It is Lost Valley Ranch's policy to respect and protect the privacy of visitors

permission personal information about its visitors or their computer at any
time while on Lost Valley Ranch's website. Lost Valley Ranch will, however, analyze
information about our visitors as a group to make our website better, but visitors
are not individually identified when we do this.
Lost Valley Ranch will collect personal information such as names, home addresses,
e-mail addresses, age, etc., but only when a visitor voluntarily gives it to
us in the process of ordering subscriptions to the Lost Valley Ranch newsletters
or registering with the Lost Valley Ranch website. This information is used internally
by Lost Valley Ranch to fulfill your requests and for marketing and research purposes.
Lost Valley Ranch will NOT sell, rent or give a visitor's personal information
to any third party unless Lost Valley Ranch asks for and receives the visitor's
permission at the time the personal information is collected. Lost Valley Ranch
does however, share aggregate information about the users of Lost Valley Ranch's
website with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors and certain others.
As mentioned above, this aggregate information is used to develop, improve and
customize Lost Valley Ranch's website to better serve visitors to our website.
Where www.lostvalleyranch.com's information collection activities involve children, www.lostvalleyranch.com provides special privacy protections.
Lost Valley Ranch is committed to protecting the online privacy of children.
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"),
Lost Valley Ranch will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information
from children under the age of thirteen (13) without first obtaining parental
consent. Prior to providing any personally identifiable information (your name,
email address, address, phone number etc.), either by placing an order for merchandise,
setting up a www.lostvalleyranch.com account, or participating in any other activity offered
through the www.lostvalleyranch.com site, children under the age of thirteen (13) must
have a parent or legal guardian complete and return (by mail or fax) a Parental
Consent Form to www.lostvalleyranch.com - Lost Valley Ranch ., 29555 Goose Creek Road, Sedalia Colorado 80135-9000; or by fax
to: 303-647-2315. The consent form states that the child's "Parent" or "Legal
Guardian", by his or her signature, consents to the collection and transfer
of the child's personally identifiable information. Consent may be revoked by
completing a "Lost Valley Ranch Revocation of Parental Consent Form" and
sending it to the address or fax number above.
In compliance with COPPA, Lost Valley Ranch is sensitive about children consulting
with parents or guardians before furnishing personal information or ordering
anything online. It's also Lost Valley Ranch's intention to adhere to the Children's
Advertising Review Unit (CARU) Guidelines on Internet advertising with its special
sensitivities regarding solicitations to children under thirteen (13). Lost Valley Ranch encourages parents/guardians to supervise and join their children in exploring
cyberspace. Lost Valley Ranch is proud of its website and believes that it is suitable
for Lost Valley Ranch fans of all ages.
Please note that if a parent does not permit www.lostvalleyranch.com's use or collection
of personally identifiable information or has instructed Lost Valley Ranch to delete
personally identifiable information, a child's participation in those www.lostvalleyranch.com
activities for which the personally identifiable information has been requested
may not be possible.
Lost Valley Ranch will not disclose information collected from children under
the age of thirteen (13) (or from adults for that matter) to third parties unless
indicated otherwise or in special cases where Lost Valley Ranch has reason to believe
that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be causing injury to or interference (whether intentionally
or unintentionally) with Lost Valley Ranch's rights or property or anyone else
who may be harmed by such actions or if required by law.
Lost Valley Ranch recommends that parents/guardians monitor and supervise the
online activities of their children and to consider using available parental
control tools which can prevent children from disclosing their name, address,
and other personal information without parental permission. Visitors to Lost Valley Ranch's website who are under thirteen (13) years old should not be submitting
any personal information like their name, address, e-mail address, phone number
etc. without a parent's or guardian's permission.
CORRESPONDENCE & WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS
