We request information from the user on our order form (for instance, when a user orders a Visitor Guide or a Pass To Historic Fredericksburg). Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address). This information is used to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

Visit Fredericksburg Mobile App
The Visit Fredericksburg mobile app is provided by the City of Fredericksburg Economic Development & Tourism in partnership with Visit Widget.
With your permission, the app may access your device’s location to help you discover nearby attractions, restaurants, events, and other points of interest. Location information may also be used to improve app services, provide relevant recommendations, and support analytics. Location access is optional and can be managed through your device settings.
The app may collect information such as device identifiers, app usage data, saved itineraries, and preferences to help improve the visitor experience. If you create an account or voluntarily provide personal information, such as your name or email address, that information may be used to support app features and services.
If you choose to enable push notifications, the app may collect a device notification token to send you updates about local events, attractions, and other visitor information. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
Information collected through the app may be shared with Visit Widget and its authorized service providers for app functionality, analytics, and related services. The City of Fredericksburg does not sell personal information collected through the app.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Surveys & Contests
From time to time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our privacy page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
