Privacy Policy
You do not have to provide personal information to visit the City's web site. The City of Littleton will not collect personally identifiable information, such as your name or e-mail address, unless you specifically and knowingly provide it. Any personally identifying information you provide will be used to respond to your question or to process your transaction and/or request for information. Communications received by the City from any source are generally available to the public under provisions of the state public records laws.

If you send us an electronic mail message (e-mail) that contains personally identifiable information or fill out a form which submits this information, the City will use the personally identifiable information to respond to you. The City may redirect your question to another City of Littleton staff, or another government agency who is better able to answer your question. E-mail is within the definition of a public record under the state public records law and is subject to public disclosure under that law.

To protect this site and ensure this service remains available to all, the City of Littleton uses software programs to monitor network traffic and identify attempts to change information on this web site or otherwise cause damage to this site. This information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information, except as may be required to support authorized law enforcement investigations.

This site uses a secure server for conducting online services. Some information that you submit through this Web site is protected by encryption technology, some is not. Current browsers indicate whether a site or page is secure. At the bottom of the browser window, you should see a key or lock symbol. If the key image is not broken or the lock image appears locked, then you are on a secure Web page and any information you submit from that page is encrypted. If the key or lock images are not present or appear broken, that page is not secure. Additionally, the address bar URL beginning with "https" indicates a secure connection.

Offsite Link Policy
The mission of the City of Littleton's Web site, www.littletongov.org, is to provide residents, businesses and visitors online access to government departments, services and programs. From time to time the City may wish to post links to other sites which, in the opinion of the City, provide more information to our residents, businesses, and visitors about additional government services and information, or other information about the community, including festivals, cultural events, and local news.

Links to Candidates and Political Groups
In order to avoid the potential violation of the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act, Article 45, Title 1, C.R.S., links shall not be made to sites that are associated with, sponsored by or serve a candidate for elected office, any political party or organization supporting or seeking to defeat any candidate for elective office or ballot proposal. During an election year, the city manager's office, with assistance from the city clerk, may release a statement which will provide an overview of the election process and announce the candidates who have been certified for the ballot by the city clerk.  The City will not publish announcements/press releases from council members or council candidates announcing their intent to run or not to run for reelection on either the city web site or in the Littleton Report.

Library Link Policy
The purpose of libraries throughout the ages has been to provide knowledge and information to their patrons. Therefore, the Bemis Library Web page shall be exempted from this general policy. Links in the library's portion of the site shall be limited to research sites which may be segregated by type of site, age group or other patron categories; other libraries or groups of libraries such as Colorado Virtual Library, Prospector, or the Jefferson County Public Library; or sites maintained by professional library groups.

Referring Links
