Information Collected and Stored Automatically
When you visit CTUIR.org and affiliated sites, we will automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
- Name of the Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account or “yourschool.edu” if you are connecting from a university’s domain).
- IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet) from which you access our site.
- Type of browser and operating system used to access our site.
- Date and time you access our site.
- Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site.
- Country and state from which you access our site.
- Pages you visit and the information you request.
- Search terms you used to get to our website from an external search engine and terms you used on our site using our search engine.
This information is collected as part of a systems log file that is used internally for technical improvements and site management. We collect this information to create summary statistics to assess what information is of most and least interest to the public, improving visitor experience and identifying system performance or problem areas. We also use the information to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our website to help us make our site more useful.
The primary purpose of collecting this information is not to track individual visitors to this site. However, in certain circumstances—such as defacement, threats or potential criminal activity—the CTUIR may be required by law to take additional steps to identify who is using this information. Additionally, the information collected may be shared with other agencies when required by federal law, executive order or regulation.
Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide
You do not have to provide personal information to visit our website. If you choose to provide personal information by sending a message to an email address on this website, submitting a form through our website, or filling out a questionnaire or guestbook, we will use the information you provide to respond to you or provide the service you requested.
Please do not send us sensitive information, such as your credit card or social security numbers, via email. Internet communications are not always secure. It is possible that a third party may intercept the information, and we cannot guarantee its security over email. You may wish to consider other means to securely send sensitive personal information to us.
We use personally identifiable information to protect you and provide better service (e.g., correcting broken links that you have identified or providing the information that you have requested). Any information that we collect via a questionnaire or a guestbook may be subject to disclosure. We will handle your information as required by applicable law to ensure the greatest protection of your personal privacy.
Where feasible, visitors will be provided with an additional privacy notice on websites and forms where the CTUIR requests personal information. Privacy notices will include a brief description of the CTUIR’s practices with respect to the collection, use, maintenance or dissemination of any personal information that is requested or provided.
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation does not collect or use information for commercial marketing purposes.
Information Collected for Website Measurement and Customization Technologies (Cookies)
A cookie is a small file that transfers to your computer when you visit a website to allow it to remember specific information about your session. Your computer will only share the information in the cookie with the website that provided it, and no other website can request it. There are two types of cookies, session and persistent. Session cookies last only as long as your web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for longer periods of time.
CTUIR websites may use session cookies for technical purposes, such as to enable better navigation through the site, or to allow you to customize your preferences for interacting with the site. A few CTUIR websites may also make use of persistent cookies to remember you between visits. For example, you can save your customized preference settings for future visits. Each CTUIR site that uses persistent cookies identifies such usage. If you do not wish to have session or persistent cookies stored on your machine, you can turn them off in your browser. However, this may affect how some CTUIR websites function.
Links to External Sites
Our website has links to other organizations. Once you access another site through a link that we provide, you are subject to the privacy policy of that site. The privacy policies and procedures described here do not apply to any external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you link to from ours, especially if you share any personal information.

CTUIR maintains official accounts on third-party websites and applications to interact with the public, increase government transparency, promote open government and provide access to information.

Certain CTUIR webpages may contain embedded content and applications from third-party website and application service providers.
CTUIR may request that you voluntarily provide information through these official accounts such as registering for an event hosted by the CTUIR. If you use a site outside of CTUIR.org, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of that site. These third-party websites and application service providers may collect the information you voluntarily provide, in accordance with their terms of service and privacy policies. CTUIR does not control what these third-parties service providers do with the information they collect from visitors. You should review the third-party service provider’s terms of service and privacy policies before using it to understand how and when the third-party service provider collects, uses or shares information you make available by using its services.
CTUIR utilizes a variety of social media accounts. The CTUIR uses these social media sites to share information. The CTUIR posts videos, images and news events on these sites to provide alternative opportunities to disseminate information and content to the public.
Your use of official CTUIR accounts on third-party websites and applications may cause personally identifying information to become available or accessible to the CTUIR. For example, information may become available to the CTUIR when a user provides, submits, communicates, links, posts or associates information with official CTUIR accounts through “liking,” “friend-ing,” responding to tweets or commenting on content.
CTUIR may collect and maintain personally identifiable information you make available on these official CTUIR accounts on third-party websites and applications consistent with applicable laws.
Email Subscriptions
The CTUIR maintains lists of subscribers who request periodic email updates. The email subscription service allows visitors to the CTUIR website to receive notifications by email when new information is available. If you sign up for these automatic updates you will only receive notification of changes to the web pages you specify and may unsubscribe at any time. You will be asked to provide your email address and the updates you would like to receive. Providing this information is voluntary; however, it is necessary in order to participate in this email subscription service. We do not sell, rent, exchange or otherwise disclose our list of subscribers to external organizations. We will not share your personal information with third parties for promotional purposes.
Website Security
To maintain site security and ensure this service remains available to all users, the CTUIR’s information systems and systems operated by contractors on behalf of the CTUIR use software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, CTUIR makes no other attempts to identify individual users or their usage habits. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this site are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986, as amended.
We use virus protection measures on our computer systems and regularly update the software. These computer security measures maintain our computer systems and ensure that all files that we develop or post on our web servers are virus-free. When you download a file from our site, it is possible, though unlikely, that the data may contract a virus and become corrupted before it reaches your computer.
