Personal Information
Partners of Visit Tucson may receive the mailing addresses, phone numbers, and comments from leisure travelers who choose to provide that information. Your selections and personal notes on special features, such as the Partner Portal, are treated as confidential. On occasion, we may combine system-wide data to create aggregate reports with no individual identity data.
Meeting and Tour Planners
Information provided by meeting planners and other travel professionals is reviewed by Visit Tucson staff to follow up on requests and develop future business. Events booked in Tucson are usually printed in the Visit Tucson Convention Calendar unless that event is specifically marked confidential. If a meeting is confidential it is our policy not to list it on any distributed information. Visit Tucson also uses provided information for internal purposes such as e-mail contact. It is the policy of Visit Tucson to provide information received via RFPs only to local properties that fit the stated meeting specs.
Security of Personal Information
We exercise reasonable care to protect your nonpublic personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So while we strive to protect your non-public personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.
We may disclose information, including non-public personal information, in special cases when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with the legal process such as, but not limited to, situations when we are required to do so by federal, state or local laws and regulations or when we receive a subpoena or are ordered by a court to do so; (b) protect and defend our rights; or (c) act to protect the interests of our users or others. Additionally, we may, without notice to you, provide aggregate statistics about visitors to the website(s), such as volume, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personal information.
Transmission of Information
All personal data provided to Visit Tucson online will be handled in accordance with Visit Tucson Online Privacy Practices. Any other material, information, or idea you transmit to or post on VisitTucson.org by any means will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and may be disseminated or used by Visit Tucson or its affiliates for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products.
