🔒 Privacy Policy

1 Who We Are

This website is operated by the Greb Family, a private individual based in Gastonia, North Carolina. This is a personal family website, not a corporation, conglomerate, or shadowy data-harvesting enterprise. We're just people who like to keep things organized and transparent.

For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at: webmaster@grebfamily.us

2 Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide to us voluntarily:

• Your name, when you choose to share it
• Your email address, if you contact us or opt in to communications
• Your phone number, if you opt in to receive text messages from us
• Any other information you choose to send us in a message

Information collected automatically:

• Basic web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) — this is standard plumbing for any website and is not used for tracking individuals

3 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your messages and inquiries
• Send communications you have expressly opted in to receive (such as family updates or SMS messages)
• Improve this website and our communications
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations

We do not use your information for:

• Targeted advertising or selling ads
• Building marketing profiles
• Any automated profiling or decision-making
• Anything that would make your grandmother uncomfortable

4 How We Share Your Information

Short answer: we don't sell, rent, trade, or auction off your personal information. Your data is not a commodity here.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate (e.g., an SMS messaging platform), bound by their own privacy and data protection obligations
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of ourselves or others
• With Your Consent: Any other sharing will only happen if you explicitly say it's okay

5 SMS / Text Messaging

If you opt in to receive text messages from us, here's what you need to know:

• You will only receive messages you have explicitly agreed to receive
• Message frequency will vary, but we won't be blowing up your phone
• Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier plan
• You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message
• For help, reply HELP or email us at webmaster@grebfamily.us
• We do not share your phone number with third parties for their marketing purposes

6 Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your information (the "right to be forgotten")
• Opt out of communications at any time
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority if applicable

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us at webmaster@grebfamily.us. We'll get back to you faster than a Duke fan changes their story after March Madness.

7 Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. That said, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't make absolute guarantees — and neither can anyone else who tells you otherwise.

8 Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll promptly delete it.

9 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this page occasionally. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
