​

Any information that the customer provides, such as name, address, email, and ZIP code and phone number will be stored in a secure location and will be used only for those purposes stated. When you choose to submit such information, you are transferring that information into the United States of America and are consenting to such transfer. All data transferred will be/is encrypted (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, or HTTPS), through Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL.

​

Visitors can always refuse to supply personal identification information, noting that choosing to do so may prevent the user from engaging in certain site-related activities. Users of our services, such as e-newsletter subscriptions, may also withdraw consent for the use of their personal information at any time.

​

Discover Gila County participates in behavioral-based advertising and at its discretion may use  a third party technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of the Website so that they can provide adverting about products and services tailored to your interests.

User Data/Data Collection: Web Browser Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We automatically receive and collect certain types of information whenever a user visits the Website. For example, like many sites, Discover Gila County may choose to use "cookies" and web beacons and obtain certain types of information when your browser accesses our Website. When you visit our Website, you will be assigned a "cookie", which is a small text file generated by a site’s server and placed on a user’s hard drive. Cookies enable our Website and your browser to interact in such a way that the Website is able to present you with the most appropriate options and to customize services to your interests based on your previous use of the Website. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information in an area of the Website so that you do not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area.

​

User Data/Data Collection: Social Media (Features) and Widgets

​

Our website includes social media programs and features, such as UGC (user generated content), the Facebook Like button and widgets, and the Share button.

We provide information to investigate or prevent suspected illegal activities. Personal data may be shared in the following situations, as well:

​

To a third party with your prior consent to do so.
