This Privacy Policy explains how the office of Senator Catherine Cortez Masto will treat information you provide.
Personal Information
This web site may store certain information about your visit for site management and security purposes. This web site has an online web form that you can use to contact Senator Cortez Masto by sending an electronic mail message expressing your views or concerns or asking for assistance with a particular problem involving a federal agency.
To send an email, the online web form asks you for your name, address, e-mail address, and, if you wish, your home or work telephone numbers. The office of Senator Cortez Masto uses this information to contact you regarding the views that you expressed, or to provide any casework assistance her office can regarding problems you may be experiencing in dealing with a federal government agency. This information will be available to members of Senator Cortez Masto’s staff so they can assist in responding to your message or request. If you are requesting help with a casework matter, it also may be necessary for the office to share the information you provide to respond to your request.
Without your consent, the office will not share nonpublic information submitted to it with persons outside the Senate, other than to address constituent casework at your request, or in connection with a legal proceeding or potential investigation, or if the communications are potentially unlawful, or suggest a risk to health or safety.
From time to time, Senator Cortez Masto will come across a comment made by a constituent, or a situation described by a constituent, in an email message (as well as postal mail, phone calls, faxes, or through other means) that makes a point of such interest that she will refer to it in a speech, include it in the Congressional Record, or make some other use of it, either in connection with debate in the Senate or by sharing it with the relevant government agency. The office of Senator Cortez Masto makes every effort in such cases to contact the author first. If you intend your message to be confidential and would prefer that it not be used in such a way, please feel free to advise your preference in the message.
