Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 7, 2026
Last Updated: August 7, 2026

The Cresson Inn (“Cresson Inn,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit https://cressoninn.com/ (the “Website”) or otherwise communicate with us through the Website.

The Website is primarily an informational website for The Cresson Inn. It may provide information about our business, hours, menu, events, contact information, location, and related services.

By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The amount of information we collect depends on how you use the Website.

Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• submit a contact form;
• send us a message;
• contact us by email;
• request information;
• communicate with us regarding an event, reservation, question, or other inquiry; or
• otherwise voluntarily provide information through the Website.

This information may include:

• your name;
• email address;
• telephone number;
• the contents of your message;
• information relating to your inquiry; and
• any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit sensitive information through the Website unless it is specifically requested and necessary. In particular, you should not send Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, passwords, medical information, or other highly sensitive personal information through a general contact form or email.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our Website and the systems used to operate it may automatically receive certain technical information when you visit.

This may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• browser type and version;
• device type;
• operating system;
• referring website or page;
• pages visited;
• date and time of access;
• approximate geographic information derived from an IP address;
• request and response information;
• error and diagnostic information; and
• other information normally recorded in web server or security logs.

This information may be collected by our web server, hosting provider, security systems, analytics services, WordPress or other website software, and service providers that help operate the Website.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

• operate the Website;
• remember preferences;
• maintain security;
• prevent abuse;
• understand Website traffic;
• identify technical problems;
• measure Website performance; or
• support third-party content and embedded features.

You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies or website technologies may affect the functionality of certain portions of the Website.

The Website may change over time, and the specific cookies or technologies used may change as we maintain or improve it.

3. Analytics

We may use website analytics or traffic-measurement tools to understand how visitors use the Website.

Analytics information may include information such as:

• pages viewed;
• approximate visit duration;
• referring pages;
• device and browser information;
• general geographic information; and
• Website interactions.

We use this information primarily to maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the Website and to understand which information is useful to visitors.

Depending on the analytics service used and its configuration, the analytics provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, or Website activity.

4. Social Media, Maps, and Embedded Content

The Website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, including social networks, mapping providers, media platforms, review services, or other websites.

Examples may include:

• social-media pages or posts;
• Google Maps or similar mapping services;
• embedded images, videos, or feeds;
• review or business-profile services; and
• links to external websites.

When third-party content is loaded or you interact with a third-party feature, that third party may receive information about your device, browser, IP address, interaction, or visit.

Those companies operate independently from Cresson Inn. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies and practices.

We do not control the privacy practices, cookies, tracking technologies, or data-handling practices of third-party websites or services.

5. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Website to:

• operate and maintain the Website;
• respond to messages and inquiries;
• provide requested information;
• communicate with visitors;
• maintain Website security;
• prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity;
• diagnose technical problems;
• analyze Website performance and usage;
• improve Website content and functionality;
• maintain appropriate business records;
• enforce our legal rights;
• comply with legal obligations; or
• protect Cresson Inn, our customers, Website visitors, or others.

We do not use information submitted through ordinary Website contact forms for purposes materially unrelated to the reason it was submitted unless we provide appropriate notice or obtain permission where required.

6. How Information May Be Disclosed

We may disclose information in the limited circumstances described below.

Service Providers

Information may be processed by companies that provide services necessary to operate or support the Website, such as:

• website hosting;
• website administration;
• analytics;
• email;
• spam prevention;
• security;
• backups;
• content delivery;
• technical support; or
• other infrastructure services.

These providers may receive information only to the extent reasonably necessary for the services they perform or as otherwise permitted by law.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• comply with applicable law;
• respond to valid legal process;
• comply with a court order or lawful government request;
• investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or illegal activity;
• protect the rights, property, or safety of Cresson Inn or others; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Business Transactions

If ownership or operation of Cresson Inn or the Website changes as part of a merger, acquisition, sale, restructuring, or similar transaction, information associated with the Website may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

7. Sale and Use of Personal Information for Advertising

Cresson Inn does not intentionally sell personal information to third parties for money.

The Website is not designed as an advertising network, data brokerage service, or consumer profiling service.

However, analytics providers, social-media services, embedded-content providers, and similar third-party technologies may independently collect information when their services are used or loaded.

Certain U.S. privacy laws use specialized definitions of terms such as “sell,” “share,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” that may be broader than the ordinary meaning of those terms.

If our practices materially change or applicable law requires additional disclosures or opt-out mechanisms, we will update our practices and this Privacy Policy as appropriate.

8. Information Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate business needs, security purposes, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

For example:

• contact messages may be retained while an inquiry is being handled and afterward when reasonably necessary for business records;
• server and security logs may be retained for security, troubleshooting, and operational purposes;
• information contained in backups may remain until the relevant backup is overwritten or deleted according to normal backup procedures; and
• information may be retained longer where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, disputes, or enforcement of legal rights.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the Website and the information we maintain.

However, no website, server, Internet transmission, email system, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.

You should therefore use reasonable care when transmitting personal information online and avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or email.

10. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on how you interact with the Website, you may be able to limit certain collection by:

• declining to submit optional information;
• adjusting browser cookie settings;
• blocking or deleting cookies;
• using browser privacy features;
• disabling certain scripts or third-party content; or
• contacting us regarding information you previously submitted.

Some browser settings may prevent portions of the Website from functioning correctly.

11. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights under applicable state law.

Depending on the law and whether that law applies to Cresson Inn, these rights may include the ability to request:

• confirmation of whether we process certain personal information;
• access to certain personal information;
• correction of inaccurate personal information;
• deletion of certain personal information;
• a portable copy of certain information; or
• information regarding certain disclosures or uses of personal information.

Some laws may also provide rights relating to the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, profiling, or certain categories of sensitive information.

These rights are not identical in every state, and exceptions may apply.

You may submit a privacy-related request using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may also deny or limit a request where permitted or required by applicable law.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

12. Browser Privacy Signals and Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.

Because there is no universally implemented technical standard governing traditional DNT signals, the Website does not currently change its behavior solely in response to a traditional DNT signal.

Some browsers and extensions may also transmit other privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

The Website is not designed to sell visitors’ personal information or use Website information as part of a cross-site behavioral advertising business.

If applicable law requires us to recognize a particular legally valid browser-based opt-out signal for a processing activity in which we engage, we will handle that signal as required by applicable law.

13. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 was submitted to us in circumstances requiring its deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has provided us with personal information may contact us using the information below.

14. Third-Party Websites

The Website may contain links to websites, platforms, businesses, or services that we do not own or control.

Following a link to another website means that the privacy policy and terms of that third party will apply to your interaction with that service.

A link from our Website does not mean that we control or are responsible for that third party’s privacy or security practices.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.

15. Email and Other Communications

If you contact us by email, the contents of your communication and your email address may be retained as reasonably necessary to respond to you and maintain appropriate business records.

Email is not necessarily a secure form of communication. You should not send highly sensitive information through ordinary email.

We do not represent that messages transmitted through third-party email systems are encrypted end-to-end.

16. Security and Abuse Prevention

We may use automated systems, server logs, security tools, firewalls, spam detection, rate limiting, or similar technologies to protect the Website.

These systems may process IP addresses, request information, device or browser information, timestamps, and related technical information for purposes such as:

• detecting malicious requests;
• blocking attacks;
• preventing spam;
• enforcing access restrictions;
• investigating unusual activity; and
• maintaining the security and availability of the Website.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

• the Website;
• technology;
• service providers;
• our information practices; or
• applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

Material changes may receive additional notice when appropriate or required by applicable law.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
