Public Records and E-Mail
Please be advised that under Florida law (Florida Senate Bill SB 80 - effective July 1, 2006) E-mail addresses are public records and are not exempt from public-records requirements. If you do not want your e-mail address to be released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by telephone (239-267-7525) or in writing, via the United States Postal Service.

All records of the state or political subdivisions of the state are open for public inspection and copying, subject to certain exemptions. This policy, together with the right of individuals to be free from unauthorized governmental intrusion into their private lives, as provided in Article 1, Section 23, of the Florida Constitution, are the basis for this Internet Privacy Policy. When you use the San Carlos Park Fire District website, you are acknowledging that any personal information you provide is subject to Florida's Public Records Policy as stated in Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and Article I, Section 24, of the Florida Constitution.

You are not required to provide personal information to visit this site, download its publications, or utilize other features. The District collects no personal information about you when you visit the San Carlos Park Fire District site unless you choose to provide this information. The District does, however, collect statistical data to track visitor use and site activity.

If you choose to provide personal information, as in an e-mail to District staff, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through the District’s website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us provide the information you have requested. We respond to e-mail the same way we respond to letters sent to District offices. We are required to maintain many documents for historical purposes, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. However, information we receive may be considered public information which is subject to disclosure under Florida law. Except for information disclosure required by Florida law, we only share the information you give us with another government agency, if your inquiry relates to that agency. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide, or provide such information to any private organizations.
