Information collected automatically when you browse the Site, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the Site. This is typically collected through cookies and analytics tools (see “Cookies & Tracking” below).

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tools (such as Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics) to understand site traffic and improve the visitor experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us recognize repeat visits and measure how pages are used.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may limit some features of the Site, but the Site will generally still work.

6. Third-Party Links
The Site links to third-party sites — including sponsors, vendors, ticketing or merchandise platforms, the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Chamber of Commerce, and our social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
7. Children's Privacy
The Celebration itself is a family-friendly event, but the Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
