Privacy Policy

Overview

Native Ground Land Management LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, submit contact forms, or inquire about our services.

We respect your privacy and are committed to transparent data practices. This policy applies to data collection through our website only. If you enter into a service agreement with Native Ground, additional terms may apply to how we handle your information during and after project work.

When you submit our website contact form, we collect the information you provide, which typically includes:

• Name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Property location or project area

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and discuss potential services.

• Device type
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website or source
• General geographic location (city/state level)

This data is collected through Squarespace's built-in analytics and helps us understand how visitors use our site. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences and improve your experience. Squarespace uses analytics cookies to track site usage. These are non-identifying and do not store personal information such as your name or email address. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Platforms

We also maintain a presence on Google Business Profile and Facebook. Information you provide through those platforms is subject to their respective privacy policies, not this one. We do not control how Google or Meta use your data.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide through our contact form to:

• Respond to your inquiry
• Discuss your project or property needs
• Schedule an on-site consultation if appropriate
• Provide service information or estimates
• Follow up on your inquiry

We do not use your contact information for marketing emails, newsletters, or any purpose other than responding to your direct inquiry, unless you specifically request ongoing communication.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and inquiry data for approximately one year from the date of submission. After one year, we delete or archive this information unless we are in an active service relationship with you or are required to retain it for legal or business purposes.

If you hire Native Ground for services, we may retain project-related information for longer periods in accordance with business record-keeping practices and our service agreement terms.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share your information with subcontractors, equipment operators, or other service providers as necessary to complete work you have contracted with us to perform. These partners are required to maintain confidentiality and use your information only for the purpose of completing the work.

We may also share information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of others.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Contact form data is stored through Squarespace's secure servers. Email inquiries are stored in our Gmail account, which is protected by standard email security measures.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You provide information at your own risk.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Request access to the information we have collected about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Opt out of future communications by requesting removal from our records

To exercise these rights, contact us at nativegroundlandmanagement@gmail.com or (618) 977-0808.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including Google Maps, Facebook, and other external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
