1. Introduction and Purpose
This Privacy Policy explains how ADAMS CANYON COTTAGE LLC, a company registered in the United States at 2989 Orson F Dr, Layton - 84040-7543, United States (US), collects, uses, stores and protects information when you visit our website, contact us or stay at the cottage. The website, its content and all related services are designed, developed and operated by the developer AdamsCottage. We take the protection of personal data seriously, and we follow the privacy laws and good practices that apply in the United States.
This policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how we share it and what choices you have. It applies to information collected on this website, through our contact form, by email, by phone and in person at the cottage. By using our website or booking a stay with us, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. We may update this document from time to time, so please check this page whenever you return to our site. The most recent version of the policy is always the one published on this page.
2. Information You Provide Directly
When you interact with the cottage, you may choose to give us information about yourself. This happens when you send us a message through the contact form, call us on the phone, email us at alert@adamscottage.lol or complete a booking with us. The information you provide may include your full name, your email address, your phone number, your mailing address, your travel dates, the number of guests in your party and any preferences or requests you share with us. When you book a stay, we may also ask for payment details, which are processed by a third party payment provider and are not stored on our own systems.
We only ask for information that we genuinely need to respond to you, manage your reservation and make your stay a good one. Some fields on our contact form are marked as required, such as your name, your email address and your message. Other fields are optional, and you are free to leave them empty. Please do not send us sensitive personal information, such as health records or government identification numbers, unless we specifically ask for it. If you share details about a special occasion or a dietary need, we use that information only to make your stay more comfortable.
3. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, some information is collected automatically by the web server and by common analytics tools. This includes your internet protocol address, the type of browser and operating system you use, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, the website that referred you to us and how long you stay on each page. We collect this technical information to keep the website working properly, to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the content and design of our pages.
This information is generally collected in an aggregated form that cannot be used to identify you personally. We do not attempt to match technical logs with the names, emails or booking records of individual guests. If you contact us after visiting the site, we treat your website visit and your message as separate records, unless you tell us otherwise. The technical data we collect is kept for a short period and is then deleted or made anonymous, so that we cannot build a detailed profile of any single visitor.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for clear and limited purposes. We use your contact details to respond to your messages, to answer your questions and to provide information about availability and rates. We use your booking details to manage your reservation, prepare your room, coordinate check-in and check-out times and handle any special requests you make. We use payment information only to process your payment through our secure third party payment provider.
We use technical website data to maintain and improve the site and to keep it secure. We may use your email address to send you a confirmation of your booking, a short thank you note after your stay or an occasional update about the cottage, but we will not send you marketing messages unless you have agreed to receive them. We do not use your information for any purpose that is not described in this policy, and we do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone for any purpose. Everything we do with your data is connected to serving you as a guest or answering your enquiry.
6. Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal information on grounds that are permitted by law. When you make a booking or request a service, we process your information because it is necessary to perform the agreement we have with you. When you ask us a question, we process your information because you have requested that we take steps before entering into an agreement. When we keep the website secure and functioning, we process technical data because we have a legitimate interest in running a reliable and safe service, and this interest is balanced against your rights and freedoms.
When we send you messages that you have chosen to receive, we process your information on the basis of your consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us or by using the unsubscribe link in the message. We keep records that we are legally required to keep, such as tax and accounting records, in accordance with the law. Where more than one legal basis applies, we rely on the basis that is most appropriate for the specific processing activity. We do not rely on consent where another basis is more suitable, and we never make consent a condition of providing a service.
8. Third Party Service Providers
We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to run the website and the cottage booking process. Our web hosting provider stores the files that make up this website. Our analytics provider helps us understand how visitors use the site. Our payment provider processes credit card and other payment transactions for bookings. Our email service helps us send and receive messages reliably. Each of these providers may process personal information on our behalf, but only for the specific tasks we ask them to perform.
We choose providers that have appropriate security measures and that agree to follow data protection laws. We review these providers from time to time, and we will replace any provider that cannot meet our standards. We are also careful about how messages containing personal details are handled by our own email systems, and we avoid sending sensitive documents as attachments unless it is strictly necessary. If we change providers, we will update this policy to reflect the change. We do not permit any provider to use your information for their own purposes.
9. Payment Information
Payments for stays at the cottage are processed through a secure third party payment provider. When you pay, your payment card details are sent directly to the provider over an encrypted connection, and we never see or store your full card number. The provider returns to us only the confirmation that the payment was successful, the amount paid and a reference number. We keep a record of the payment amount and the dates of your stay for our own accounting and tax records.
We do not store card numbers, security codes or other sensitive payment data on our website, our computers or our email systems. If a refund is due to you, we process it through the same payment provider and the funds are returned to the same card you used. If you have a question about a payment made to the cottage, contact us at alert@adamscottage.lol or call +18146214805, and we will help you resolve it. You should also review the privacy policy of the payment provider for details of how they process your data.
10. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy. Booking records, including your name, contact details and stay dates, are kept for a reasonable period so that we can answer questions about past stays, manage repeated guests and maintain our accounts. Accounting and tax records are kept for the period required by law. Website logs and analytics data are kept for a limited time and are then deleted or made anonymous.
Messages you send us are kept until the matter is resolved and for a short period afterwards, in case you have follow up questions. When we no longer need information, we delete it securely or remove the parts that could identify you. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so unless the law or a legitimate business need requires us to keep it. Our retention periods are reviewed regularly to make sure we are not holding data for longer than necessary.
11. Data Security Measures
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. The website is served over an encrypted connection, and we use strong passwords and controlled access for any systems that hold guest data. Access to booking records is limited to the people who need it to run the cottage. Payment transactions are handled by a certified payment provider using industry standard encryption, and our email accounts are protected against unauthorised access.
We are careful about how messages containing personal details are handled, and we follow good data hygiene, such as not leaving guest documents in public spaces and not sharing passwords. We review our security practices from time to time and update them when we identify ways to improve. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we work hard to keep your information safe. If we learn of a data incident, we will act promptly to limit the harm and will notify affected people and authorities as required by law.
12. Privacy for Children
Our website and services are intended for adults. The cottage welcomes families, but we do not direct our website at children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen without the consent of a parent or guardian. If a child under thirteen uses the contact form, we will only use the information to respond to the message and will not keep it for any longer than necessary.
If you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at alert@adamscottage.lol, and we will delete the information promptly. If a child between the ages of thirteen and eighteen uses our services, we ask that a parent or guardian review this policy and supervise the booking. We encourage parents to talk to their children about safe use of the internet and about sharing personal details online, and we support any family rules that keep younger guests protected while they enjoy the cottage.
13. Your Privacy Rights
You have certain rights over the personal information we hold about you. You have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You have the right to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete. You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances. You have the right to ask us to restrict how we use your information while a request is being reviewed. You have the right to ask us to give you a copy of your information in a structured format, where this is technically possible.

We will respond to your request within a reasonable time and within the period required by law. Before acting on a request, we may need to verify your identity to protect your data from unauthorised access. We will never charge you a fee for making a request, and we will not treat you differently because you chose to exercise your rights.
14. California Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act and related laws give you additional rights. You have the right to know what personal information we collect about you and how we use it. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, with certain exceptions. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, and we confirm that we do not sell personal information at all. You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights, which means we will not change the price of a stay or the quality of our service because you made a request.
To make a request under California law, contact us at alert@adamscottage.lol. We will verify your identity before acting on your request, and we will respond within the time limits set by law. You may also designate an authorised agent to make a request on your behalf, provided that the agent can show that they are authorised to act for you. We will keep a record of every request we receive and how we responded, so that the process remains transparent and fair.
15. International Data Transfers
ADAMS CANYON COTTAGE LLC is based in the United States, and the information we collect is stored on servers in the United States. If you visit our website or contact us from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may be different from the laws in your country. By providing us with your information, you understand that your information may be transferred to the United States for the purposes described in this policy.
When we transfer information internationally, we take steps to make sure that it receives a level of protection that is broadly similar to the protection it receives at home. This includes relying on service providers that follow recognised security standards and that agree to handle data responsibly. If you have questions about international transfers, please contact us, and we will explain the safeguards we use and the options that are available to you.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, the law or our practices. When we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of this page and, if the changes are significant, we will make reasonable efforts to draw your attention to them, for example by placing a notice on the homepage or by sending a message to guests who have stayed with us recently.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly so that you stay informed about how we protect your information. The most current version of this policy will always be available on this page. Your continued use of the website and our services after the policy is updated means that you accept the updated terms, and we will not reduce your rights under this policy without telling you clearly. If a change requires your consent under the law, we will ask for it before the change takes effect.
