Effective Date: April 1, 2026

South Main Social (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you visit our website.

Website: http://southmaingvl.com

By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly and information collected automatically.

When you sign up for our newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any information you choose to provide.

We also collect certain information automatically when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring links.

Comments & Form Submissions

When visitors leave comments or submit information through a form on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website administrators and visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality, remember user preferences, analyze traffic, and inform our marketing.

This includes tools such as Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and other third-party services that help us understand user behavior and measure advertising effectiveness.

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies typically last for one year.

Temporary cookies may also be set to determine browser compatibility, and additional cookies may be used when logging in or editing content. These do not contain sensitive personal data.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used.

Embedded Content

Pages on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the originating website.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to communicate with you, improve the website experience, and better understand how visitors interact with our site.

This includes sending newsletters, responding to inquiries, analyzing performance, and refining our marketing efforts.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, send emails, analyze performance, or support marketing efforts. These partners are required to handle your information responsibly.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely to help recognize and approve follow-up comments.

For users who register on the site (if applicable), personal information provided in user profiles is stored and can be viewed, edited, or deleted by the user (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. If you have opted into our email marketing, you can unsubscribe in the email footer at any time.

You may also request that we erase your personal data, except where we are required to retain it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, contact us at [email protected].

Age Restrictions

This website is intended for individuals 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If such information is identified, it will be removed.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through automated spam detection services.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
