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 private, controlled or protected as outlined in Sections 63-2-302, 63-2-303, and 63-2-304 of the Utah Code, or are records to which access is restricted according to court rule, other State law, federal law, or federal regulation.

Layton Privacy Policies and How They Relate to This Policy

A privacy policy issued by a Layton for its website may provide additional detail to, but not conflict with, this privacy policy, except as required by an applicable State law, federal law, or federal regulation. Any Layton agency or organization who collects or uses personally identifiable information in a manner inconsistent with this policy as a result of an applicable State law, federal law, or federal regulation, will adopt and issue a privacy policy of its own. The privacy policy it issues shall describe how its collection and use of personally identifiable information differs from Layton's practices as set forth in this policy. The agency's privacy policy will be conspicuously posted for your review. The privacy policy issued by the agency or organization will apply to its own website. In addition to this policy, we also recommend that you refer to the applicable agency privacy policy to obtain a description about how your personal information is collected and used.

An agency may not substitute its own privacy policy for this policy, unless a state law, federal regulation or federal statute requires an agency to treat personally identifiable information in a way that is inconsistent with this policy. In this case, an agency may opt-out of the specific provision of this policy which conflicts with the state statute, federal regulation or federal statute. If that occurs, the remainder of the provisions of this policy shall apply to the agency.

A full description of how agencies are to inform you if your personal information is treated any differently than as described in this policy is provided in R365-5-1 et seq. of the Utah Administrative Code, which governs the actions of state agencies.
