Automatically Collected Information

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This data is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies. We only load Google Analytics if you have given your consent through our cookie banner.

Cookies

Our Site uses the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies — Required for the Site to function. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — Set by Google Analytics to help us understand site usage. These are only loaded with your consent.
• Consent cookies — A single cookie named cookie_consent that stores your cookie preference for 365 days.

You may update your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data about how visitors interact with our Site. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Privacy Policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google reCAPTCHA

Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect against spam and automated submissions. reCAPTCHA operates under Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information and sends it to Google for analysis. This data collection is used to improve reCAPTCHA and for general security purposes.

Airbnb

The Loft at LJ Ranch is listed on Airbnb. If you book through Airbnb, your booking and payment information is governed by Airbnb's privacy policy, not ours. We only receive information from Airbnb necessary to fulfill your reservation.

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. We do not store form submissions in a database — inquiries are handled directly via email.

Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to Google's data retention settings, which we have configured to 14 months.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@leplattspond.com. We will respond to verifiable requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Colorado residents may have additional rights under the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA). We do not sell personal data and do not process data for targeted advertising.

Our Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our Site, please contact us so we can delete it.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information submitted through our Site, including CSRF origin validation, rate limiting, input sanitization, and bot detection. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
