Privacy and Disclosures

By Phalen Vitas — Sedona-based hospitality professional. Spotted something outdated? Tell us.

This site collects almost nothing, and this page spells out the “almost” — plus the one relationship you should know about before trusting our links.

What this site collects

There are no accounts to create, no comment forms, and no checkout — we sell nothing, least of all passes. That leaves four kinds of data. First, standard server logs kept by our hosting provider: IP address, browser type, and pages requested, retained for security and uptime purposes the way virtually every website’s host retains them. Second, any email you choose to send us. Third, your email address if you sign up for change alerts, described below. Fourth, anonymous usage measurement from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, described under “Analytics” below.

How correction emails are used

An email to the corrections inbox is used for two things only: replying to you, and verifying and fixing whatever you reported. Your address is not added to any list, and it is never sold, rented, or shared. When a correction is published on the update log, the entry cites the authoritative source that confirmed it — not you. Your name or email appears nowhere unless you explicitly ask to be credited.

The alert list

Five pages on this site carry a signup box for change alerts. If you use it, the form collects your email address and a record of which page you signed up from.

The address is used to send notifications when something covered here changes: pass prices, the list of fee sites, and closures affecting the places written up on this site. It is not sold, not rented, and not used for advertising. Signups are stored in this site’s own WordPress database.

You can unsubscribe at any time.

Ads, analytics and trackers

The core pass pages of this site — prices, where to buy, trailheads, rules — carry no advertising and no ad-network tracking code. There are no affiliate links anywhere on the site, from pass vendors or anyone else. Recommendations here cannot be bought, which is most of the reason this site is worth reading.

Analytics

Two measurement tools do run on every page, and this section exists because the previous version of this policy did not mention them. Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google’s Site Kit plugin, records page views and interactions — which trail-finder answers are chosen, which preview clips are played, which links to SedonaReady are clicked. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and we do not use it to show you advertising. Microsoft Clarity records anonymised session replays and heatmaps — where visitors scroll, click and get stuck — with text typed into forms masked by default. We never see a name or email address through either tool. Both can be blocked with a browser content blocker, and Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on stops Google Analytics specifically; what each company retains is governed by its own privacy statement.

The SedonaReady relationship

Stated plainly: RedRockPass.com and SedonaReady.com are run by the same small operation — one network, two sites with two jobs. The links between them are editorial cross-references, pointing you to the site better suited to a topic; no money changes hands for placement in either direction. No visitor data is pooled between the two sites beyond what any ordinary web link involves, and each site’s pages stand on their own sources. Links from this site to SedonaReady carry a plain referral tag in the address (utm_source=redrockpass.com, plus the trail or page you came from) so SedonaReady’s analytics can count how many visitors arrive from here; the tag says nothing about you.

Questions

Privacy questions go to the same inbox as everything else: sedonaredrockpass@gmail.com. If this policy ever changes materially, the change will be dated here and noted on the update log like any other correction.
