Etl Farms, Inc. handles harvest dispatch records and paid advertising identifiers with verified technical restraint.

Effective Date and Scope

This privacy disclosure took effect on October 17, 2026. It applies to all visits, inquiries, commercial haul bookings, and tracking signals processed on etlfarms.us. We do not bury changes or hide operating realities.

The data controller operating this site and directing all grain transportation operations is Etlfarms, trading as Etl Farms, Inc. at the physical address: 6922 FILION ROAD, PIGEON, MI 48755-9724, PIGEON, MI, United States.

Categories of Data Recorded

Our web infrastructure records strictly what is necessary to quote and coordinate physical bulk grain transport, plus diagnostic logs generated during server communication:

• Inquiry Form Inputs: Submissions to zana1bf.php collect full name, telephone number, email address, physical field or pick-up address, hauling job kind, cargo commodity specifications, route notes, and the explicit consent confirmation checkbox.
• Automated Request Metadata: The server automatically notes the visitor's IP address, browser user-agent header, referring URL, time of page delivery, and timestamp of form submission.
• Support Chat Logs: The dispatch messaging widget (lele4c8.php) logs the visitor's conversation text, optional name or contact detail, and a session token stored in browser localStorage.
• Consent Preferences: The visitor's cookie selection is recorded locally under the key site_consent_v2.
• Advertising Click Identifiers: Inbound marketing query strings containing gclid, msclkid, or fbclid from active search and social ad campaigns.

Purposes of Data Processing

Every data point collected serves an operational or legal transport purpose. We use submitted information to calculate bushel hauling estimates, confirm field lane clearances, dispatch trucks during harvest windows, verify elevator receiving scale tickets, and diagnose technical server errors.

Campaign identifiers are processed to determine which search terms and geographic regions in Huron County require agricultural trucking capacity, ensuring advertising budgets are allocated accurately.

Legal Bases for Processing

Under applicable statutory frameworks, our processing activities rely on defined legal bases:

Advertising Platforms & Click Identifiers

This website is an active destination for paid commercial traffic. We run paid advertising campaigns today to connect Huron County growers with commercial harvest trucking capacity.

Traffic arrives from Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads. Specifically, this site processes inbound traffic and conversion measurement using google ads and microsoft advertising as active campaign channels. Each platform appends a unique cryptographic parameter to destination links:

• Google Ads: Passes the gclid (Google Click Identifier) parameter for campaign conversion measurement. Our systems evaluate google ads traffic directly.
• Microsoft Advertising: Passes the msclkid (Microsoft Click Identifier) parameter on Bing search ads delivered via microsoft advertising.
• Meta Ads: Passes the fbclid parameter on sponsored mobile and social placements.

Consent Mode v2 Implementation

We enforce Google consent mode v2 as an architectural standard across the entire domain. Specifically under consent mode, when a visitor loads etlfarms.us, all tracking and storage flags are locked in an initial denied state before any external measurement scripts execute.

Specifically, four core signals remain denied by default:

• ad_storage: Denied until explicit consent is granted.
• ad_user_data: Denied until explicit consent is granted.
• ad_personalization: Denied until explicit consent is granted.
• analytics_storage: Denied until explicit consent is granted.

If the visitor selects "Deny All", or if they close the prompt without choosing, all four states stay denied. If consent is subsequently revoked via the footer control, the system sets all four signals back to denied immediately.

Third-Party Data Processors

Etl Farms, Inc. relies on trusted technical vendors to host our web application, route corporate emails, and evaluate marketing reach:

• Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC: Advertising measurement, campaign delivery, and conversion modeling for Google Ads traffic. Google receives consent signals and attaches gclid to arriving ad clicks.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd: Search ad distribution via Microsoft Advertising. Microsoft attaches msclkid to arriving clicks; its data handling is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement available at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement (domain: privacy.microsoft.com).
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd: Social campaign tracking, conversion measurement, and campaign receipt for Meta Ads, attaching fbclid where active campaigns direct traffic here.
• Web Infrastructure & Mail Relay: The hosting provider that serves this website and stores the inquiry database within the United States, and the mail provider that carries automated dispatch notifications directly to the operator inbox at [email protected].

International Data Transfers

All primary databases and haul operations servers are stationed within the United States. Where advertising processors utilize infrastructure in the European Union or other jurisdictions, transfers operate under standard contractual clauses, international data transfer agreements, and recognized adequacy determinations.

Data Retention Periods

We retain business records only for fixed, documented durations rather than keeping files indefinitely:

• Commercial Haul Inquiries: Stored alongside email dispatch notifications for exactly 24 months to assist seasonal year-over-year harvest planning.
• Dispatch Chat Transcripts: Preserved in the database for 12 months from the final recorded entry.
• Server Access & Security Logs: Automatically erased after 60 days.
• Consent Verification Token: The browser local token site_consent_v2 persists for 12 months unless cleared by user action.

Security Safeguards

Our web environment enforces end-to-end HTTPS encryption using modern TLS ciphers. Web forms employ server-side input sanitization, honeypot traps against bot spoofing, and strict access controls limiting dispatch database records to authorized operating personnel.

• Right of Access: Request a full copy of all personal records we hold linked to your identity.

United States State Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our website recognizes and respects global privacy control (GPC) signals transmitted by supported browsers and privacy extensions. When our server receives the Sec-GPC header set to 1, we automatically treat it as a valid instruction to opt out of advertising storage and cross-context ad sharing without requiring separate manual banner interactions.
