USO policy on web measurement and customization technologies

The Office of Management and Budget released guidance in 2010 on how USO can use web measurement and customization technologies. The guidance requires agencies to be open and transparent about using these technologies.

The guidance says we may not compromise or invade website visitors personal privacy. we can use cookies and other technologies to improve website visitors' experiences, and to see what is useful to the public and despond accordingly.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your web browser. Here is how USOVERSIGHT.COM uses cookies:

We gather anonymous, statistical information about how people use USOVERSIGHT.COM so we can improve our website. We use services to measure data about site activity. We only receive statistics on the traffic of the site as a whole and do not receive information related to a particular user.

We remember your browser when you return to our site, so we do not invite you to take our customer satisfaction survey again within 90 days of completing the survey.

Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. Although using cookies creates a much better experience for you, USOVERSIGHT.COM will also work without them.

If you do not want to accept cookies, you can edit your browser's options to block cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Learn how to block cookies.

External links

USOVERSIGHT.COM links to many websites created and maintained by other public and/or private organizations as outlined in our linking policy. If you click on a link to an outside website, you will leave the USOVERSIGHT.COM site and are subject to the privacy and security policies of the owners/sponsors of the outside website.

Social media sites

USOVERSIGHT.COM manages a presence on social media sites such as Facebook , X , YouTube , USO , and others to share USO information and engage with the public. We do not collect any personally identifiable information through those sites, and we do not use personal information made available by the third-party sites.

If you send personal information

We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to your request. The only personal information that we collect is what you decide to give by subscribing to our email subscription services .

We only share the information you give with another USO if your question relates to that , or as otherwise required by law. USOVERSIGHT.COM never collects information or creates individual profiles for commercial marketing.

USOVERSIGHT.COM strives to make our website as accessible and usable as possible. We do this by following Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) produced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, the web's governing body).

WCAG is a set of checkpoints and guidelines that help ensure that websites are designed and written properly. For example:

• Images have alternative text so if you can't see the image you can still read the text.
• Color contrast between the foreground and background is sufficiently strong.
• Text resizes according to user preference.
• Headings are correctly used and represent an accurate and logical outline of the content (they're not just ordinary text made to look big and bold).
• Links make sense by themselves (no links that say "click here" or "more...").
• Tables are used for laying out tabular information and have proper headings and summaries.
• Lists items are defined as HTML bulleted lists to present items of equal stator value and as numbered lists if a particular order to the items is appropriate.
• The content is fully accessible and operable with keyboard navigation only.

For those familiar with Section 508 and WCAG, we aim for A and AA compliance across our site. We also look for opportunities to meet AAA compliance.

The Service is made up of the following aspects:

• Offering personalized opportunities to create, connect, communicate, discover and share. People are different. So we offer you different types of accounts and features to help you create, share, grow your presence, and communicate with people on and off USO. We also want to strengthen your relationships through shared experiences that you actually care about. So we build systems that try to understand who and what you and others care about, and use that information to help you create, find, join and share in experiences that matter to you. Part of that is highlighting content, features, offers and accounts that you might be interested in, and offering ways for you to experience USO, based on things that you and others do on and off USO.
• Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment.We develop and use tools and offer resources to our community members that help to make their experiences positive and inclusive, including when we think they might need help. We also have teams and systems that work to combat abuse and violations of our Terms and policies, as well as harmful and deceptive behavior. We use all the information we have-including your information-to try to keep our platform secure. We also may share information about misuse or harmful content with other Meta Companies or law enforcement. Learn more in the Privacy Policy.
• Developing and using technologies that help consistently serve our growing community.Organizing and analyzing information for our growing community is central to our Service. A big part of our Service is creating and using cutting-edge technologies that help personalize, protect, and improve our Service on an incredibly large scale for a broad global community. Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning give the power to apply complex processes across our Service. Automated technologies also help ensure the functionality and integrity of our Service.
• Providing consistent and seamless experiences across other Meta Company Products.USO is part of the Meta Companies, which share technology, systems, insights, and information-including the information we have about you (learn more in the Privacy Policy) in order to provide services that are better, safer, and more secure. We also provide ways to interact across the Meta Company Products that you use, and designed systems to achieve a seamless and consistent experience across the Meta Company Products depending on your choices.
• Ensuring access to our Service.To operate our global Service, we must store and transfer data across our systems around the world, including outside of your country of residence. The use of this global infrastructure is necessary and essential to provide our Service. This infrastructure may be owned or operated by Meta Platforms, Inc., Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, or their affiliates.
• Connecting you with brands, products, and services in ways you care about.We use data from USO and other Meta Company Products, as well as from third-party partners, to show you ads, offers, and other sponsored content that we believe will be meaningful to you. And we try to make that content as relevant as all your other experiences on USO.
• Research and innovation.We use the information we have to study our Service and collaborate with others on research to make our Service better and contribute to the well-being of our community.
