Privacy Policy

Overview

Western Slope Events (operated by Bearded Devil Manufacturing LLC, "BDM LLC", "we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use this site, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

• Your IP address, browser/device type (user agent) and the page you requested, in routine server logs we use to run the site, keep it secure and block abuse.
• Google, our advertising partner, collects its own data from your browser when ads load. See "Advertising" below.

Provided by You

• Event, food-truck and yard-sale submissions: the details you enter, plus your name or email if you give one. For event submissions we also keep a scrambled (hashed) form of the IP address you submitted from, to prevent spam and abuse. We do not store the address itself.
• Newsletter: your email address, if you sign up. Every newsletter email has an unsubscribe link.
• Contact and advertising inquiries: the name, email, phone, website and message you send.

Advertising

We show ads from local businesses we work with directly, and we use Google AdSense to show ads from other advertisers. Sponsored listings are labeled.

Google AdSense is a third-party service. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Google and its partners may also collect your IP address, browser information and the pages you view.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads; they just become less tailored to you.

To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Cookies

We do not set any cookies ourselves for tracking or analytics. Our admin tools (staff only) keep a login token in the browser's local storage.

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may set or read cookies and similar technologies in your browser to serve and measure ads, as described under "Advertising". You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and use the opt-out links above. Blocking cookies will not stop the site from working.

How We Use Your Information

• To operate and improve the site
• To process event submissions and respond to inquiries
• To prevent abuse and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell your personal information for money. Google and other ad partners may collect data about your visit as described under "Advertising"; that is governed by their own policies.

Data Retention

Event submission data, including the hashed submission IP, is kept while the listing is in our system and removed on request. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact inquiries are kept for up to 12 months. Server logs are kept for a short time, normally under 30 days.

Third-Party Services

• Google AdSense: serves advertising and may use cookies. See "Advertising".
• Google Fonts: loads fonts from Google's servers, so Google receives your IP address when a page loads.
• Eventbrite, Ticketmaster and other event sources: event data comes from their public listings and feeds. Their own privacy policies apply on their sites.

Children

This site is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)

Colorado residents may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of their personal data, and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data and certain profiling. We do not sell personal data for money. Ads shown by Google may count as "targeted advertising" under Colorado law; you can opt out using the links under "Advertising". To make a request, email the address below. We will respond within 45 days.
