Introduction
Turfmillan respects your privacy and is committed to safeguarding any personal information you share with us. This policy details what data is collected, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights you have regarding it.
Information We Collect
We collect information you enter voluntarily, such as your name, email address, or message content when subscribing to newsletters, leaving comments, contacting us, or submitting a contribution. We also collect technical and usage data automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referral site, time stamps, click behavior, and session duration. We use cookies and similar technologies to support these functions.
Purpose of Use
The information you provide helps us respond to inquiries, process submissions, send newsletters or updates you’ve opted into, personalize content, and manage accounts. Automatically collected data helps us understand how users interact with Turfmillan, analyze site performance, detect technical issues or misuse, optimize layout and content, and guide editorial decisions.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Turfmillan uses cookies, web beacons, local storage, and related technologies to support essential site functions, save your preferences, analyze traffic, and deliver relevant content or ads. Some cookies are strictly necessary for site operation; others are used for analytics or marketing purposes. You may disable or block cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may impair site features or your experience.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers supporting hosting, email delivery, analytics, advertising, or maintenance. These providers access only the data needed to perform their functions and are contractually required to protect it. We may also disclose data to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or enforce rights, safety, or property of Turfmillan or others.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational measures to guard your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. Data transmission is conducted over secure protocols (HTTPS) and we limit access to personnel or contractors who need the information for their roles. While no system is entirely secure, we continually review our processes to reduce risk.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it. Usage and analytics data may be stored longer in aggregated or anonymized form for trend analysis and reporting.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to, correction, deletion, or export of any personal data we hold about you. You may also object to or restrict processing under certain circumstances, and withdraw consent for communications at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@turfmillan.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe in line with applicable laws.
Children’s Privacy
Turfmillan is not intended for children under age thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without verified parental consent. If we become aware that data from a child under thirteen has been collected, we will promptly delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in practices, technology, or legal requirements. When updates occur, we will publish the revised version on the site with an updated effective date. Your continued use of Turfmillan following those changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
