1. What information do we collect?
SanMiguelRanch.com obtains information from and about you in number of different ways, including: (a) General information. Some information (“General Information”) is gathered automatically when you access the Website. This General Information (which includes information about your computer such as your browser type, operating system, IP address or ISP domain name, and navigation/click stream data such as what pages are visited and how long various features are used ) does not identify you personally and will not reveal or be associated with the personal identity of you or your business, without your prior approval. You may also decide to input data while using certain interactive features at our Website such as queries submitted to a search engine. This information will not reveal or be associated with the personal identity of you or your business, without your prior approval.

(b) Personal information. Some information that is identifiable as yours (your “Personal Information”) is not gathered automatically when you access the Website. If you wish to provide Personal Information, you must do so voluntarily, and you may do so in a number of different ways. The following are some of the kinds of Personal Information that you may allow SanMiguelRanch.com to gather:

(i) Registration/Membership information. When you register at the Website, you will be asked for certain Personal Information, such as your name, your street mailing address, your email address and other information. In addition to “real world” contact information, we may ask you to enter a Website ID, password or similar data when you access our Website, so that we can verify your right to access certain portions of our Website.

(ii) Demographic and Personal Data. We may request information about your business demographics and information concerning the purchasing preferences of your business or customer base.

(c) Use of “Cookies”. Cookies are small data files stored by your browser in your computer when you visit our Website. We may use cookies to make our Website easier to use and to improve Website performance. Cookies permit us to recognize users and avoid burdensome and repetitive requests for identical information. We mostly use “session cookies” that are automatically deleted after each visit. Cookies stored by our Website cannot be read by other Websites. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can change your browser settings to refuse cookies, if you like.

2. How do we use the information we collect?
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with an efficient and customized experience while using our services. We use the information and data collected from our customers and other visitors to our Website to: (a) complete and support the online activity for which you supplied the information; (b) administer the technical and operational aspects of our Website; (c) evaluate, improve and enhance the Website for the benefit of all users; (d) contact you regarding updates to our Website or to promote a product or service we believe may interest you; and (e) support business purposes that we believe are reasonable and consistent with fair business practices.

We also use your information to determine other information that will be delivered to you that may be targeted to your interests, as well as determining what periodic marketing and promotional notices to provide you with. You may, at any time, choose to not receive email communications from us by “opting out” of specific mailing lists and services by means of sending an email to SanMiguelRanch.com Customer Service at: info@SanMiguelRanch.com.

3. How do we share information?
Third party service providers that participate with us in the provision of the Website’s services to you may be collecting your Personal Information solely for the purpose of providing and enhancing the service, and under no circumstances will such third parties utilize your information for any other purpose without your prior consent. In addition, your information may be disclosed to third parties on an aggregate basis and in a manner that does not reveal the personal identity of you or your business.

4. Data Retention and Protection.
Generally, we retain user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements. For example, we may shorten the retention period for certain data if needed to free up storage space, and we may lengthen the retention period for other data if needed to comply with privacy standards or applicable law. We establish and maintain reasonable practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Website reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data being transmitted.

5. How can you modify your information?

7. Other Limits to Your Privacy and Confidentiality.
We may disclose information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary for us to protect or enforce our legal rights, or when we believe that the law requires it, and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services.
