Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

The City of Piedmont, Alabama (“the City,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information this website collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only and not to other sites we link to.

Information we collect

We try to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the site, that may include:

• Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, submit the contact or report-an-issue form, or otherwise message the City, we receive what you provide, typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Basic technical information. Like most websites, our hosting may automatically log standard details such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, used to keep the site running and secure.

How we use it

• To respond to your questions, requests, and reports.
• To send city news, events, and announcements if you subscribed to the newsletter.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the website.
• To meet legal or public-records obligations that apply to municipal government.

Payments

Online bill payments are handled by a third-party payment provider, not on this website. When you choose “Pay My Bill,” you leave this site and your payment information is collected and processed by that provider under its own terms and privacy policy. The City does not receive or store your full card or bank details through this website.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the site (for example, hosting or email delivery), or when required by law, public-records requests, or to protect the safety and rights of the City and the public.

Public records

As a unit of Alabama local government, communications you send to the City may be subject to the Alabama Open Records Act and could be disclosed in response to a lawful public-records request.

Your choices

• Newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email, or by contacting us.
• Access & corrections. Contact us to ask what information we hold about you or to request a correction.

Children

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
