WHAT INFORMATION
DO WE COLLECT? PSAA only collects
personally identifiable information that is voluntarily submitted to us. We
never require that personally identifiable information be provided in order
to gain access to this Web site. When such information is requested, you will
be told the purpose for which such information is to be used.
From time-to-time, we may also ask for information from visitors via surveys,
polls or contests. Participation in these surveys, polls or contests is
completely voluntary. You have the choice of whether or not to disclose your
personal information. We will not require you to disclose more information
than is reasonable necessary to participate in the activity on the Web site
as a condition of such participation.
Information requested concerning surveys, polls or contests may include
contact information (such as name, e-mail and shipping addresses), and
demographic information (such as zip code and age level). Contact information
will be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey or poll information
may be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site, or the programs offered by PSAA or any of its member ski areas.
Information gathered from polls and surveys are only for internal use of PSAA
or its member ski areas. If sample answers to polls or surveys are posted on
the Web site, then no identifiable information is ever included.
As with most Web sites, certain non-personally identifiable information is
recorded by the standard operation of our server. Such information may
include: the name of the ISP from which a visitor accesses the Internet, the
date and time a visitor accessed our Web site, the Internet address of the
Web site from which a visitor entered our Web site, and where a visitor goes
after leaving our Web site. Again, information that would personally identify
a visitor is known only when it is voluntarily submitted.
How do we use the
INFORMATION? We do not share any
personally identifiable information about our visitors with anyone outside of
PSAA or its member ski areas. We may use this information to notify you
occasionally of important functionality changes on the Web site, services,
and special offers or information we or our member ski areas think you will find
valuable. We may also use personally identifiable information for internal
site administration purposes, to respond to specific inquiries initiated by
visitors, and to comply in good faith with a law or legal action as directed
by a court, regulatory agency or other entity acting with governmental
authority.
The non-personally identifiable information we collect when you use this Web
site may be used for internal review purposes in the aggregate, to measure
and monitor the use of our Web site and to improve its content. For example,
we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to
administer our Web site. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad
demographic information. There also may be times when we share aggregate information
about our visitors (for example, the percentage of male and female visitors
to our Web site) with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other
third parties in an effort to customize or enhance the content and
advertising on our Web site for our visitors.

WHAT SECURITY MEASURES ARE USED TO PROTECT MY INFORMATION? PSAA employs appropriate security measures to
protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
However, as no on-line data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure,
we cannot warrant or guarantee the security of any information you transmit
to us at our Web site. If you have questions about the security of
information at this Web site, contact us at psaa@uplink.net.
PARENTAL CONSENT POLICY Children's
Privacy PSAA is committed to protecting the on-line privacy of children.
Therefore, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act,
we will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from
children under the age of 13 without first obtaining parental consent.
To participate in the 4th Grade Snowpass Program, we need to know such
information as your child's name, age, date of birth, parent's name, address,
telephone number and e-mail address. This personally identifiable information
will be provided to us in the application that may be downloaded or printed
from this site, and then mailed to us. You acknowledge by the return of the
application to us by mail that your child may have secured it on your behalf,
but that you signed it as your child's parent or guardian, and consent to our
use of the personally identifiable information therein.
Children Under the
Age of 13: Important Notice Prior
to providing any personally identifiable information by participating in any
activity offered through our Web site, children under the age of 13 must have
a "Parent" or "Legal Guardian" complete and return a
Parental Consent Form by regular mail to: PSAA, 5142 State Street, White
Haven PA 18661; or by fax to (570) 443-0388. This consent form states that
the "Parent" or "Legal Guardian" may revoke the consent
by completing the Revocation of Parental Consent Form and sending it to the
same address or fax number.
In the event children under the age of 13 are eligible, with parental
consent, to participate in surveys or contests or other activities offered
through our Web site, we will only collect and use information (e.g., e-mail
address, mailing address, name, age) to the extent that it is necessary to
administer the activity. We will never require that a child disclose more
information than is necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of
participation.
We will not disclose information collected from children under the age of 13
to third parties.
We encourage parents to monitor and supervise the on-line activities of their
children and to consider using parental control tools available from on-line
services and software manufacturers that help guarantee a child-friendly
on-line environment. These tools help prevent children from disclosing their
name, address, and other personal information without parental permission.
WHAT ABOUT THE LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES? You have probably noticed that our Web site contains links to other
Web sites on the Internet. Note that Web sites and addresses change quickly,
and PSAA cannot always guarantee the content of every Web site for which we
provide a link. Nor is PSAA responsible for the privacy policies or content
of those other Web sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Web
site, and to read the privacy policy of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information.
