Magna Water District Privacy Policy Statement
Privacy Policy of Magna Water District
Purpose of Privacy Notice
Magna Water District is committed to protecting residents’ personally identifiable information.
The purpose of this Notice is to inform residents regarding the Magna Water District’s collection
and use of personally identifiable information. This information is provided on Magna Water
District’s website and on account application cards.
Definition of Personally Identifiable Information
For purposes of this Notice “Personally Identifiable Information” means any information relating
to an identified or identifiable individual who is the subject of the information. This information
could include information that identifies a user by name, account number, physical or mailing
address, email address, telephone number, Social Security number, credit or debit card
information, or bank account information. This information may include any combination of the
above or other personal information that could be used to determine identity.
Information Gathered by the Magna Water District
The Magna Water District only collects the Personally Identifiable Information that is required to
carry out and provide services to users of our services.
Some digital services require the creation of a user account that may use some personally
identifiable information. Such information is only used by the Magna Water District to provide
these government services.
The Magna Water District will make every reasonable effort to protect Personally Identifiable
information. The Magna Water District does not disclose gathered personal information to any
third parties inside or outside the Magna Water District except as required by law or to provide a
service for which the Magna Water District has contracted with a third party.
Access to Personally Identifiable Information from Governmental Websites and the
Governmental Records Access and Management Act
As a municipal government, the Magna Water District is a public governmental body subject to
Chapter 2, Title 63 of the Utah Code, the law entitled the Government Records Access and
Management Act (GRAMA). Information about GRAMA can be found on the Utah State
Legislature website at https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title63G/Chapter2/63G-2.html. If an appropriate
request is made to the Magna Water District for information that is subject to disclosure under
Chapter 2, and not made confidential elsewhere in the Utah Code, the Magna Water District may
be required to disclose the information requested, even if it may include your personally
identifiable information. While Chapter 2 sets the general policies for access to government
records in the state of Utah, other sections of the Utah Code as well as other federal laws also
deal with confidentiality issues.
All records that are prepared, owned, received, or retained by a governmental entity that may be
reproduced by certain means are considered public, unless they are classified as private,
controlled, or protected, as outlined in GRAMA Code 63G-2, or are records to which access is
restricted according to court rule, other State law, federal law, or federal regulation. Personally
identifiable information is not a classification of records under GRAMA.
Data Security
The Magna Water District is committed to data security and the data integrity of Personally
Identifiable Information that is gathered and takes reasonable precautions to protect such
information from loss, misuse, or alteration. The Magna Water District maintains physical,
technical, and administrative safeguards. The Magna Water District restricts access to personal
data to only those employees who need the information to provide necessary Magna Water
District benefits or services. As with any transmission over the Internet, there is always some
element of risk involved in sending personal information. Unless otherwise prohibited by state or
federal law, rule or regulation, an individual is granted the ability to access and correct
personally identifiable information whether the information inaccuracy was accidental or by
created unauthorized access. Individuals should be aware, however, that even though protections
are in place, the Magna Water District cannot guarantee against the occurrence of hardware
failure, unauthorized intrusion, or other technical problems.
Information Storage
Retention of records follows the State’s General Retention Schedule
(https://archives.utah.gov/rim/retention-schedules.html). Retention timelines can vary depending
on what kind of information you provide.
Sharing Information
The Magna Water District may share information or statistics with third parties or the public in
an anonymous form that does not directly identify individuals. No Personally Identifiable
Information would be shared. Additionally, if a user is having issues with an online Magna Water
District service, the Magna Water District may share information with outside parties to the
extent necessary to troubleshoot the issues or enhance the performance of the system.
If We Are Required by Law to Disclose Information
Under certain circumstances, the Magna Water District may be required by law to disclose
certain information to law enforcement authorities. Suspicious emails, electronic threats, and any
information on illegal activity may be provided to the appropriate authorities.
Changes to this Privacy Notice and Security Policy
The Magna Water District reserves the right to change or amend this Privacy Notice from time to
time and reserves the right to do so without notice.
