Security/Safety
The information protected by special legislation (e.g. personal and operational data of Users) is made available to Users on the Portals only after they submit their previous identification and authentication using credentials. In these cases, the User can receive or create a password to access or submit personal data. The password should not be disclosed to anyone and the Town shall never ask the User for the password in a phone call, fax, e-mail, or other form of communication. As soon as the User exits a password-protected application or applications, they should exit the relevant page. If a publicly-accessible browser is used to access password-protected pages, the users should finish their work, and if possible, clear all cookies or other places where the password could be saved.
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures were put in place to protect and secure the information collected.

Children
