GINA collects personal information for the purpose of fulfilling user requests. This information will not be provided to third parties without a court order. GINA respects your privacy and time so personal information will be used for its intended purpose only. The single exception to this is that GINA may contact registered users with significant GINA-related notices regarding events such as major upgrades, system downtime for maintenance, security notices, etc.. Out of respect for your time, these notices will be kept to a minimum. Those seeking more frequent information regarding GINA may contact us to sign up for our mailing list.

Data may also be aggregated and published for reporting purposes. For example, we may release a report showing the percentage of data access by category of user (government, university, K12, general public, etc.). Personally identifiable information will not be made available in these cases.
