Privacy & Accessibility Policy
LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Seven Rivers Soil Cooperative is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring accessibility for all users. This statement outlines our practices regarding data collection, use, and disclosure, as well as our efforts to make our website accessible to people with disabilities.
Personal Data We Collect & Why We Collect It:
When you use our website contact form, we collect the information you provide so we can respond to your inquiry. Contact form submissions are stored in the website's database and also emailed directly to the form's owner (the site author who published the page). This email includes the submitter's IP address, timestamp, name, email address, website, and message.
We use third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, to monitor and analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects data about site usage, which Google may share with other services and use to personalize ads. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about your site activity with Google.

We prioritize your privacy and limit access to our website and any collected data to only our Web Developer and select authorized personnel. We minimize data collection and avoid retaining unnecessary records. To ensure data accuracy, prevent unauthorized access, and protect your information, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards.
