Privacy Policy
Site Operator
Operated from: Florida, United States
Effective Date: December 15, 2025
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the practices of the operator of this website and related online services (the "site operator," "we," "us," or "our") regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information from users of our website and related services. For purposes of anonymity, the legal name of the site operator is not used in this Policy, and the term "site operator" is used instead. The site operator is based in and operates from the State of Florida, United States, but this Policy also provides specific disclosures for individual consumers residing in California who use or visit our Services, as described below.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this Policy is to provide consumers with a comprehensive description of our online and offline information practices and to inform you of the rights you have regarding your personal information. To the extent applicable, this Policy is intended to satisfy the privacy notice and disclosure obligations of certain California laws for individual consumers residing in California, including the California Online Privacy Protection Act, California Business and Professions Code sections 22575 through 22577, and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, California Civil Code section 1798.100 et seq.
This Policy applies to all information collected through our website, located at owlsheadfalls.com, our mobile applications, and any other online services we provide (collectively, the "Services"), regardless of where you are located, with additional rights and disclosures for California residents as described in this Policy. This Policy outlines the types of data we collect, how we use and protect that data, and the circumstances under which we may share it with third parties. The Effective Date of this Policy is identified at the top of this page, and we will post any material changes to this Policy in a conspicuous manner on the homepage or first significant page of our website, or otherwise make the updated Policy reasonably accessible through our Services, consistent with applicable California law. This Policy is made available on or through our homepage or first significant page and through other reasonably accessible locations within the Services so that it is conspicuously posted for users who visit or use the Services. Nothing in this Policy is intended to create rights or obligations that exceed those required by applicable law, and this Policy is not a contract with any user.

-
Service Providers and Contractors (Category of Third Party): We may share your information with third-party service providers and contractors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, and customer service. We enter into written contracts with these parties that, among other things, prohibit them from selling or sharing your Personal Information and from retaining, using, or disclosing it for any purpose other than performing the specific business purposes specified in the contract or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Our service providers and contractors may engage subcontractors, who will be bound by similar contractual obligations.
-
Affiliates and Related Entities (Category of Third Party): Where applicable, we may share your Personal Information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and other related entities, in which case we will require them to honor this Policy and to use your Personal Information only as allowed by applicable law and for the purposes described in this Policy or a substantially similar privacy policy.
-
Business Transferees (Category of Third Party): In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be disclosed or transferred to a third party as part of such a transaction. Any successor or assign will be required to use your Personal Information only in a manner that is consistent with this Policy or with a privacy policy that affords materially similar protections to your Personal Information, to the extent required by applicable law.
-
Governmental and Legal Recipients (Category of Third Party): We may disclose your information if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal process or government inquiry, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order. We may also disclose information as we deem reasonably necessary to protect and defend our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information (California): For purposes of California law, we do not sell or share Personal Information, and we have not sold or shared Personal Information in the preceding 12 months, as the terms "sell" and "share" are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended. If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and provide any required notices and rights, including the right of California residents to opt-out of such sales or sharing, as described in the "User Rights and Choices" section.
Data Retention and Security
We implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information we collect, including operational, administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. We collect only Personal Information that is relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used and periodically review our security measures in light of applicable legal requirements and industry practices.
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes described in this Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection, taking into account the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods may differ for different categories of Personal Information. When the information is no longer reasonably necessary for its specified purpose or required by law, we will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or otherwise dispose of it in a secure manner. This includes responding to a verifiable request to delete a user’s Personal Information, subject to the legal exceptions described in applicable law and in the "User Rights and Choices" section of this Policy.
While we take measures to protect your Personal Information, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of our systems or of information transmitted over the Internet.
User Rights and Choices
Under applicable law, and only to the extent such laws apply to the site operator and the Services (including, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, together the "CCPA"), certain rights may be available to individual residents of California with respect to their Personal Information. Depending on where you live, you may have similar or different rights under your local laws, and the description below does not create any rights beyond those provided by applicable law.
These rights are subject to important limitations and exceptions under applicable law and, where available, may include the following:
-
The Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose the Personal Information we have collected about you, including (where applicable) the categories of Personal Information collected, the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing it, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it.
-
The Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of Personal Information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law (for example, where we need the information to complete a transaction you requested, to detect security incidents or fraud, to comply with a legal obligation, or for other limited purposes allowed by statute).
-
The Right to Correct: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing.
-
The Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: To the extent we ever sell or share your Personal Information (as those terms are defined under California law), you have the right to direct us at any time not to sell or share your Personal Information. We do not currently sell or share Personal Information for purposes of California law.
-
The Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: If we use or disclose your sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted by applicable California regulations, you have the right to direct us to limit such use and disclosure, subject to the limits and exceptions provided by law.
-
The Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment from us for exercising any of your privacy rights under applicable law.
To exercise any available privacy rights (for example, if you are a California resident), please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at villagemgr@owlsheadfalls.com or by using any other method we may make available from time to time. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity (and, where applicable, the authority of your authorized agent) before processing your request and will not require you to create an account solely to submit a request. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law (generally within 45 days, subject to any permitted extensions), and, where we deny or partially deny a request, we may explain the reasons and identify any applicable exception.
Do Not Track and Browsing Information
California law requires us to disclose how we respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual's online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Therefore, our Services do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor the development of DNT standards and may adopt a standard once one is created. When you use our Services, certain Third Parties (such as analytics or advertising providers) may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services, as described in this Policy.
You may, however, be able to exercise choice regarding the collection of information by managing your browser or device settings. In addition, where required by California law, we will treat a valid opt-out preference signal as a request to opt out of certain processing (such as any sale or sharing of Personal Information, if applicable) for that browser or device, in accordance with applicable law. For more information on how you can use an opt-out preference signal, please refer to your browser's settings or help documentation.

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, and count visits, and some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or accessed by Third Parties such as analytics or advertising partners.

Some of these cookies and similar technologies are provided by Third Parties, and information collected through them may be disclosed to those Third Parties as described in this Policy, including in the "Sharing and Disclosure" and "Do Not Track and Browsing Information" sections. You may also be able to exercise certain rights regarding information collected through cookies and similar technologies (such as rights to know, delete, or opt out of certain uses of Personal Information) as described in the "User Rights and Choices" section above, to the extent those rights are available to you under applicable law.
You can typically manage cookies through your browser's settings. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services. For more information on your choices regarding the use of your information for interest-based advertising and other tracking, please see the "Do Not Track and Browsing Information" and "User Rights and Choices" sections above.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. Under California law, operators of online services with actual knowledge that a minor is using their service must permit the minor to remove, or request and obtain removal of, content they have posted. We do not knowingly sell or share the Personal Information of consumers under 16 years of age.
If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take steps to delete that information, subject to any legal requirements to retain it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
Cross-Border Transfers
Your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than your own, including the United States, where the site operator is located and where our servers and central databases may be operated. The data protection and other laws of these countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country.
By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, and to the processing of your information in accordance with U.S. law and, for California residents, applicable California privacy laws. We will take steps we consider reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Information.
