The privacy of those visiting pierre.org is important to the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Pierre Business Improvement District #1 and its partners. To protect your privacy, no personally identifiable information is collected about visitors to the site unless voluntarily provided by the user as part of an application or activity on the site.

Collection of Information

pierre.org only collects the information needed to provide the information and functions on the site requested by an individual. “Personal information” refers to any information that would allow administrators of the site to personally identify the individual who provided the specific information. This information includes standard personal information such as an individual’s name, address or phone number, etc. This personal information is only collected when provided voluntarily for a specific transaction, additional information from pierre.org is requested by the visitor, or the visitor completes an activity that requests personal information.

pierre.org also uses Google Analytics to collect information about visitors’ experiences on the website and statistical performance of the website. This information is used to update the site and improve site performance. Additionally, the website collects demographic information including age, gender, interests and other information about users as a whole. This information cannot be used to identify a single individual on the site and, instead, is used as a way for pierre.org to understand how visitors are using and interacting with the site so they may provide better online experiences.

Use of Information

pierre.org uses personal information voluntarily provided by users to complete transactions and provide additional information as requested by the user. The information you voluntarily provided may be shared with other partners in the instance where the information requested or the transaction process must run through our partners to be completed. In these cases, individuals may receive the requested information directly from these partners. pierre.org uses information collected through Google Analytics (age, gender, interests) to optimize our website and improve our services. Website users can opt-out of Google Analytics services here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
