Privacy Policy

Georgia Olive Farms

Effective date: 11/01/2026

Georgia Olive Farms ("Georgia Olive Farms," "we," "us," or "our") runs the website georgiaolivefarms.com (the "Site"), where we share news about our farm and sell olive oil, olive trees and related products. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit the Site, shop with us, or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. We collect information you provide directly, for example when you:

  • Place an order: your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and the details of what you buy.
  • Contact us by phone, email, or through the Contact Us page: your name, contact details, and whatever you choose to tell us in your message.
  • Ask about olive trees, wholesale orders, or growing: information about your farm, property, or business that you choose to share.

Payment information. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, [e.g. Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net]. Your full card number is entered with and handled by that processor; we do not store complete payment card numbers on our servers. We may receive limited details such as the card type, the last four digits, and confirmation that the payment went through.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our servers and service providers may automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We collect some of this through cookies (see Section 4).

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process, ship, and follow up on your orders, including sending order confirmations and shipping updates.
  • Answer your questions and requests and provide customer service.
  • Run, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and our online store.
  • Keep records for accounting, tax, and legal purposes.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security problems.
  • Send you news, offers, or updates about our farm and products, but only where you have asked to receive them or where the law allows. You can opt out at any time (see Section 6).
  • Comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. How we share your information

We share personal information only as described here:

  • Service providers who help us run our business, such as our website host, our shopping cart provider, our payment processor, shipping carriers (UPS), and email providers. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
  • Legal requirements. We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that the law, a court order, or legal process requires it, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Georgia Olive Farms, our customers, or others.
  • Business transfers. If Georgia Olive Farms is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • With your consent. We may share information for other purposes with your permission.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses cookies to make the online store work (for example, to remember what is in your shopping cart), to keep the Site secure, and to understand how visitors use the Site.

We use [Google Analytics] to understand how visitors use the Site. That service may collect information such as your IP address and the pages you visit. You can learn how Google uses this data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. If you turn cookies off, some parts of the Site, including the shopping cart, may not work properly.

Do Not Track. Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, so the Site does not currently respond to them.

5. Third-party links and social media

The Site links to other websites and services, including our pages on Facebook, Twitter (X), Flickr, and Vimeo, and partner organizations such as the Georgia Olive Growers Association. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. Information you share on social media is governed by that platform's terms and policies.

6. Your choices

  • Marketing emails. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time with the "unsubscribe" link in the email or by contacting us. We may still send you messages about your orders.
  • Cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, as described in Section 4.
  • Access, correction, and deletion. You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity first, and we may keep certain information where the law requires it (for example, records of transactions for tax purposes).

To make any of these requests, contact us using the details in Section 11.

7. Additional information for residents of certain U.S. states

Some U.S. states, such as California, give their residents additional rights over their personal information, which may include the right to know what we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you live in one of these states and want to exercise your rights, contact us using the details in Section 11. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

8. How we keep your information safe

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, including encrypted (SSL/HTTPS) connections for checkout. No website or method of storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, such as completing your orders and providing customer service, and for as long as the law requires for tax, accounting, and legal purposes. When we no longer need it, we delete it or make it anonymous.

10. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
