Information submitted to the District, including contact form submissions, emails, attachments, and related records, may constitute public records under applicable Indiana law.

Where public-records, record-retention, or other legal requirements conflict with this Privacy Policy, applicable law controls.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to meet applicable records-retention, administrative, security, and legal requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and its purpose. Some District records may require long-term or permanent retention. Backup copies may remain for an additional period under our backup procedures.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss.
