If you contact one of our customer care teams, we will collect information about the contact method, time and date, frequency, and reason to maintain a record of services given. We may also record the content of any queries and other messages you address to us through online forms and social media platforms (in which case we will also record your social media name or handle, so our customer care teams can identify you) in order to address them appropriately and efficiently. If you contact us by phone, we may record the conversation and/or keep a summary of the call so that we have a record of the call for training and service management purposes.
Information We Collect Automatically

We can make these services available to you in this way partially through support from our service providers. This requires us (or, in some cases, our advertising partners) to collect information from you when you use these services.

We will also collect technical information on how the relevant Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services you use are performing, such as crash reports and error logs.

Viewing Behavior Where the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway service you use allows you to interact with our video and other content, we will collect information on the content you view, how long you watch or interact with video and other content, the quality of the service you receive (e.g., buffering, load times), and generate predictions on the type of video you might enjoy. We will also collect information related to advertisements you have been shown or interacted with.

Public Information As permitted by law, we may also receive publicly and commercially available information about you from online or offline sources provided by our partners and service providers to supplement the information you give to us or that we collect automatically, including demographic information, purchasing data, membership or loyalty programs or information about advertisements you have seen or acted upon.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We will use the information we collect for a variety of purposes depending on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway services you use and how you use them. The legal basis on which we will use your information will also depend on the circumstances as further described below.
Provide the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services. We use the information you give us to provide you with the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services or products you request from us. This may involve using the information we collect on how you use our websites and the content you interact with to tailor your view of a service or personalize the content and features made available to you. It may also involve seeking to identify you or the various devices you use to access the relevant Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services so that you are consistently receiving the best services from us where and however you choose to use them. We will also use your information to provide you with any technical and other customer support you need, and send you service-related communications, including announcements and administrative messages. In most cases, we will use your information for these purposes where we have a contract with you to provide the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services or products. Where there is no contract, we will do so because it is in our legitimate interests that the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway services are offered to you at a high standard and to your satisfaction.
We may use your contact details (e.g., email address) to invite you to participate, if you agree, in surveys, panel discussions, and online forums to conduct market research to better understand what you like and don’t like about the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services, so that we can continue to improve them.
Improve our services and product offerings. We use information from your use of the relevant Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services to understand how you interact with the services, so we can improve them and develop new ones to meet our customers’ needs. We may also use this information to conduct market research, statistical analysis and for business planning. For example, we will use the information to identify which Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services are the most popular, so we can ensure that our IT infrastructure is sufficient to meet demand. We will also use the information to identify less popular Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services to ensure that we are reaching our target audience and promoting our services effectively. We will typically use your information in this way because it is in our legitimate interests to ensure that our Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services offer customers the best experience. When we use information for these purposes, we will implement appropriate safeguards. This might include, for example, removing direct identifiers (e.g., your name, email address and device ID) from the data set before carrying out research and analysis.
Personalize your experience. We may use your information to create consumer profiles and audience segments that can be used for targeted advertising and marketing on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services, on third party services, mobile apps and/or websites, and offline. We rely on a variety of technologies to do this, including cookies and other tracking technologies. You can opt out of our use of cookie-based tracking technologies at any time in the ways described in our Cookies Policy. If you opt out, you may still receive advertising from us and third parties, but it may be less interesting and relevant. We may also use technology (such as Facebook Custom Audiences) to deliver advertising to you on other sites and in mobile applications based on the email address or other personal information you provide to us, or through the use of information we receive from third parties, including consumer data resellers. We will typically do this because it is in our legitimate business interest to deliver advertising that is relevant for our users and will help us better understand our Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services users and customers.
Recognize you across different platforms and devices. Depending on the permissions you have granted through your settings, we will collect information from or about the computers, phones or other devices you use to access any Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services (regardless of whether you have logged into the service), such as your IP address, device ID, cookie or ad ID, and other unique user IDs that can be used to recognize you across platforms and provide you with a seamless user experience. We will use this device and browser information for analytics, ad reporting and for business planning. We will typically do so because we have a legitimate business interest in offering services that are easy and simple to use and, for some Palm Springs Aerial Tramway services.
Direct marketing. We may also send you newsletters and information about products, services and promotions offered by Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, our partners, and other organizations with whom we work. Typically, this will be where we have your consent or where it relates to a product or service we have provided to you. We will always respect your marketing preferences.
Deliver gifts and prizes. If you use Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Services to purchase and send gifts, we will use the additional information you provide about you and the recipients(s) to complete the transaction, arrange for delivery of the gift to the recipient (if you have asked for this), and to suggest other gifts we think you might be interested in. Similarly, where you have signed up to a competition and win, we will use your information to provide you with your prize, and may use some information for publicity purposes (where we have your agreement).
Prevent fraud and defend our legal rights. We may also use your information to prevent fraud or any other potentially illegal activities, protect the safety of our users and others, enforce our terms of service and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, requests from government bodies or courts, or respond to litigation. Typically, we will do this because it is necessary in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject (e.g., complying with subpoenas, search warrants and court orders).
We may combine all the information we collect from or receive about you for any of the foregoing purposes. Please see Your Rights and Choices section for further information.
Further, we may aggregate your information with other users’ information and use it for statistical analysis, research and reporting purposes. We may also share this information with our business partners. This aggregated information cannot be used to identify you or otherwise be traced back to you.
