If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of these web pages or any other State of Illinois web site. If personal information is requested on this web site or volunteered by the user, state law and the federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it. However, this information is a public record once you provide it, and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by federal or state law. Users are cautioned that the collection of personal information requested from or volunteered by children on-line or by email will be treated the same as information given by an adult and may be subject to public access.
