We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy ("Policy"). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide ("Personal Information") on the River Ranch on the Brazos website ("Website") and any related services (collectively, "Services"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information.

They receive only the information needed for their specific functions and are prohibited from using the provided information for their own marketing purposes.
We may disclose Personal Information if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with subpoenas or similar legal processes, when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, to investigate fraud, or to respond to government requests.
In the event of business transitions such as mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your Personal Information will likely be among the transferred assets.
**Information Retention**

We do not transfer or store your Personal Information outside your country of residence. All collected Personal Information is processed and maintained within your jurisdiction, complying with applicable data protection laws.
