This data helps us improve content, effectiveness, and overall usage. The information is not shared with other companies or organizations for their independent use.

IP Addresses

We collect and log the Internet Protocol address (IP) of all website visitors. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. IP addresses allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with one another. We collect IP address information so that we can properly administer our system and gather aggregate information about how our site is being used, including the pages visitors are viewing. To maintain your anonymity, we do not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information.

Cookies

Small data files called “cookies” may be placed in the web browser’s file storage area of your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are a standard part of Internet technology that allow the storage and retrieval of login information from a user’s system. These cookies automatically identify your browser to our server whenever you interact with our website. Cookies can store your preferences through a password you select to access a website. Cookies also help us review website traffic patterns and improve our website.

Most browsers automatically accept these cookies; you usually can change your browser setting to prevent the acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from using some of the features of our website.

Ad Tracking

We may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, and other similar technologies in the course of our business. Information about the technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them can be found in the Cookies section of this policy.

Social Media

The information you allow us to access varies by social networking site and depends on the level of privacy settings you have in place at the social networking site. You can control and learn more about these privacy settings at the applicable social networking site.

Security of Your Information

We take commercially reasonable precautions and security measures to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorized access and use. Despite these measures, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us via this website by Internet or email cannot be guaranteed; therefore, you transmit information to us at your own risk.

Email Communication

Email communication that you send to us via the email links on our site may be shared with various employees of Walton’s Grizzly Lodge who are most able to address your inquiry. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion once communications are received. Once we have responded to your communication, it is discarded or archived, depending on the nature of the inquiry.

The email links on our site do not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It’s possible that your email communication may be accessed or viewed by another Internet user while in transit to us. If you wish to keep your communication private, do not use email.

Disclosure to Third-Parties

We do not sell your personal information to any third parties for commercial purposes. We may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our visitors, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site-usage patterns gathered during visits to our website, but it does not contain behavioral or identifying information about any individual visitor.

Children’s Privacy

Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), an operator of a commercial website or online service directed to children 12 years of age or younger is required to obtain verifiable parental consent to collect, use, or disclose personal information of a child. There are certain limited exceptions allowing operators to collect a child’s email address without prior parental consent, including, but not limited to, collecting a child’s or parent’s email address to provide notice and to seek consent and collecting an email address to respond to a one-time request from a child and then deleting it.

As noted above, we wish to obtain the types of information identified above from those people, including children, who visit our website. To ensure that we comply with the law, we will request children 12 years of age and younger not to contact us directly, but rather to have their parent or guardian contact us.

You may refuse to allow us to collect or use any personally identifying information on your child and/or to communicate with your child, and to have us delete what information we do have. If you consent at first you may later change your mind and revoke your consent.

If you have any questions about COPPA, you may contact the Federal Trade Commission online at www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy. You also may call the FTC’s Consumer Response Center toll-free at 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357), or write Consumer Response Center, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580.

Website Privacy Policy Changes

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. If we decide to change this privacy policy in any material way, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our website. In all cases, your continued use of any services constitutes acceptance to any such changes.
