How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment or rating, 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.

Discover Lake Whitney will not retain your Personal Data for any period of time longer than is permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, in consideration of any restrictions or requirements to destroy Personal Data after a reasonable period following the time that any such information is no longer needed for a business purpose under the SHIELD Act or any other applicable federal or state law).

We collect demographic data from Google’s interest-based advertising with Google Analytics. Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using the ads setting.

Security of Personal Information

We exercise reasonable care to protect your non-public personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So while we strive to protect your non-public personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via email. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.

We may disclose information, including non-public personal information, in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with the legal process such as, but not limited to, situations when we are required to do so by federal, state or local laws and regulations or when we receive a subpoena or are ordered by a court to do so; (b) protect and defend our rights; or (c) act to protect the interests of our users or others. Additionally, we may, without notice to you, provide aggregate statistics about visitors to the website(s), such as volume, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personal information.

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and Discover Lake Whitney does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13. If Discover Lake Whitney obtains actual knowledge that it has obtained Personal Data about a child under the age of 13, that information is immediately and permanently deleted from our records.
