Examples of personal information may include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, Social Security number, credit or debit card number, bank account information, or other personal information that could be used to determine identity.  

When you communicate or interact with Murray City, you may provide personal information to receive a Murray City service, enroll in a program, or provide Murray City with feedback. You may choose to communicate with Murray City by way of email, phone calls, text messages, service or program enrollment form/application, community engagement or event registration, or completing a Murray City survey. Each of these methods results in data collection. 

If you do not want to provide any personal information while using this website, you may use the services by using the appropriate non-electronic means or you may decline to use the services.  

Collection and Use of Personal Information: This notice applies solely to the direct use of www.murray.utah.gov.

Murray City does not sell your personal information or share your personal information with private companies for marketing purposes.  However, as you navigate www.murray.utah.gov you will see links that, when clicked, take you directly to resources or websites hosted outside of the www.murray.utah.gov website.  

These resources or websites will have their own individual privacy notices. Some of these notices will be similar to the www.murray.utah.gov notice, while others will be specifically tailored to the interactions available through that website.  

While the large majority of the links hosted by www.murray.utah.gov directly connect you to other state, federal, or local government resources or websites, some links directly connect to websites or resources being provided by third parties, such as Murray City services hosted by a third-party or social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
