THE LONG VERSION:

Information We Collect
When you provide your name, e-mail address, phone number or mailing address, we only use it to fulfill your request for materials or to supply you with future information that you have indicated that you wish to receive. If you participate in a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, phone number, social media account name and/or e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. We acquire e-mail addresses and other personally identifying data about visitors to this site only when voluntarily submitted or posted to us.

When you complete an on-line survey on our site we may ask for contact information (e.g. your e-mail address) and, sometimes, demographic information (e.g. your age, zip code, travel habits, travel history, destination preferences, income range, gender, family size). We use this information to better understand our visitors and potential visitors and to improve this website and our individual and group travel offerings.

Cookies are used for measurement, ads and optimization. By continuing to use our site you agree to our privacy and security policy.

How We Use the Information
We maintain security over all the information about the activity of visitors to this site. We use the information you share with us to improve our site and our individual and group travel offerings. We monitor website visitor traffic patterns to guide our further development and improvement of the site itself. We do not share your information with any organization or business outside of Visit Golden.

Opting Out 
You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to take advantage of Visit Golden services, or to receive more information about Golden. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please contact us at visitgolden@cityofgolden.net with "Remove from your mailing list" in the subject line. All emails sent through our newsletter lists have an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

IP addresses
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track movement throughout the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, however aggregated information is not linked to any personal identifying information Remarketing/Retargeting Policy
This website uses the Facebook remarketing service to advertise on Facebook 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 visiting our calendar of events page. This could be in the form of an advertisement in your Facebook feed. Third-party vendors, including Facebook, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Visit Golden website. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Facebook’s privacy policy. You can update your ad preferences on Facebook by visiting Facebook's Ad Preferences. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, this page will be promptly updated to reflect the changes so our site visitors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

Do Not Track Policy
Visit Golden’s website currently does not respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers a choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third party online services.

Correspondence
We maintain and review e-mail correspondence that you send to us. We may use (and maintain in a file specific to you) the personally identifiable information disclosed in the e-mail. Because such correspondence contains information that is not transmitted through the operation of the Site, it is not subject to the terms of this Policy.
