an applicant or recipient’s personal information with the general public, we will share personally identifiable information submitted through email or online forms with other Ohio state agencies when necessary to respond to your email request or process your online form. For example, if you have a question regarding the privacy of state income tax filings, we may forward your question to the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Any information collected through this website that indicates a threat of harm to people, property, or systems or a violation of a law may be shared with law enforcement and used in connection with a criminal investigation, prosecution, or other legal proceedings.

Access and Dispute of Information

Under sections 1347.08 and 1347.09 of the Ohio Revised Code, individuals have access rights to their information maintained in personal information systems. “Access rights” means you have the right, with limits, to inspect, correct, and dispute such information.

For record-keeping systems not covered by chapter 1347 of the Revised Code, we will work with you to give you the opportunity to inspect, correct or dispute the information, if any, about yourself in other records systems we maintain, subject to restrictions or limits in Ohio law.
