ONLINE TRACKING
The decision to provide PII to us is optional. However, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some of the features of our websites. Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of PII about an individual consumer’s online activities over time.

PURPOSE FOR COLLECTION, PROCESSING, AND DISCLOSURE:
COLLECTION & USE

Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center is fully committed to providing you with information about the collection and use of PII furnished by, or collected from, visitors while using our web sites, products and services. It is our practice not to ask you for information unless we need it or intend to use it. Some of the primary purposes for collecting your PII are as follows:

providing services such as processing a transaction (e.g., making a reservation, fulfilling a request for information, or completing a product order)
marketing and communications with you in relation to the products and services offered by Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center, our strategic marketing partners, and other trusted third parties
performing market research via surveys to better serve your needs, improve the effectiveness of our web sites, your travel experience, our various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities
To market our services to you on other websites, also called “remarketing” or “retargeting”. We will not use your information to allow other companies, except our own, to market to you online.
To allow third-party vendors, including Google, to show our ads to across the Internet.
Cookies created by Google are added to your web browser when visiting our website when you visit it (unless not allowed in your browser settings).
You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting theNetwork Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
You may opt out of marketing emails and Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center surveys at any time by clicking on the link included in such communications, or by contacting us directly to opt out of direct marketing, telemarketing, emails or surveys. You will always be offered the choice not to submit your PII or to decide what communications you want to receive from us. However, doing so may cause certain transactions to become affected. For example, not providing a name will prevent the processing of reservations.

PROCESSING AND DISCLOSURE
In most cases, the information you provide is added to a local or global database. In the course of processing your information, it may be necessary to transfer your PII to Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center affiliates, properties within the Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center system and/or third party service providers located in the United States and throughout the world for the purposes outlined within this Privacy Statement. Unless otherwise precluded or governed by legal requirements and/or process, Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center subsidiaries, affiliates and property owners that may receive your information are required to abide by substantially similar privacy requirements relating to your PII. As a general practice, Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center does not sell, rent, or give physical possession of your PII to unaffiliated third parties and third parties may not collect PII about your online activities over time and across different websites, outside the Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center system. Situations in which Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center may disclose your information to others include:

when we have received your consent to do so
in situations where sharing or disclosing your information is required in order to offer you products or services you desire (e.g., a vacation package)
when companies or services providers that perform business activities on behalf of Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center require such information (e.g., credit card processing, customer support services, market research administration or database management services)
when a hotel or other property leaves the Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center system and access to your PII is necessary to facilitate business operations or meet contractual obligations
in the event Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center is merged or acquired by another company
to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law, a court order or a subpoena
in case of emergency such as to safeguard the life, health, or property of an individual
If information is shared as mentioned above, we seek to limit the scope of information that is furnished to the amount necessary for the performance of the specific function. Unless otherwise precluded by legal process, we require third parties to protect your PII and abide by applicable privacy laws and regulations.

CONSENT:
As part of our commitment to keep you informed, we may mail, e-mail, telephone, or contact you by other means to notify you of new Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center products and services, or upcoming Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center special offers, events, enhancements, or other relevant information that may be of interest to you. You may also receive mailings or other communications from carefully selected third parties. We offer you the option to decline any or all of these Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center communications by following the directions included in our e-mails or other communications, or by contacting Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center directly.

We would like to keep all of our guests and visitors informed and equally able to take advantage of the benefits offered by Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center and its strategic marketing partners. However, if you reside outside of the United States, certain data privacy regulations may require us to obtain your permission before we send you information that you have not requested from us.

In some cases your permission will be implied from the nature of the service requested or transaction undertaken. For example, Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center may collect and use PII that you volunteer, or behavioral data or information collected in the aggregate. In addition, your permission will be deemed given for communications from us that are necessary to fulfill transactions and services that you request.

In certain circumstances, we will seek your express permission when we collect information that is regarded under certain data privacy regulations to be sensitive in nature (e.g., information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or health conditions).

You may object to Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center disclosing your PII with third parties except when: (i) service providers have been retained to perform services on behalf of Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center; (ii) disclosure is required by law; (iii) disclosure concerns national, legal or public interest grounds; (iv) disclosure is necessary to protect the vital interests of the guest; (v) information has been collected from publicly accessible sources; (vi) disclosure concerns the retrospective processing of the information for historical, statistical or enhancement of guest experiences; or (vii) disclosure is authorized by a supervisory authority (such as a Privacy Commissioner, Data Protection Authority, or other similar authority).

ACCESS TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION:
To ensure that your PII is accurate and up to date, we encourage you to regularly review and update your information as appropriate (e.g., in the event your home or e-mail address changes, or you wish to add an additional method for us to communicate with you). If you are an WRO program member, you can review and update your individual membership profile online or with the assistance of a Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center customer service representative. Please note that in an effort to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of your PII, you may be asked to provide proof of identity (or other authentication materials) together with the completed access request form.

If, upon review, you wish to deactivate your WRO program member profile, or update your PII, we will endeavor to do so in a timely manner. Occasionally, information that you request to be removed will be retained in certain files for a period of time in order to properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot problems. In addition, some types of information may be stored indefinitely on “backup” systems or within log files due to technical constraints, or financial or legal requirements. Therefore, you should not always expect that all of your PII will be completely removed from our databases in response to your request.

Please refer to the appropriate contact information below to contact us about updating your communication preferences, removal from our marketing lists, or to submit a general question or request.

SECURITY SAFEGUARDS:
Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center recognizes the importance of information security, and is constantly reviewing and enhancing our technical, physical, and logical security rules and procedures. All Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center owned web sites and servers have security measures in place to help protect your PII against accidental, loss, misuse, unlawful or unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration while under our control. Although “guaranteed security” does not exist either on or off the Internet, we safeguard your information using appropriate administrative, procedural and technical safeguards, including password controls, “firewalls” and the use of up to 256-bit encryption based on a Class 3 Digital Certificate issued by VeriSign, Inc. This allows for the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption method used to help protect your data from interception and hacking while in transit.

ON-LINE TECHNOLOGIES:
Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center and its third party marketing partners may use cookies, invisible pixels, and web beacons to obtain information about you while visiting our web sites. A cookie is a very small text file that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center cookies assign your computer with a unique identifier, which in turn, becomes your identification card whenever you return to a Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center web site.

Cookies are designed to save you time because they help us to provide you with a customized experience without you having to remind us of your preferences each time you return to our web pages. Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center cookies are not designed to damage your files, nor can they read information from other files on your computer hard drive.

Cookies can also help us provide you with a personalized on-line experience in the following ways:

they remember your username and password for future visits so log-in is easier and faster.
they ensure you are provided with the appropriate frames and content.
they ensure you obtain all requested information.
they help us deliver communications that are relevant and responsive to your interests and location.
Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center cookies are limited to our web sites only, and are not designed to follow you when traveling on the Internet after leaving Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center owned web sites. We track the usage of our web sites in order to better meet your needs and to help make it easier for you to find information in the future. Please note that in addition to Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center cookies, various third parties may also place cookies on your computer’s hard drive. Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center is not responsible for the presence or absence of third party cookies, or for the technological capabilities or practices employed by third parties in connection with third party cookies.

If you would prefer not to have the benefits of cookies, your Internet browser can be adjusted to treat cookies in different ways. Depending upon the type of browser you are using, you may be able to configure your browser so that: (i) you are prompted to accept or reject cookies on an individual basis or (ii) you may be able to prevent your browser from accepting any cookies at all. You should refer to the supplier or manufacturer of your web browser for specific details about cookie security. However, you should also understand that rejecting cookies might affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our web sites and our ability to recognize your browser from one visit to the next.

Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center also uses invisible pixels, sometimes called web beacons, to count how many people visit certain web pages. Information collected from invisible pixels is used and reported in the aggregate and does not contain PII. Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center may use this information to improve marketing programs and content.

We also work with vendors and marketing partners to help deliver advertisements and personalized content that we believe will be of interest to you. These vendors and other partners include advertisers, advertising agencies, advertising networks, audience segment providers, data exchanges, analytics providers, and other similar providers. These partners and vendors use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your online activity (e.g., the sites and pages you have visited at Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center sites and other third party sites) in order to help Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center (and in some cases, third party advertisers) deliver personalized content and advertising to you while you are on Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center or other sites.

For example, if you go to a Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center site to look at our property or to book a vacation, you may later see an advertisement from us when you visit another web site. We may also engage one of these vendors to deliver our advertisements to consumers whose online behaviors on sites other than the Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center sites indicate that they may be interested in travel. In other instances, we engage in special arrangements with certain advertisers with which we think our web site visitors would have an interest. We allow these advertisers to deliver co-branded messages (e.g., Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center and the advertiser) directly to consumers who have visited our web pages. These types of co branded advertisements may appear on Wonder Valley Ranch Resort and Conference Center sites or on third party sites. In general, you can opt out of our vendors’ use of cookies to tailor personalized content or advertising to you by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
