Privacy Policy

This Privacy Statement states how we, Green Country, Inc. (dba Green Country Tourism) herein referred to as “we,” collect, use, share and store information about individuals (“you”) and your interactions with the website, www.GreenCountryOk.com (“website”).

SUMMARY

We collect information directly from you when you send us email or photography, complete a form on the website and electronically when you browse our website.  This includes requesting literature and when you sign up to receive email from us.

The two types of information we collect are both anonymous and personal. Anonymous information is information that cannot be used to identify you individually and this is collected automatically. Personal information is information that can be used to identify you individually, such as your name, address, email address, or phone number. Your personal information is collected only when you give it to us. You can use our website without providing us with any information other than anonymous information we collect automatically.

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DIRECTLY

You provide your contact information (your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number) when you request a visitor guide, sign up for electronic communications, enter a sweepstakes or in other promotional activities. To assist us in understanding your interests more thoroughly, we may also ask for demographic information such as age group or information about your travel interests. By law we must ask prize winners for their social security numbers so that we can report their winnings to the IRS. When you share photos with us, we may obtain a credit line to acknowledge who owns the photo, to caption when and where the photo was taken.

We may use the information you provide to reply to your requests, to update and improve the content on our website or in our electronic communications, and to assist with marketing research. We use photos you share with us to promote vacations to the Green Country region.

INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT ELECTRONICALLY

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VISIT

Our website servers automatically record your visits to our website. Like all other website servers, ours compiles a log that records the date, time, browser (i.e., Chrome), device type (i.e., iPhone), operating system (i.e., Android) and originating IP address of each website page request. Your IP address is not personally identifiable information. 

We use cookies to collect the following: the website or ad you visited right before ours, the pages you visited on our website, and the time spent on each section of our website. We may also collect other data about your visit, such as search requests and results. This information is used to track usage of our website, to measure the number of unique visitors to the different sections of our website and to help us make our website more useful. The use of this information is called “analytics.” This information assists us in building interest profiles based on visitor page visits. 

“Cookies” are data files, which often include an anonymous unique identifier, sent to your hard drive from a website and can only be read by the party placing the cookie. They cannot erase or alter any of your data. When you visit the website again using the same browser (Google Chrome or Safari, for example), the cookie allows that website to recognize your computer. Cookies may store user preferences (such as your trip favorites) and other information and allow us to anonymously identify and track users as they move around our website. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some of our website features may not function properly without cookies. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. Accepting the cookies allows us to offer you the best experience on our website.
