Personal identifying information may be collected through the visitors’ registration for our e-newsletter, visitor’s guide, mailing lists, online request forms, contests, feedback forms, surveys, and personal interest forms.

We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.

We may use an outside shipping company to fulfill requests for visitor guides and other promotional materials. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally-identifiable information for any other purposes.

We use automated data collection technology (such as usage monitoring software, cookies, and sessions) to collect and store certain general information which does not require any input on your part such as: type of browser, operating system, IP address, referral domain name. We use this data to inform how we and with which partners we select, create and manage print, digital and social media advertising campaigns.
