www.CottontailAcres.com is an informational and entertainment site. Here at www.CottontailAcres.com, protecting your private information is very important to us. This Privacy Policy is intended to let you know how, why, and when we collect your personal information.
Personal Information
We don’t go out of our way to collect personal and identifying information about you. You are the only person who can voluntarily give us your information. We ask that you be very careful about giving information about you or your children anywhere on the site. If you decide to give out personal and identifying information about you or your children, please know that other people can use the information however they choose to.
There are a couple of times when we might ask you for personal information on the site. These times include when you register for an account to comment on an article and when you send us an email.
Even though we work hard to help protect your personal privacy, no method is 100% reliable. It’s important to take steps on your end to protect yourself from having your private information fall into the wrong hands.
We don’t intentionally collect, either online or offline, personal information from kids under the age of thirteen. Anyone under the age of eighteen who wants to visit the site is required to have permission from a parent or guardian.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may use third-party services such as Google AdSense that customizes ads displayed on your computer and Google Analytics that collects, monitors, and analyzes site data to show us which pages on the site are the most popular and to keep track of site traffic. Your personal information may be shared with third parties like these in order to help us improve our site and make it more enjoyable for you. There may be other third parties that we also share your information with. An example would be if you buy something on the site, we may have to share your information with a third party so they can arrange delivery of the item to you. Third parties are not allowed to use your personal information other than for statistical analysis, to provide customer support, or to arrange for delivery of a product you bought.
When required to do so, we will provide your personal information and site history, without notice to you, when required by law enforcement agencies, in order to protect the public and the safety of site readers, as well as to protect our rights as owners of the site.
Collected Information
In order to improve the site and determine which pages are most popular, we track the pages you visit using your computer’s IP address. This not only helps us improve the site, but it also helps us customize advertising content for you within the site.
Automatically Collected Information
Some information is automatically collected by the site from your computer. This includes, but is not limited to, your IP address and the address of websites that referred you to us. We like knowing how our readers find us and this is a great way of gathering that information. It also helps us with analytical statistics so we know which pages are most popular so we can be sure to routinely add new content to those pages.
Use of Cookies
