Thank you for visiting the White House on the World Wide Web, and for expressing an
interest in the privacy policy of WHITEHOUSE.ORG. Our privacy policy is clear: all
digital harvesting of personal information on this web site is maintained at a level
deemed necessary for the integrity of national security and the overall well-being
of the republic.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically:
If your visit to WHITEHOUSE.ORG consists solely of browsing web pages or downloading
information, the collecting of your personal information will be accomplished as follows:
Upon accessing any page of WHITEHOUSE.ORG for the first time, a small, patriotism-affirming
java applet ("The White House Applet") is downloaded in the background. You may experience a slight
reduction in processor performance while this application invisibly installs itself at three random
locations (one primary, two backup) on your computer's hard drive. Based on bleeding-edge
"Carnivore"
technology developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, The White House Applet will unobtrusively
monitor both your computer and Internet usage for signs of leftist, progressive, or otherwise inherently
treasonous activities – delivering bi-weekly executive summaries of any and all harvested data
to federal mainframe databases via 128-bit encrypted stealth uplink. The following information about
you will be included:
- Your computer operating system
- Your web browser type and version
- Your "IP" address and/or Internet domain access point
- Your name
- Your e-mail address(es)
- Your physical address(es)
- Reporting Period Summary of:
- Websites visited
- Internet keyword searches performed
- Usenet Newsgroups visited
- E-mails composed
- E-mails received
- Pornography downloaded
- Instant messaging transcript(s)
PLEASE NOTE: You need take no further action at this time. If you are reading this, the White House Applet is already installed and
operating properly on your computer. Persons with nothing to hide will find themselves wholly
unaffected by The White House Applet.
If You Send Us Personal Information:
If you choose to voluntarily furnish WHITEHOUSE.ORG with personal information using the
official web-based contact form, please
be aware that the information you provide will be cross-referenced with the authoritative
database (as compiled by The White House Applet) in order to confirm or deny the
truthfulness of your communication. PLEASE NOTE: Persons determined to have fabricated details relating to
identity, whereabouts, or ideological wholesomeness may be subject to politically-motivated
prosecution and/or income tax audit.
Usage of Collected User Data:
All personal data collected about you on WHITEHOUSE.ORG will be used to assemble a comprehensive
personal profile of your political leanings, socio-economic footing, consumeristic propensities, and racial purity –
from which will be derived your overall human worthiness quotient. Said profile may be rented, leased,
or made available on a pay-per-view basis to no more than 25 political action committees and/or 75
aggressive direct marketing agencies during the course of any given calendar year.
