Ordering Publications
The State of Wyoming does not collect information about you unless you voluntarily participate in an activity that asks for such information.

If you do not grant such permission, then your information will not be shared with any third-party organizations.
We know that people dream of coming to Wyoming for years, so to help our visitors plan we keep data on file for up to two years based on the most recent interaction or request of us. People who engage with us can request a portable copy of the data collected by the Wyoming Office of Tourism in a common format. Users may also request to have their data erased by submitting a formal request by emailing us at: tourism@wyo.gov.

Kids Page
We at the State of Wyoming are especially concerned about protecting children’s privacy. We hope parents and teachers are involved in children’s Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when children are asked to provide personal information online. We specifically ask children to get their parents’ permission before providing any information online, at our site or any other site, and hope parents will always be involved in those decisions. Most importantly, when children do provide information through the State of Wyoming website, it is only used to enable us to respond to the writer, and not to create profiles of children.

Users of this information are encouraged to call individual businesses to verify prices, amenities, features, dates, and all other important details before traveling.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of information, the Wyoming Office of Tourism has put in place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Electronic communications and Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to the Site may be read or intercepted by others notwithstanding the security precautions put in place by the Wyoming Office of Tourism. Sending a message or any kind of electronic information to the Wyoming Office of Tourism does not cause the Wyoming Office of Tourism to have any special liability to you or any entity related to you.
