Privacy Policy

Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to the Roswell Lodge No. 18 website, including roswellmasons.org and any temporary or successor domain that displays or links to this policy.

It applies to information collected through the website and does not govern the independent privacy practices of external websites, social networks, video platforms, mapping providers, or other third-party services.

Cookies and Similar Technology

The website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, server logs, validation tokens, and similar technologies to operate website features, maintain security, remember technical preferences, and support embedded content.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may prevent embedded videos, maps, security checks, or contact-form features from working correctly.

Third-Party Services

Some website features are supplied by independent service providers. When those features load or when you interact with them, the provider may receive technical information from your browser and may use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy policy.

The website may also rely on hosting, email-delivery, content management, and form-processing services necessary to operate and respond to requests.

Sharing and Disclosure

Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

• Lodge members or representatives responsible for responding to an inquiry
• Hosting, form, email, security, and technical service providers that help operate the website
• Government authorities, courts, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or website security

Third-party providers process information under their own terms, privacy policies, and contractual responsibilities.

Data Retention

Contact information and messages may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to respond to the inquiry, maintain appropriate lodge records, resolve disputes, protect the website, or satisfy legal obligations.

Technical logs and security information may be retained according to the operational schedules of the site’s hosting and security providers.

Your Choices and Requests

You may contact Roswell Lodge No. 18 to ask whether the lodge still maintains personal information that you submitted through the website or to request that inaccurate information be corrected. You may also request deletion, subject to any legitimate administrative, security, recordkeeping, or legal need to retain the information.

You may avoid submitting personal information by not using the contact form and may instead call the lodge using the telephone number listed on the Contact page.

Information Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect the website and information submitted through it. These measures may include encrypted connections, access controls, hosting safeguards, software updates, spam detection, and automated security checks.

No website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use care when deciding what information to submit online.

External Websites and Social Media

The website may link to external websites, social-media pages, and Masonic organizations. Roswell Lodge No. 18 does not control the content, security, or privacy practices of those independent services. Review the privacy policy of any external service before providing personal information.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website features, service providers, or information practices change. The latest revision date will be displayed near the top of this page.
