Privacy Act Statement

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), this Privacy Act Statement serves to inform you of why DHS is requesting the information on this form.

Authority:  5 U.S.C. § 665k, including subsection (a)(2)

Purpose: As part of maintaining and improving the statutorily required Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Evidence-based Practices—through SchoolSafety.gov—CISA, on behalf of DHS, is requesting basic contact information in order to provide instructions and respond to questions asked and comments made through the use of the provided “Contact Us” link, or to provide new updates on the Grants Finder Tool to those who sign up for the “Grants Finder Tool Email Sign-up.” Contact information is also requested to facilitate CISA’s response when a resource is submitted on the “Suggest a Resource” page. Both the “Contact Us” and the “Suggest a Resource Page” will help DHS/CISA to improve the Clearinghouse’s content and functionality, and assist stakeholders with questions related to school safety.

Routine Uses:  The information requested on this form may be shared externally as a “routine use” with other named contributors to this interagency website (DHS, DOJ, ED & HHS) to assist CISA in providing responses to questions asked, comments made, and resources submitted through the use of the provided “Contact Us” and “Suggest a Resource” links. A complete list of the routine uses can be found in the system of records notice associated with this form, “DHS/ALL-002 DHS Mailing and Other Lists System.” The Department’s full list of system of records notices can be found on the Department's website at http://www.dhs.gov/system-records-notices-sorns.

Disclosure:  Providing your information is strictly voluntary. However, failure to provide this information may result in a lack of instructions provided or response to questions asked, comments made, and resources submitted. To ensure a submitter’s right to privacy, the inclusion of PII that does not constitute basic contact information is discouraged.
