Draft, pending review. This privacy policy is not yet in force and has not been reviewed by the park’s attorney.
Privacy Policy
Booking termsHow the park handles what you type into the booking form.
Effective 8 September 20261
Highlighted text is in this document because a statute requires it. The numbers land on the source and its operative language.
1. Who this is about
Abbeville RV Park, 1501 West Port St, Abbeville, Louisiana 70510, operates the booking form on this site. This policy covers that form and the confirmation email it sends. It does not cover the rest of abbevillervpark.com, which is hosted separately.
2. What we collect
Only what you type into the booking form, which is: your name, phone number and email address; the number of people in your party and the number of pets; your arrival and departure dates; the type and length of your rig and whether you need 30 or 50 amp service and a sewer connection; a site you would prefer, if you name one; and anything you write in the notes box.2
We do not ask for your address, your date of birth, your driver's licence, your vehicle registration or your social security number, and the form has nowhere to put them.
Our web host records ordinary server logs, which include IP addresses, as every web server does. We do not read them for any purpose other than keeping the site working.
3. Please leave health information out of the notes box
The notes box is there for things like "travelling with a large dog" or "arriving late". Please do not use it for medical or health information. If you need a site chosen for a health reason, call the park on 337-898-4042 and we will sort it out on the phone instead.
We ask because health information carries obligations that ordinary booking details do not, and the simplest way for a park this size to handle it well is not to hold it at all.
4. Why we collect it
To hold your reservation, to choose a site that fits your rig, to send your confirmation, and to reach you if something about your stay needs discussing. That is the whole of it.
5. Who else sees it
Three service providers, each for one job:3
- Vercel hosts the booking system and stores the booking records, on servers in the United States.
- Resend delivers the confirmation email.
- Square handles card details if you choose to leave a card. See below.
Nobody else. We do not sell your information, we do not rent it, we do not trade it, and we do not hand it to advertisers or data brokers. We would disclose it if a court ordered us to, and not otherwise.
6. Cookies, tracking and Do Not Track
The booking form sets no cookies at all. There is no analytics, no advertising tag, no tracking pixel and no third-party script of any kind on it.
Because we do not track anyone across other websites, a Do Not Track signal from your browser has nothing to change here. We honour it in the only way that is meaningful: we never did the thing it asks us to stop doing.4
No other party collects information about your activity across websites through the booking form.5
The park owner's own administration page sets one cookie, to keep her signed in. Guests never reach that page.
7. Card payments
Nothing is charged when you book. Payment is due in person when you arrive.
After the booking form you are offered the option of leaving a card, so the park can charge it on your arrival day. It is optional and it is asked separately and explicitly.
If you do, your card details are handled entirely by Square and never reach the park's systems. The card fields are served by Square, not by us. What is stored against your booking is Square's reference numbers, the card brand, the last four digits and the expiry, plus the date and time you agreed and the wording you agreed to.
To have a stored card deleted, call 337-898-4042 or email info@abbevillervpark.com.
8. How long we keep it
Booking records are filed by the calendar year of your stay and kept for as long as the park operates. That is a deliberate choice: they are the park's business record of who has stayed, when, and on which site, and they are how the park knows the stay history of a guest who comes back. The park keeps using them after your stay is over, so it keeps them too. You can still ask for yours to be deleted, as set out below.
Backup copies of those records are kept for 90 days. Older backups are deleted automatically.6
9. Seeing, correcting or deleting your information
Call the park on 337-898-4042 or email info@abbevillervpark.com and ask. Tell us your name and your booking code and we will tell you what we hold, correct anything wrong, or delete it once your stay is over and paid for.7
There is no online account to log into, because the booking form does not create one.
10. Children
The booking form is for adults making a reservation. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. The number of people in your party is a count, and we do not ask for the names or ages of the people travelling with you.
11. Keeping it safe
Booking records are held in private storage that is not readable from the public internet, and the park owner's administration page is behind a password.8 No system is perfect, and we do not claim otherwise. If information were ever exposed, we would tell the people affected as Louisiana law requires.9
12. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top. If a change materially affects what we do with information already collected, we will say so plainly at the top of this page for at least 30 days.10

Sources for the highlighted clauses
- 1
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(4)
The date line, under the document title.
“Identify its effective date.”
One of the six contents CalOPPA requires a privacy policy to carry, and the shortest requirement in the statute.
- 2
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(1), first clause
What we collect, first paragraph.
“Identify the categories of personally identifiable information that the operator collects through the Web site or online service about individual consumers who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service ...”
The field list satisfies this directly, and does it by enumeration rather than by category, which is more than the statute asks for.
- 3
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(1), second clause
Who else sees it, and the three providers named under it.
“... and the categories of third-party persons or entities with whom the operator may share that personally identifiable information.”
Naming Vercel, Resend and Square individually, each with its single job, again exceeds the statutory floor of categories.
- 4
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(5)
Cookies, tracking and Do Not Track, second paragraph.
Requires the operator to disclose how it responds to Web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party Web sites or online services, if the operator engages in that collection.
Stated in summary. The issuing source did not return this provision as verbatim text, so it is not shown as a quotation. Check the words against the current code before relying on them.
Added by A.B. 370 and in force since 1 January 2014. The disclosure is required even where the answer is that the operator does no such tracking: what the statute forbids is silence. The paragraph answers in substance rather than by the hyperlink route that § 22575(b)(7) also permits.
- 5
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(6)
Cookies, tracking and Do Not Track, third paragraph.
“Disclose whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer's online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses the operator's Web site or service.”
A separate requirement from (b)(5) and easily conflated with it: (b)(5) is the operator's own response to the signal, (b)(6) is what third parties do through the service. The draft answers each in its own sentence, which is the right structure.
- 6
La. R.S. 51:3074(B)
How long we keep it, second paragraph.
“Any person that conducts business in the state or that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information, or any agency that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information shall take all reasonable steps to destroy or arrange for the destruction of the records within its custody or control containing personal information that is no longer to be retained by the person or business by shredding, erasing, or otherwise modifying the personal information in the records to make it unreadable or undecipherable through any means.”
The automatic 90-day expiry of backups is the park's discharge of this duty as to backup copies.
- 7
Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(2)
Seeing, correcting or deleting your information, first paragraph.
Requires the operator to describe the process by which a consumer who uses or visits the site may review and request changes to any of their personally identifiable information collected by the operator, if the operator maintains such a process.
Stated in summary. The issuing source did not return this provision as verbatim text, so it is not shown as a quotation. Check the words against the current code before relying on them.
A conditional requirement rather than an absolute one. Because the park does maintain a process, by phone and by email, describing it becomes mandatory; had it maintained none, the subdivision would not bite.
- 8
La. R.S. 51:3074(A)
Keeping it safe, first sentence.
“Any person that conducts business in the state or that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information, or any agency that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information, shall implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information to protect the personal information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.”
A duty to act rather than a duty to disclose. The sentence is highlighted because it is the document's account of how that duty is discharged, and because a posted description of security measures is itself a representation the park can be held to.
- 9
La. R.S. 51:3074(C)
Keeping it safe, closing sentence.
“Any person that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information, or any agency that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information, shall, following discovery of a breach in the security of the system containing such data, notify any resident of the state whose personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person.”
Notice must go out in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, and no later than sixty days from discovery. Separate written notice to the Attorney General follows within ten days of the resident notices. Notification is excused where, after a reasonable investigation, the business determines there is no reasonable likelihood of harm to residents of the state.

Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(3)
Changes to this policy.
“Describe the process by which the operator notifies consumers who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service of material changes to the operator's privacy policy for that Web site or online service.”
Describing the process is what is required. The specific commitment to a plain notice held at the top of the page for at least 30 days is not, and is listed under elective below.
