B. Additional Agreements. For certain Services (including, but not limited to, promotions and resort-related activities), you may be required to enter into additional agreements with Boyne. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to limit or change in any way the scope, terms, requirements, and applicability of such separate agreements, including all releases of liability they may contain. If you have entered into agreements with Boyne in addition to these Terms, such agreements (including the Terms) shall be read harmoniously in a manner that maximizes the enforceability of each of the provisions of those agreements. - PRIVACY & SECURITY
In agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you have had a full and fair opportunity to read our Privacy Policy which is incorporated into these Terms.
OUR SITES AND APPS MAY CAUSE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, YOUR LOCATION, AND YOUR ACTIVITIES ON THE SITES AND APPS TO BE TRANSMITTED BY YOUR WEB BROWSING SOFTWARE (OR OTHERWISE) TO THIRD PARTIES ACTING FOR OR ON BEHALF OF BOYNE, INCLUDING TO THIRD PARTIES WHO PROVIDE ADVERTISING, MARKETING, AND ANALYTICS SERVICES TO BOYNE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS, YOU CONSENT TO THESE COMMUNICATIONS. - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
On occasion, a third party may be necessary to help resolve Disputes that may arise between you and Boyne. This section of the Terms & Conditions (the “Dispute Resolution Agreement”) limits you and Boyne to resolving Disputes between them by individual arbitration (or small claims court, if the Dispute qualifies), unless the Dispute is expressly excluded from the arbitration requirement.
FOR ALL DISPUTES REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED, YOU AND BOYNE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR COMPARABLE COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING, AND TO HAVE THOSE DISPUTES DECIDED IN COURTS OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
“Dispute” and “Disputes” shall be interpreted in the broadest possible sense to include, without limitation, any and all complaints, claims, and controversies of every kind, including, but not limited to, statutory, regulatory, constitutional, contractual, common law (including torts of any kind), and tax-related (including erroneous sales tax collection) causes of action, and encompassing fully all those involving allegations of negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, and the alleged breach of any duty whatsoever.
The following Disputes are excluded fully from the requirement to arbitrate and the limitation to small claims court:
— Disputes involving or arising in any way out of bodily injury or death. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms, these Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of the state where such bodily injury or death occurred, as to which you consent to personal jurisdiction, and shall be resolved exclusively under the laws of that state without giving effect to any choice of law principles.
— Intellectual property disputes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Terms, Disputes seeking to protect, vindicate, or enforce in any way your or Boyne’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, claims involving copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade dress, shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts of the State of Michigan, as to which you consent to personal jurisdiction.
A. GENERAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS
The following general provisions apply to all Disputes which are subject to the requirement to arbitrate (“Arbitrable Disputes”). These provisions are intended to be read harmoniously with the rules governing individual and mass arbitration set forth below. To the extent that there is any conflict between these general provisions and those specific rules, the specific rules will control.
(1) Persons and Entities Covered. The obligation to arbitrate extends to all agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, employees, service providers, and others acting on behalf of you or Boyne, or anyone on whose behalf you use the Sites and Apps or obtain Services. It also extends to Disputes in which claims of any kind are threatened or asserted against any corporations and other business entities related in any way to Boyne (including, but not limited to, parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations) and which arise out of your use of the Sites and Apps and the Services.
(2) Governing Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms & Conditions, all arbitrations are governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and not any state or local laws, and you and we agree that it should be interpreted in a manner that protects and preserves the obligation to arbitrate in strict accordance with this Dispute Resolution Agreement.
(3) Opt-Out Rights. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration requirement by sending a written notice expressly stating “I opt out of arbitration” or similar words by email to arbitration@boyneresorts.com, or in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested to Boyne Resorts, 3951 Charlevoix Avenue, Petoskey, MI 49770, within thirty (30) days after you first agree to the Terms & Conditions. Opting out has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have or may enter in the future with Boyne, nor does it eliminate or change any other rights or requirements of the Terms & Conditions. Nor does opting out preclude you from later agreeing to an arbitration agreement with us.
(4) Mandatory Informal Settlement Process. For Arbitrable Disputes only, you and Boyne must participate in an informal settlement process (the “Informal Settlement Process”) as follows before any arbitration can be commenced:
a. The party initiating any Dispute (“Claimant”) must send a signed, written statement (“Claim Statement”) to the other party (“Respondent”). The Claim Statement must include the Claimant’s name, mailing address, email address, and a concise description of the Dispute, including any monetary demand. Claim Statements submitted by you must be sent by email to Boyne at dispute@boyneresorts.com, or by certified mail, return receipt requested to Boyne Resorts, 3951 Charlevoix Avenue, Petoskey, MI 49770.
b. If the Claimant is represented by an attorney, the Claimant’s attorney must also sign the Claim Statement under oath or penalty of perjury, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1746 or similar state laws, certifying compliance with all obligations to conduct a reasonable investigation into the factual and legal basis of any claim and to represent that any claim asserted has a legal and factual basis under the standard that applies to representations to the court under Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (or any successor provision in the event of an amendment to that rule) (a “Rule 11 Certification”).
c. Once a properly completed Claim Statement and any applicable Rule 11 Certification are received, the Claimant and Respondent shall for a period of sixty (60) days seek to resolve the Dispute amicably. Any applicable statutes of limitations for the Dispute will be stayed during this period.
d. Failure to complete in good faith the Informal Settlement Process as to any Arbitrable Disputes is a material breach of this agreement. No arbitration may be filed nor any arbitrator appointed or arbitration fees imposed on the Respondent until this process has been completed. If an arbitration is commenced in violation of this requirement, the Claimant shall indemnify Respondent for all fees or costs of arbitration imposed on Respondent.
(5) No Class Actions. Except as expressly permitted under the Mass Arbitration Rules (set forth below), you and Boyne agree that all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved individually and not via a class or consolidated proceeding of any kind, even if the requirement to arbitrate is found unenforceable for any reason. However, nothing restricts the settlement of Disputes by mutual agreement, including through court-approved class action settlements.
(6) Changes. If we change the arbitration requirements of this Dispute Resolution Agreement after you last accepted the Terms & Conditions, you can reject those changes by sending written notice within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such changes to arbitration@boyneresorts.com, or sending such a notice to us by certified mail, return receipt requested to Boyne Resorts, 3951 Charlevoix Avenue, Petoskey, MI 49770. The notice must include your full name, email address, and mailing address, and state specifically that you reject the arbitration-related changes. By rejecting these changes, you agree to arbitrate any dispute based on the arbitration requirements that were in effect when you last agreed to the Terms & Conditions. The rejection of these changes shall have no effect on any other provisions of the Terms & Conditions. Nor does rejecting arbitration changes preclude you from later agreeing to those changes
(7) Improperly Commenced Arbitration. If either you or we believe the other party has started or is about to start any arbitration in violation of this Dispute Resolution Agreement, you and we have the right to seek a court order to stop that arbitration, and any arbitrations related to or giving rise to such a court action shall be stayed and no arbitration fees or costs imposed until the court action (including appeals) is concluded fully and finally. Upon a finding that a Dispute was threatened, filed, or maintained in knowing violation of this Dispute Resolution Agreement or to exert undue pressure, or is frivolous, a court may award the costs and fees of arbitration and any associated litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert fees, to the other party.
(8) Survival and Severability. This Dispute Resolution Agreement shall survive and remain in effect even after your relationship with Boyne has ended. If any part of the Dispute Resolution Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in force and apply fully.
(9) Delegation. Disputes concerning whether (1) you and Boyne have entered a valid and binding agreement to arbitrate or (2) a Dispute is subject to or excluded from the requirement to arbitrate shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction, not by an arbitrator. All arbitrations where such issues are raised by either party shall be stayed until a court action (including appeals) is concluded fully and finally. All other issues shall be resolved by an arbitrator.
(10) Offer of Settlement. In any Arbitrable Dispute between you and Boyne, the Respondent may choose to make a written settlement offer at any time after the receipt of a Claim Statement. The offer amount and its terms will not be revealed to any arbitrator until after a final award (which includes any dispositive decision). If the value of that award is less than the value of the settlement offer, or if the award favors the Respondent, the Claimant shall pay the Respondent’s arbitration fees, legal and expert fees, and costs which were incurred or imposed after the offer to fullest extent allowed by law.
(11) AAA Arbitrations. If the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) is for any reason whatsoever unavailable, unable, or unwilling to handle an arbitration assigned to it under this Dispute Resolution Agreement (including as a result of any aspect of this Dispute Resolution Agreement which does not meet with the AAA’s approval), or if the AAA for any other reason whatsoever declines to handle an Arbitrable Dispute assigned to it by these provisions, you and Boyne must negotiate in good faith to choose an alternative arbitrator to conduct the arbitration in accordance with all of the terms of this Dispute Resolution Agreement
B. ARBITRATION RULES
The arbitration process will vary depending on whether an Arbitrable Dispute is pursued individually or as part of a Mass Arbitration (as defined below).
(1) Individual Arbitration Rules. All individual arbitrations (Disputes involving a single individual or entity as Claimant) shall be before a single arbitrator of the AAA. Arbitrations handled by the AAA and involving consumer disputes as defined by the AAA will be governed by this Dispute Resolution Agreement and the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol (the “Consumer Rules”) (https://www.adr.org/consumer) in effect on the date when the Dispute arose (each a “Consumer Arbitration”). Where the Consumer Rules do not apply, the arbitration shall be governed by these Individual Arbitration Rules and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (each a “Commercial Arbitration”) together with the AAA Optional Appellate Rules (available here: https://www.adr.org/commercial). If there is a conflict between this Dispute Resolution Agreement and any applicable AAA rules and protocols, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Agreement shall control. In any Commercial Arbitration, the prevailing party shall recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and costs, including those incurred in collection. In any Consumer Arbitration, the prevailing party shall only be able to recover attorneys’ fees where and as expressly allowed by applicable law.
a. For consumer arbitrations where Disputes (including counterclaims) are under $25,000 USD each, the case will be decided without appearances, based only on submitted documents (including sworn statements) under R-36 of the Consumer Rules. However, the arbitrator may permit reciprocal, reasonable discovery (strictly limited in nature and proportionate in scope and cost to the Dispute and which does not impose undue cost or hardship on either of the parties), and may also allow for a non-evidentiary hearing, which shall be by phone or video conference, unless, in the arbitrator’s sole discretion, fairness requires an in-person hearing and the cost of an in-person hearing is reasonable compared to the Dispute amount.
b. An arbitration before the AAA can be requested by mail or online through the AAA’s website (https://www.adr.org/Support). A copy of the arbitration demand shall be sent to arbitration@boyneresorts.com, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested to Boyne Resorts, 3951 Charlevoix Avenue, Petoskey, MI 49770. Upon request by either you or Boyne, any attorney representing the party demanding arbitration shall provide to the Respondent and the AAA a Rule 11 Certification.
(2) Mass Arbitration Rules. If 20 or more claimants (each a “Mass Arbitration Claimant”) or their lawyers or representatives file or disclose to us an intention to file demands for arbitration raising substantially similar Arbitrable Disputes, and counsel or representatives for the claimants are the same or coordinated across these Disputes (a “Mass Arbitration”), these special Mass Arbitrations Rules alone shall apply instead of the Individual Arbitration Rules set forth above or any Mass Arbitration rules published by the AAA or any other arbitration organization. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency, or difference between these Mass Arbitration Rules and the Individual Arbitration Rules, above, the Mass Arbitration Rules shall control.
a. Any challenge to these Mass Arbitration Rules, including any disputes concerning whether all or any aspect or requirement of the Mass Arbitration Rules are or is valid or enforceable, shall be resolved exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction, not by any arbitrator. No arbitrator shall be appointed nor any arbitration costs or fees assessed on you or Boyne, and all pending arbitrations stayed, until such court action (including appeals) is concluded fully and finally.
b. Each Mass Arbitration Claimant must comply with the Informal Settlement Process set forth above as a mandatory condition precedent to commencing or proceeding to the mandatory mediation and post-mediation arbitration provided for under these Mass Arbitration Rules. The Informal Settlement Process may be completed collectively through the lawyers or representatives of the Mass Arbitration Claimants. In addition to a Rule 11 Certification, lawyers representing the Mass Arbitration Claimants shall provide a certification, under oath, they have the full authority to arbitrate, mediate, and settle all Disputes raised by each of the Mass Arbitration Claimants.
c. If the Informal Settlement Process fails for any or all of the Mass Arbitration Claimants, counsel for Mass Arbitration Claimants and counsel for Boyne will then each select not more than two (2) non-settling Mass Arbitration Claimants (totaling not more than four (4), with an equal number selected by each side) for initial arbitrations (the “Initial Arbitrations”) intended to inform and benefit settlement discussions between the parties in addition to resolving those Disputes. No other arbitrations shall be commenced by the Mass Arbitration Claimants until after the completion of the Initial Arbitrations and the mandatory mediation described below. Each Initial Arbitration will be decided under the Individual Arbitration Rules, above, with each case assigned to a different arbitrator. The Initial Arbitrations must be conducted, and final, reasoned decisions issued, within one-hundred twenty (120) days of their commencement.
d. Upon completion of all Initial Arbitrations, the parties’ counsel or representatives shall participate in good faith mandatory mediation for a period of sixty (60) days seeking to resolve all unresolved Disputes of Mass Arbitration Claimants (the “Mandatory Mediation”).
e. To prevent the Disputes asserted by the Mass Arbitration Claimants from expiring, all statutes of limitation for those Disputes will be stayed during the Informal Settlement Process, the Initial Arbitrations, and the Mandatory Mediation.
f. Mass Arbitration Claimants whose Disputes remains unresolved at the conclusion of Mandatory Mediation (the “Unresolved Disputes”) shall pursue their Disputes in small claims court (if eligible) or through a documents-only arbitration with FairClaims. The applicable FairClaims rules shall be either the Small Claims or Fast Track rules depending on the Dispute amount, as set forth here https://www.fairclaims.com/ (or any successor website on which FairClaims posts its applicable rules) in effect at the time their Dispute arose. Decisions from the Initial Arbitrations can be presented in FairClaims arbitrations by Mass Arbitration Claimants or us for their persuasive value but shall not be binding. Discovery obtained in the Initial Arbitrations may also be used in connection with any small claims court case or FairClaims arbitration. If FairClaims is unavailable or unable to hear the Unresolved Disputes, the parties shall use their best efforts to find a substitute arbitration organization to hear the Unresolved Claims through a process having comparable cost, speed, and efficiency to FairClaims.
g. Each requirement of these Mass Arbitration Rules is material and mandatory. If any of these requirements is determined to be void or unenforceable for any reason in a court action (including appeals) that is concluded fully and finally, or if the parties are unable to find a substitute arbitration organization if required to do so under paragraph (f), above, the Unresolved Disputes shall be resolved in the state and federal courts of Michigan, and not through arbitration, and you agree to the personal jurisdiction of those courts for all such actions. Boyne shall have the right to request such a case be removed to federal court if it so qualifies. If any court action allowed for and commenced under this provision is pursued as a class action, the class shall be limited to the Unresolved Disputes. A ruling that the Mass Arbitration Rules or any aspect of them are invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other parts of the Terms & Conditions including the Dispute Resolution Agreement. This Dispute Resolution Agreement shall survive any termination, expiration, or nullification of any or all the Terms & Conditions. - SITES AND APPS AVAILABILITY AND ACCURACY

For more information on your ability to opt out of these communications, see “Your Privacy Rights,” below.

Cookies And Pixels
We use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons or similar technologies to provide the functionality behind our Websites, to better understand the ways our Websites are used, and to serve personalized advertising messages and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We may also use clear pixels or similar technologies in emails to track deliverability and open rates. Moreover, information concerning visitors to our site and their activities on the Websites is sent by your browsing software to third-party service providers and online advertising networks using JavaScript, clear pixels, and/or similar technologies
There are three primary types of cookies:
- Session cookies are specific to a particular visit and carry information as you view different pages so you don’t have to re-enter information every time you change pages. Their goal is to make individual web pages load faster and improve website navigation. Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically in a short period of time like after you leave the website or when you close your web browser.
- Persistent cookies remember certain information about your preferences for viewing the website and allow Boyne Resorts to recognize you each time you return. Persistent cookies are stored on your browser cache or mobile device until you choose to delete them, and otherwise typically delete themselves at expiration.
- Third-party cookies are placed by a party other than Boyne Resorts and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and across multiple sessions. They are usually a type of persistent cookie and are stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each third-party cookie. Most notably, third-party cookies allow third-party servers to show you items that you’ve shown interest in, either directly or indirectly.
Cookies store data about your use, but they are helpful because they allow us to help our Websites function and customize your experience.
Some devices or web browsers can be configured to signal a user’s privacy preferences to websites. You are welcome at our Websites if you use this software but we will not be able to offer you our personalized services. It is our intention to respect customers’ valid choices regarding their personal information, whether communicated by completing the Privacy Request form, by adjusting your preferences around online data collection via our “Cookie Preferences” tool, or by communicating an opt-out preference via our Do Not Sell or Share link or a recognizable user-enabled opt-out signal that meets the requirements of provincial and state law. At this time, our Websites are configured to recognize the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal as a request to opt out of the sale of personal information, and users who visit our Websites with the GPC enabled will have all but essential cookies blocked on our Websites. We do not respond to other types of “do not track” signals. You may change your cookie preferences at any time by visiting our “Cookie Preferences” tool.
Chat Technology:
Our site uses both an automated customer service and a live customer service chat feature to respond to customer inquiries. These chat features collect personal information, including but not limited to email address and the content of chat communications. Conversations with both our automated and live chat features are recorded for quality assurance.
Who Has Access To Data / Data Sharing
Boyne Resorts limits handling of Guest data to certain personnel at our resorts who need access to personal information for purposes of their job duties, including information technology team members that maintain the systems that contain Guest data, marketing team members that are responsible for communicating information to our Guests, Guest service team members that are responsible for delivering products and services purchased, and business analysts that are responsible for financial reporting and/or other analysis to ensure the health of our business.
This data is shared internally between our resorts and properties, and it may be shared with third parties that we have partnered with to deliver a shared product or service, such as the Ikon Pass provided by Alterra. For purposes of providing a service or enabling our business, your personal information may be shared with service providers that help us: (a) manage data for marketing purposes, (b) offer lesson management and post lesson report card delivery, (c) support our Websites, (d) operate our mobile apps, (e) deliver lodging Guest services and messaging support, (f) operate surveys, and (g) market and advertise our products and services.
Shippers: We may use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders and a credit card processing company to bill for our products and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personal information for any other purpose.
Guest contact database management: Boyne Resorts may use a third party to keep Guest contact information current and validate or improve the accuracy of the Guest profile that Boyne Resorts maintains. In addition to providing other information, this third party may validate mailing addresses, including review of change-of-address forms submitted to United States Postal Service or Canada Post. Boyne Resorts’ Guest database is not updated following this process.
Session Replay: Our Websites also make use of session replay analytics tools to help us reconstruct the user experience on the Websites. These tools collect data on our behalf. We use them to troubleshoot issues with and improve user experience on our Websites. The tools provide insight into what works and what doesn’t work for users of the Websites, and it allows us to, for example, identify and repair technical errors such as broken links that impair Website functionality. We may also use the tools to authenticate users, enable Website features, prevent fraud, and implement security measures. The tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information related to user behavior on our Websites, such as mouse movements, clicks, user inputs, scrolling, access times, visit duration, pages viewed, IP address (including location), operating system, page reloading, crash data, performance data, and other diagnostic data. The tools also collect name, email address, phone number, and physical address.
Analytics Providers: Our Websites use analytics tools such as Firebase Google Analytics, Google Analytics 4, SiteImprove, and Crashlytics. These tools use cookies to help the Websites analyze how you use the Websites. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the Websites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to these entities and stored in aggregate form. In turn, they may use this aggregated information in order to evaluate use of the Websites, compile reports on the Websites’ activity and other services relating to Website activity and usage. You can learn more about how Google Analytics and how to opt out here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Social Media: Our Websites may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between our Websites and your account on a third-party website or application. For example, we may provide links on our Websites to facilitate sending a communication from our Websites, or we may use third parties to facilitate emails, posts or Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube or Pinterest postings. If you follow Boyne Resorts or any of our brands on social media sites, we may collect personal information when you communicate with us within the social media sites or use functionalities, plugins, widgets, or tools from social media platforms or networks in connection with our Websites (e.g., to log into an account, or to share inspiration, finds, purchases, and other content with your friends and followers on social media) or when you click “Share This” or “Like” buttons. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party site providing information, including personal data such as first and last name, email address, mailing address.
Business Transition: In the event Boyne Resorts experiences a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, personal information of Guests will likely be among the assets transferred. Notification of such change in ownership or control of Guest information will be posted on our Website, www.boyneresorts.com.
Legal: We reserve the right to disclose personal information as permitted or required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our company.
With Your Consent: We also may share or disclose your personal information with your consent or at your direction.
Data Security
We are committed to maintaining appropriate physical, electronic, technical, organizational, and administrative measures to safeguard the security of your personal information. We have developed databases that hold Guest information, with best practices used to secure and protect that data from malicious attempts to obtain all or parts of that data. There are always weaknesses in any technology solution, so we cannot guarantee that we are able to protect that data against all malicious attacks, but we unwaveringly strive to do so.
These databases are hosted on secure servers that we maintain at our properties, or on secure servers maintained by third-party providers that we have partnered with to help us provide a great Guest experience.
Child Privacy
Our Websites and mobile apps are not intended for people under the age of eighteen (18) years. If you are under the age of eighteen (18) years, you may use these Websites and mobile apps only with the involvement and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you are under the age of eighteen (18) years, do not use or provide any information on these Websites or on mobile apps. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a person under the age of eighteen (18) years without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.
Third Parties
Our sites may include links to third parties, and once a visitor leaves one of our Websites, we cannot control or access the information that third party collects. We allow third-party businesses (including restaurants, retail stores, lodging, and other service providers) to operate at some of our resorts and they may independently collect information about you through the course of any business interactions that you have directly with them. Once you leave our Websites or are redirected to a third-party website, application, or business, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Websites’ Terms. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies or practices of third parties.
Your Privacy Rights (U.S.)
The laws of several states provide residents with certain consumer privacy rights. We currently allow all our U.S. customers the ability to make the requests identified below, regardless of state of residency, but reserve the right to prioritize requests received from residents in states where these options are required by law.

Statement re the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. Boyne Resorts limits its collection and use of sensitive personal information as follows:
Should you disclose any information regarding allergies while dining, lodging, or otherwise enjoying the offerings at our resorts, this information may be considered sensitive personal information under certain provincial and state laws. Please be advised that the use of any such data will be used by Boyne Resorts solely to facilitate your visit with us, and not for any marketing purposes.
If you choose to enable location tracking on Spotlio, Boyne Resorts will receive geolocation data as to your location within our resorts. If you further choose to opt-in to geofenced location marketing through the use of that data, Boyne Resorts will send you alerts as to events and offers specific to nearby areas to you. Both geotracking through your Spotlio app and geofenced marketing offers require your explicit opt-in consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Additionally, any season pass will include a photograph of you for verification purposes in order to prevent improper use and avoid security incidents. Use of these photographs is limited for these business purposes and the pictures will not be used for marketing purposes.
Finally, Boyne Resorts may collect personal information, including sensitive personal information, pertaining to the children of resort guests if provided in connection with child care services and snowsports classes.
- Request to Know and Access: You have the right to know whether we are processing your personal information and request that we disclose a report of your personal information, including the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have about you, the categories of sources from which the personal information has been obtained, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information (as well as which categories of information were disclosed). Residents of Oregon and Minnesota have the additional right to receive a list of specific third parties, other than natural persons, to which the business has disclosed personal information. Residents of Delaware, California, New Jersey, and Maryland have the right to obtain a list of the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed your personal information. Any such data will be provided in a format easily understandable to the average consumer, and to the extent technically feasible, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. For additional information and to request your report, you may complete the Privacy Request form, email us at privacy@boyneresorts.com, or you may call us toll-free at 844.207.8317.
- Request to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. Due to the nature of some systems and maintaining data integrity within those systems, the outright removal of Guest information may not be possible. In these cases, every attempt is made to anonymize or pseudonymize the data so that it is not identifiable. For additional information and to request deletion of your personal information, you may complete the Privacy Request form, email us at privacy@boyneresorts.com, or you may call us toll-free at 844.207.8317.
- Request to Correct/Rectify: You have the right to request that we correct, rectify and/or update any of your personal information that is incorrect, incomplete or out of date.

For additional information and to request that we correct, rectify and/or update your personal information, you may complete the Privacy Request form, email us at privacy@boyneresorts.com, or you may call us toll-free at 844.207.8317.
How To Exercise Your Privacy Rights
When you contact us to exercise your rights to know, delete, or correct your personal information, we will first verify your identity by asking you to confirm a few pieces of information that we have in our records, such as your email address, phone number, or address. If you are making a request to correct involving these items of information, we will work with you to find another means of verifying your identity that will not involve the subject matter of the request to correct. With a request to correct, we may also require information from you to demonstrate that our information is incorrect. This information shall only be used and/or maintained by us for the purpose of correcting your personal information and to comply with any record-keeping obligations we may have under the law. If you make a request online to delete your personal information, we may need to confirm your request before we delete your information.
You may use an authorized agent to exercise your opt-out rights described above. So as to ensure your privacy, we reserve the right to deny a request from an authorized agent who does not submit proof that they have been authorized to act on your behalf. For avoidance of doubt, parents may make a verifiable request on behalf of their minor child to exercise any consumer rights described in this Policy.
You may make a verifiable consumer request up to two times within a 12-month period, without charge. After that threshold, we may charge you a reasonable fee per request if permitted by applicable law. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to your request to delete or correct or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
We try to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt, and an opt-out request will be processed within 15 business days. If we require more time to respond to a verifiable consumer request, we will inform you of the reason and extension time period (up to 90 days). The response we provide will also explain any reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
You have a right to appeal any denial of a consumer right. If your request is denied in whole or in part, you have the right to appeal your decision within 30 days. We will review and respond to your request within 45 days, and if your appeal is denied, we will provide you with an explanation of our reasons and a description of any further rights you may have at that time.
Right to Equal Service: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights as a consumer under any applicable laws. Unless permitted by law, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any legally-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
If you are just looking to opt out of marketing emails, you may alternatively follow this process:
You can opt out of receiving marketing messages from any of our resorts at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email we send you.
