- TRI Safety Reporting System (using Empirica Trace)

How TRI Uses Cookies
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memo M-10-22, Guidance for Online Use of Web Measurement and Customization Technologies, allows federal agencies to use session and persistent cookies. When you visit any website, its server may generate a piece of text known as a “cookie” to place on your computer. The cookie allows the server to “remember” specific information about your visit while you are connected. The cookie makes it easier to use some features of web pages. Requests to send cookies from TRI Round UP are designed to collect information about your browser session only; they do not collect personal information about you. There are two types of cookies: single session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent).
Session cookies last only as long as your web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods. TRI only uses session cookies, not persistent cookies. Session cookies are used for technical purposes such as improving navigation though the site. These cookies let the server know that you are continuing a visit to the site. The session cookie is not permanently stored on your computer. The cookie and the information about your visit are automatically destroyed shortly after you close your browser to end the session. The OMB Memo M-10-22 Guidance defines this use of session cookies as “Usage Tier 1 – Single Session.” The policy states, “This tier encompasses any use of single session web measurement and customization technologies.”
How Personal Information Is Protected
Personally identifiable information voluntarily provided is not disclosed, given, sold or transferred outside of TRI, unless required for law enforcement or by statute. Personally identifiable information is retained in secured TRI databases. Security measures include UserID and password authentication, firewall, IDS, and encryption.
TRI links to other websites, federal agency sites and other organizations. By following these links, you are subject to the privacy policies of those sites.
If you believe your personally identifiable information has been inappropriately obtained, used, disclosed, or if you believe your personally identifiable information is inaccurate, please contact helpdesk@triroundup.com.
