Privacy Policy
Summary
WFRC collects limited information to operate and improve our website, and we do not sell your data. We use standard tools like cookies and analytics, and sometimes work with trusted service providers, to understand how our site is used and respond to requests. We manage this information in accordance with Utah state law.
Full Policy
This website is operated by Wasatch Front Regional Council (“WFRC”). This Privacy Policy Statement is provided by WFRC in compliance with Utah Code Section 63D-2-103. This policy is meant to guide further alignment with the State Data Privacy Policy as detailed in Utah Code Section 63A-19-102.
WFRC is committed to protecting online user privacy. We believe that greater protection of personal privacy on the Internet will protect users and also increase user confidence and ultimately their participation in online activities.
At wfrc.utah.gov, we intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. The purpose of this policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of the information. By contacting WFRC, you may:
- Access your personal data1 or your user data2
- Request to correct or amend your personal data or user data; or
- If you qualify as an at-risk employee3, request that your personal data be classified as a private record.
If you are concerned with the data privacy practices of WFRC, you may file a complaint with WFRC's CAO at wfrc@wfrc.utah.gov.
Statistical Analysis
We collect some information that is used for analysis and statistical purposes, which helps us design and manage our website. We automatically collect industry-standard, general information about your visit to our site, such as the date, type of browser used, and technical Internet protocol data. We collect this information about each user session from our user logs and refer to it for statistical purposes.
Online Communication Forms and Functions and Use of Cookies
We may use “persistent” cookies to collect permanent information. (Note: A cookie file contains unique information a website can use to track such things as passwords, lists of pages you’ve visited, and the date when you last looked at a specific page, or to identify your session at a particular website. A cookie is often used in commercial sites to identify the items selected for a specific shopping cart application. We also may use “non-persistent” cookies in applications (like an online job application) that keep track of a user and make it possible for you to complete a form or use a function, but this cookie disappears when you finish filling out an application or searching a database.
Personal data collected by WFRC is processed or used to carry out agency programs, provide services and technical assistance, and perform related administrative and operational functions. If you choose not to provide requested data, WFRC may be unable to process your request, accept your submission, or provide certain services or assistance.
WFRC does not sell user data.

Service Providers
We allow third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide industry-standard analytics services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your access to or use of our website and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information.
This information may be used by WFRC and these third parties to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our website and other websites, and better understand your online activity.

Disclosure to Third Parties
Email or other information requests sent to WFRC may be saved and used to respond to such requests. We may redirect your message to another government agency, service provider, or other person who is in a better position to answer your question.
Any personally identifiable information an individual provides to WFRC will be used solely by WFRC, its entities, and third-party agents with whom it has contracted to perform a function on its behalf unless the information is designated as a public record as authorized under the Utah “Government Records Access and Management Act” (GRAMA). All information collected during public comment periods is considered a public record. During public comment periods, WFRC may collect name and city of residence to provide relevant context for comments received.
Personally Identifiable Information is used by governmental entities to conduct official state business. A governmental entity may share Personally Identifiable Information with another governmental entity if it is designated as a record that is private, controlled, or protected as described in Section 63-2-206 unless such data sharing is expressly prohibited, authorized, or required by federal law, state law, or federal regulation.
Data Security and Quality
WFRC is committed to data security and the data integrity of Personally Identifiable Information available from or collected on our site. We have taken precautions to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, or alteration.
