We may collect personal information when you interact with our Site or otherwise provide it. This may include the registration information you provide when opening an account, transaction information, information you provide in public forums, and information you provide when you use our Site or when you link your profile on a third-party site or platform with an account you maintain with us, or usage, viewing any technical data provided when you use our Site.

We use the personal information you provide to deliver the programs, products and services that you request, or to process purchases or reservations you have made on our Site. For example, we use the information you provide when you make a reservation to reserve the type of room you requested at the hotel or resort you selected. If you join a loyalty program, we use your personal information to administer the program. Information you provide to us on our Site will be stored in an online profile we create for you, to enable us to better meet your needs and understand your preferences.

We also use your personal information for security and fraud prevention purposes; to better understand our guests; to improve our programs, services, and Site; and to better market and advertise our programs and services, as you submit to our Site and technological systems.
At our Site, you can submit information about other people, for example, passholder names and dates of birth. We use this information only to provide the product requested. We will not add that person’s information to our contact lists.
We may combine information you have provided to us on our Site with information you have provided to us offline, and we may store this information together in your online profile. For example, we may combine data automatically collected when you use your season ski pass at one of our resorts with your online profile. This enables us to better understand and meet your needs when you visit our resorts.

From time to time, we may supplement the information you give us with information acquired from other trusted sources. For example, we may supplement your profile with demographic and preference data or we may correct mailing addresses by using public sources.
