We use IP addresses to look at trends, administer the site, track movement through the side, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

This aggregate data is not linked to any personal information that can identify an individual.
Forms
This website uses forms to collect information that you provide to us so we can interact with you at your request. For example, if you wish to receive our email newsletters, we ask for your email address so we can send those emails to you. We also ask for your zip code so we can communicate with you in a timely manner.
From time to time we request information as part of surveys or contests. Participation is these is completely voluntary so you choose to share your information with us. We may request information like name and address or age and zip code so we can verify eligibility and contact winners about prizes in contests. Survey information is used to make our site a better experience for those that visit.

How We use Data
Security
Sensitive information submitted via the Web site is protected both online and offline. When a registration/order form asks for sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is protected with the best encryption software in the industry—SSL. We also take measures to protect information offline. Access to all collected information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Choice/Opt-out
At the point where we ask for the information site visitors also have the ability to opt-in to receive additional information; for example when you request a visitor’s guide, we may ask if you would like to sign up for our email newsletter. Receiving additional information is completely optional and site visitors must check a box to opt-in. Site visitors who no longer wish to receive our newsletters or electronically provided promotional materials may opt-out at any time by using the unsubscribe link that is included on every communication.

We use third party services for this, including the Google AdWords remarketing service, to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who have not completed a task on our site or visited key pages, for example requesting a visitors guide. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to the VisitSaltLake.com or SkiCity.com websites. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Additional Information
Geolocation tracking
We have a tag placed on our website that passes information to a geolocation partner, UberMedia, regarding the pages a potential visitor explores and where they come from (referrer). This allows us to find out things like: which pages help people decide to come here the most, the patterns of travel that are used most often, and how long it takes between visiting our website and visiting our city. The specific information collected by the pixel includes the IP of the device, page path, referrer, and page URL. To view complete details on how UberMedia protects and uses this data please visit their Summary of Privacy Policy
Minors Providing Information
We do not collect age related information and request that minors do not provide personal data to us. In the case of products that are purchased for children (for example the child Connect Pass) we do not collect any personally identifiable information for those minors.
