GatherGrounds Privacy Policy: How We Collect & Protect Data

Who we are

Our website can be found through this link: GatherGrounds Resorts

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: Automattic Privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Mobile Policy

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Analytics and Third-Party Services

We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our website. These services may collect information such as page visits, time spent on the site, general geographic location, and the type of device used. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users. The purpose of collecting this data is to improve website performance, enhance user experience, and provide content that is most relevant to our visitors.

Data Security

Protecting your information is important to us. While no system is completely secure, we take commercially reasonable measures to safeguard data provided through this website. This includes technical precautions such as encryption and access restrictions, as well as administrative policies that limit who may view personal information. Users are encouraged to also take steps to protect their information, including keeping login credentials private and ensuring that personal devices are secure.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that personal data from a child has been submitted, we will take steps to promptly delete such information. Parents and guardians who believe their child may have provided personal information through our site are encouraged to contact us so that we may resolve the matter quickly.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or our business practices. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the “last updated” date will be revised accordingly. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to remain informed about how we handle personal information.

Contact Information

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, how your information is used, or if you wish to exercise any rights under applicable privacy laws, please contact us using the information provided on our website. We take privacy matters seriously and will make every effort to respond promptly.

We are closed for the 2025 season, and will reopen on May 1st, 2026. Reservations for 2026 can be made now by calling the office or using our online booking system.
