Because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the Buttermilk Mountain Resort website, we automatically receive the Web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our website you visit while you are on the Buttermilk Mountain Resort website, the type of browser you use and the times you access our website. We use this information to try to understand our customers' preferences better and to manage the load on our servers, so as to improve our service and your experience with Buttermilk Mountain Resort.
Use of "Cookies"
"Cookies" are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognize you as a Buttermilk Mountain Resort website user if you return to the Buttermilk Mountain Resort website using the same computer and browser. We may send a "session cookie" to your computer if and when you log in to your Buttermilk Mountain Resort account (if applicable) by entering your e-mail address and password. These cookies allow us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you don't need to re-enter your password multiple times.
We may also use longer-lasting cookies to display your e-mail address on our sign-in form, so that you don't have to retype the e-mail address each time when you log in to your Buttermilk Mountain Resort account (if applicable). Our cookie files are encoded so that your e-mail address and other information can only be interpreted by Buttermilk Mountain Resort.

If you send us correspondence, including e-mails and faxes, we retain such information in our records. We will also retain customer service correspondence and other correspondence from Buttermilk Mountain Resort to you.

Questionnaires, Surveys and Profile Data
From time to time, we offer optional questionnaires and surveys to our users for such purposes as collecting demographic information or assessing users' interests and needs. If we collect personally identifiable information from our users in these questionnaires and surveys, the users will be given notice of how the information will be used prior to their participation in the survey or questionnaire.

C. Our Use and Disclosure of Information
Internal Uses
We collect, store and process your personal information on servers located in Canada.
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information to:
- provide the services and customer support you request;

- prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement;

Buttermilk Mountain Resort will not sell or rent any of your personally identifiable information to third parties. However, we disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action. As Buttermilk Mountain Resort may outsource some of its functions, including data storage and processing, to related entities or service providers in foreign jurisdictions those related entities or service providers may be required to disclose your personal information pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process which originates in that foreign jurisdiction. We also disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).
As with any other business, it is possible that Buttermilk Mountain Resort in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Buttermilk Mountain Resort, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended as described in Section A above. We also share your information with our parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries and joint ventures to help coordinate the services we provide to you, enforce our terms and conditions, and promote trust and safety.
