This Privacy Policy explains how Kantuckee collects, uses, and shares information when you visit kantuckee.com, submit a form, leave a comment, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with the website.

Information you provide

You may provide information directly when you submit the contact form, leave a comment, subscribe through a newsletter or email form, request a correction, report a copyright or accessibility concern, or communicate with Kantuckee for another reason.

Depending on the feature used, this information may include your name, email address, website address, message, subscription preferences, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through the website.

Information collected automatically

When you visit Kantuckee, the website, hosting provider, security systems, advertising services, and embedded third-party services may automatically receive technical information such as:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device information
  • Operating system
  • Referring page or website
  • Pages requested
  • Date and time of access
  • Approximate location derived from an IP address
  • Cookie or similar-technology identifiers
  • Advertising impressions and interactions
  • Diagnostic, security, and error information

This information may be used to operate the website, prevent abuse, diagnose technical problems, understand general site usage, and support advertising.

Contact forms

When you submit the contact form, Kantuckee receives the information entered into the form, including your email address and message. Form submissions may be stored in the website database and transmitted through an email-delivery system.

Contact information is used to review and respond to the inquiry, investigate corrections or complaints, protect the website, and maintain reasonable records of correspondence.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, WordPress may collect the information entered into the comment form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information for moderation, security, and spam detection.

An anonymized value created from an email address may be supplied to the Gravatar service to determine whether the commenter uses that service. If a comment is approved, the commenter’s profile image may become publicly visible. Gravatar is operated by Automattic and is subject to Automattic’s Privacy Policy.

Comments and associated metadata may be retained indefinitely to preserve the discussion, recognize follow-up comments, prevent abuse, and maintain editorial records.

Newsletter and email subscriptions

If you submit an email address through a newsletter or subscription form, the address may be used to send requested updates. Subscription information may be processed by Kantuckee’s website, email-delivery provider, or newsletter provider.

You may unsubscribe using the link provided in an email when available or by contacting Kantuckee. Operational messages concerning a request you submitted may still be sent when necessary.

Cookies and similar technologies

Kantuckee and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, local storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Keep the website functioning
  • Remember comment or privacy preferences
  • Protect forms and prevent abuse
  • Measure advertising delivery and performance
  • Limit how often an advertisement appears
  • Support personalized or non-personalized advertising
  • Diagnose errors and improve performance

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality.

Where legally required, nonessential cookies and similar technologies should be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained through the site’s consent controls.

Google advertising

Kantuckee uses or may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to deliver, limit, personalize, and measure advertisements; detect fraud and abuse; and produce advertising reports.

Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies in your browser or use web beacons and IP addresses when advertisements or advertising code are served.

Google explains how it uses information from partner websites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

You can learn more about Google advertising cookies and manage advertising preferences through:

Turning off personalized advertising does not necessarily eliminate advertising or all advertising cookies. Non-personalized advertisements may still use information such as the page being viewed, general location, browser information, and identifiers used for fraud prevention, frequency limits, and aggregated reporting.

Embedded content and external links

Articles may include embedded videos, maps, images, social-media content, reservation tools, or other material provided by outside websites.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the provider’s website directly. The provider may collect information, use cookies, associate activity with an existing account, or monitor interaction with the embedded material.

Kantuckee also links to government agencies, attractions, lodging providers, retailers, reservation services, and other external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links

Some links may be affiliate links. If you follow one of these links or complete a transaction, the merchant or affiliate network may record the referral using cookies or similar technologies. Kantuckee may receive a commission without increasing your purchase price.

See the Affiliate Disclosure for additional information.

How information is used

Kantuckee may use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website
  • Respond to questions, corrections, and complaints
  • Moderate comments and prevent spam
  • Send communications requested by a visitor
  • Improve content and website functionality
  • Investigate technical problems or misuse
  • Meet legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • Display and measure advertising
  • Document permissions, copyright requests, and editorial corrections

When information may be shared

Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, email-delivery, spam-prevention, security, backup, advertising, and embedded-content providers.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process; protect the rights, property, or safety of Kantuckee, its users, or others; investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or policy violations; or complete a merger, reorganization, financing, or transfer of website assets.

Kantuckee does not sell contact-form or newsletter email addresses as a standalone marketing list. Certain advertising activities may nevertheless be classified as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws.

Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including correspondence, security, editorial records, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and backup requirements.

Comments and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to suppression records needed to honor an opt-out. Contact messages may be retained while an inquiry is active and afterward for reasonable administrative or legal recordkeeping.

Backup copies may remain for a limited period after information is removed from active systems.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to personal information associated with you; correction of inaccurate information; deletion of certain information; a portable copy of certain information; withdrawal of consent; objection to or restriction of certain processing; an opt-out from targeted advertising, sale, or sharing as defined by applicable law; or review of a decision concerning a privacy request.

To submit a request, use the Contact page. Kantuckee may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where permitted or required by law.

You may also control cookies through your browser and use the advertising controls linked in the Google advertising section.

Children’s privacy

Kantuckee is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Data security

Kantuckee uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

International processing

Website providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Privacy protections and government-access rules may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website features, service providers, advertising practices, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
