I certify that I have read all of the information contained on this complaint form, and that all information I have given is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that by accepting this complaint, the ACLU of Utah is not undertaking my legal representation and is not responsible for ensuring that any statute of limitations restriction is met in my case.

If you file an on-line complaint form, it will be transmitted to the ACLU of Utah (hereafter the ACLU) by unencrypted e-mail. Unencrypted e-mail communication may not be a secure method of communication. The main point at which unencrypted e-mail communication may not be secure is on the sender’s (your) end. Specifically, if you are using a public or shared computer to send an e-mail to the ACLU, your messages may be available to anyone else who has access to that computer. You should take precautions to prevent other people from accessing your private or confidential e-mails on your end. There is also a small but still extant risk that your e-mail message could be intercepted or stored as it passes through e-mail servers on its delivery route to the ACLU. Once any on-line complaint form you send arrives at the ACLU, only authorized members of the ACLU’s Legal Department will have access to your complaint. In accordance with the applicable lawyer ethics rules, any information you share with us will be protected as confidential and will not be shared with people outside the ACLU’s Legal Department without your authorization. The ACLU recommends against including in your on-line complaint highly sensitive information such as Social Security numbers. If you are concerned about the security of your e-mail, you should download a complaint form and mail it to the ACLU. I understand that this on-line complaint form will be transmitted to the ACLU by unencrypted e-mail. I also acknowledge that the ACLU has warned me that unencrypted e-mail communication may not be a secure method of communication.
