Privacy Policy

Willamalane's Privacy Policy

As part of Willamalane's mission to deliver exceptional parks and recreation to enrich the lives of everyone, Willamalane offers various services, including this website and other electronic offerings (collectively referred to as the “Services”). Some services require you to provide personal information, such as your name and contact information, and some automatically collect information from your device, such as geolocation and browser information. This information is used to learn the number of users of our Services, where Service users are from, which parts of the Services are of most interest to Service users, and other factors that will help improve the Services.

As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” applies only to information, alone or in combination, that can identify you individually.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party site, application, or services linked through our website. Additionally, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party site or service linked to our website or recommended or referred by our website, our products or services, or our staff. Willamalane encourages you to be aware when you leave the services and to read the privacy notices and terms of use for each site that collects personal information. This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected by or on behalf of Willamalane.

Information Collected:

  1. Account Information

    When you (or a third party on your behalf) create an account with Willamalane, some of our services require you to provide us with at least your name, email address, and/or user ID, head of the household status, gender, phone number, address, birthday, and password. You may also provide us with additional demographic information. During this process, you agree to this Privacy Policy, which governs how Willamalane treats your information. 

  2. Payment Card Information

    When you utilize the Services, you may be asked to provide payment card details. To conduct online transactions such as program registration, purchasing event tickets, etc., Willamalane uses a third-party scheduling and registration software. All credit cards and other payment information transmitted will be protected by encryption technology, provided the user’s browser is properly configured and the computer is operating correctly. The encrypted information is shared only with Willamalane’s bank and a credit card clearinghouse, which are secured servers. The bank, the clearing house, and registration software comply and are certified annually with Payment Card Industry Data Systems Security (PCI DSS). No Willamalane taff has access to any payment card information. 

  3. Interacting with Willamalane

    You provide personal information when you interact with Willamalane. For example, when you contact Willamalane by email, Willamalane may collect your email address and any other personal information you provide. When you subscribe to one of our electronic newsletters, you must provide your name and a valid email address. If you participate in a Willamalane promotion, you may be required to provide certain contact information. You may also provide your address, telephone number, and organizational affiliation. If you apply for employment online, Willamalane will collect personal information such as your name, address, resume, and other employment-related information. However, Willamalane uses this information solely for consideration of your application.

  4. Using Web-related Services

    Willamalane collects certain information automatically when you use the services. For example, your device’s geolocation information may be collected. (Geolocation information is encrypted and generally not subject to public records requests.) Willamalane also receives the internet protocol (IP) address of your computer, smart device, or the proxy server or router that you use to access the internet, operating system details, type of web browser, mobile device details (including your mobile device identifier provided by your mobile device operating system) and search data.

  5. Cookies and Web Beacons

    Willamalane may automatically collect certain information through “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on a user's hard drive at the request of a website to enable the site to recognize users who have previously visited it and retain certain information, such as customer preferences and navigation history. If Willamalane combines cookies with or links them to any of the personal information, Willamalane would treat this combined information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions to learn about these functions. However, if your browser is set to reject cookies, some of the features of the Services may not function.

  6. Aggregate, Non-Personal Information

    Willamalane collects certain aggregate information, including statistical information about how users access and interact with the Services (e.g., which Service features and web pages are most accessed, how many people use our Services, which technical issues affect our users, etc.). This information cannot be used to identify you individually, though Willamalane may link this information to your Willamalane profile. This Privacy Policy does not limit how Willamalane may use aggregate or non-personal information.

  7. Information from Children Under 13

    Willamalane complies with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and the Federal Trade Commission’s rule interpreting COPPA (16 CFR § 512). The Services are not directed at children, and Willamalane does not knowingly collect any personal information through the Services from children under 13 years of age. If Willamalane learns that a child under age 13 has provided us with personal information, Willamalane will delete this information from our databases.
