Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Bat Cave Road Farm ("we," "us," or "our") runs the website at batcaveroadfarm.com. This policy explains what information the website collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only — not to anything that happens in person at the farm.

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so we can reply to you. You don't need to create an account to use this website.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, when you visit we automatically receive certain technical information:

• Usage and device data through analytics — pages you view, the approximate region you visit from, your browser and device type, and how you arrived at the site.
• Standard server logs kept by our web host — your IP address, the date and time of your request, and your browser's user-agent string. These help keep the site secure and running.

Cookies & analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects usage data as described above. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not run ads on this site.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on. Blocking these cookies will not break the website.

Third-party services

A few features rely on outside services, which have their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics and Google Maps (the map on our contact page) — handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
• Instagram feed on our gallery page — displayed through a third-party widget (Behold) that loads images from Instagram. Viewing it is subject to the privacy practices of Behold and of Instagram/Meta.

We don't control how these third parties process data once it reaches them.

How we use information

• To respond to messages and questions you send us.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the website.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
• To comply with the law when required.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers described above (such as our web host and Google) so they can perform their functions, or when we are required to by law or to protect our rights and safety.

How long we keep it

We keep contact-form messages for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and our records. Analytics data is retained according to Google's settings, and server logs are kept for a limited time by our host. You can ask us to delete a message you sent us at any time.

Your choices & rights

You can:

• Adjust or block cookies in your browser, or use the Google Analytics opt-out linked above.
• Ask us what information we have from a message you sent, or ask us to delete it, by emailing [email protected].

Depending on where you live, your state may give you additional rights to access or delete personal information. Contact us at the address above and we'll do our best to honor applicable requests.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through the website, including serving the site over a secure (HTTPS) connection. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here.
