Information Collection
Shady Acres is the sole owner of the information collected on this web site. Shady Acres collects information from our users at several different points on our web site. The information (name, address, phone number, email address, and business characteristics) entered by individuals or businesses that subscribe to our site is maintained in our server database. The email addresses of those who subscribe are stored in a database that is used only to communicate new offers, specials, and information to the subscribers.

To serve you faster and with better quality, we use "cookies" technology. Cookies are small text files, usually stored on a user's computer hard drive, which enable a web site to "personalize" itself for each user. We use cookies to store visitors preferences, record session information, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our site, record past activity at a site in order to provide better service, customize web page content based on visitors' browser type or other information that the visitor sends. No third party has access to the information we collect this way, but if you’d rather we didn't use cookies when you visit us, you can set your browser not to accept cookies. If you do disable cookies in your browser, you may not be able to take advantage of certain personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our web site.

Personally Identifiable Information
Shady Acres will not share or sell any personally identifiable information we gather to any company, organization, or person outside of the organization.

If our information practices change at some time in the future we will contact you before we use your data for these new purposes to notify you of the policy change and to provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses, we will post the policy changes to our web site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses.

Security
Information transmissions over the Internet cannot be 100% secure. However, Shady Acres places a high priority on security and privacy by limiting access to our site to only authorized users who have valid passwords. In addition, Shady Acres maintains a firewall to protect our database from third parties.

Shady Acres takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information via the web site., their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as address, phone number, e-mail address, or credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
