SMS Communications & Opt-Out

 
By subscribing to our text messaging service, you consent to receive messages regarding orders, promotions, and updates. Message frequency may vary. You can opt-out at any time by replying STOP to any message.
 

Cookies

 
* General Use: Many websites, including ours, use cookies to enhance your experience. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when they’re sent, though this may limit some site features.
* Comments: If you leave a comment and opt-in, we save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience, lasting one year.
* Login: Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie (no personal data) to test browser compatibility, discarded when you close your browser. Logging in sets cookies for login info (two days) and screen options (one year), or two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” These are removed upon logout.
 

Embedded Content from Other Websites

 
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). This content behaves as if you’ve visited the originating site, which may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction, especially if you’re logged into their service.
 

Analytics

 
We use Google Analytics to collect data like visit frequency, pages viewed, and referral sites to improve our website. It collects your IP address (not your name) and uses a permanent cookie to identify returning users, but this data isn’t combined with personally identifiable information. Google’s use of this data is governed by its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Disable cookies in your browser to opt out of Google Analytics tracking.
 

Sharing of Information

 
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties, except:
 
* To comply with legal obligations.
* To trusted service providers (e.g., payment processors, logistics) assisting with business operations, under strict confidentiality terms.
* As specified elsewhere in this policy (e.g., spam detection, Gravatar).
Use of your information is limited to Millcraft Barns LLC’s internal purposes to further our activities.
 

Security Measures

 
We implement security practices to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, no online service can guarantee 100% security.
 

How Long We Retain Your Data
