Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GunBarrel.City ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit gunbarrel.city (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Effective date: July 12, 2026

Who we are

GunBarrel.City is an independent community and visitor guide about Gun Barrel City, Texas, and the Cedar Creek Lake area. We are not affiliated with the City of Gun Barrel City municipal government or any government agency.

Information we collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:

• Information you provide. If you contact us or submit an event, business listing, or correction, you may send us your name, email address, and the content of your message. Our contact form opens your own email program, so any message you send comes to us by email.
• Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you visit. This is used for security and to understand general traffic patterns.
• Cookies and analytics. We may use cookies and third-party analytics tools (for example, a service such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site. These tools may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to respond to your messages, operate and improve the Site, maintain security, understand which content is useful, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Third parties

We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting and analytics providers), and we may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights. These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to safeguard it. The Site also links to third-party websites and businesses; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

Cookies and your choices

You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function as intended if you do. You can also opt out of certain analytics tracking through browser settings or tools provided by the analytics vendor.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain processing (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act or, for visitors outside the United States, laws such as the GDPR). To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Data security and retention

We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
