Lake Geneva Weekend is a lifestyle and travel publication covering Geneva Lake and the surrounding Walworth County, Wisconsin communities. The site is owned and operated by Kim and Joel Reyenga of eXp Realty. Real estate search and listings are handled on a separate website, yourwiscohome.com, which has its own privacy policy.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share information only in the limited situations described below.

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party services that help us operate the site, send the newsletter, and analyze traffic. These providers may include website hosting, email delivery platforms, form software, security tools, and analytics services such as Google Analytics. These providers are only authorized to use your information to perform services for Lake Geneva Weekend.

Kim and Joel Reyenga, eXp Realty

When you ask to be connected about a property, request a market report, or otherwise indicate interest in Lake Geneva area real estate, your contact information and the substance of your request are shared with Kim and Joel Reyenga of eXp Realty so they can follow up with you directly. Real estate search activity that takes place on yourwiscohome.com is governed by the privacy policy on that site.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, by a court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Lake Geneva Weekend, our readers, or others.

Business Transfers

If Lake Geneva Weekend is ever sold, merged, or restructured, reader information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Third-Party Websites and Links

Lake Geneva Weekend often links to other websites, including restaurants, event venues, tourism organizations, social media platforms, and the real estate search site yourwiscohome.com. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

6. Your Choices

Email and Newsletter Preferences

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can opt out of the newsletter at any time. You may also contact us directly to be removed from any list.

Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings or any cookie preference tool displayed on the site.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

You may ask us to tell you what personal information we have about you, correct it, or delete it. To make a request, see the Contact section below. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no industry-standard response to that signal, so Lake Geneva Weekend does not currently respond to it. You can still manage tracking through cookie settings and analytics opt-out tools.

7. California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect about you, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. Lake Geneva Weekend does not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

8. Children’s Privacy

Lake Geneva Weekend is intended for adult readers. The site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No internet transmission is ever completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have a reason to believe your information is no longer secure, please contact us right away.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscribers remain on the list until they unsubscribe or ask to be removed. Inquiry and contact form messages are kept long enough to respond and follow up appropriately.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site grows or as laws change. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be announced in the newsletter or on the site. Your continued use of Lake Geneva Weekend after a change has been posted means you accept the updated policy.
