Who we are

This website is hosted and operated by the Santa Margarita Lions Club on behalf of the Santa Margarita Community Hall in Santa Margarita, California. When we say “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean the Santa Margarita Lions Club volunteers who manage the hall and this website.

We collect information you choose to give us when you use this site, including when you:

Submit a hall booking request (name, email, phone, ZIP code, event date, event type, and optional notes)
Submit a membership inquiry (name, email, optional phone and message)
Submit a community sponsorship inquiry (business name, contact details, website or social links, and a message)
Browse the site (see “Analytics and cookies” below)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website. Please do not send payment card numbers, government ID numbers, or other sensitive data through our booking or membership forms.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

Review and respond to hall rental requests
Follow up about membership in the Lions Club
Process and acknowledge community sponsorships
Send operational emails related to your request or sponsorship
Maintain internal records for hall scheduling and club administration
Improve the website and understand how visitors use it

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for unrelated marketing without your consent.

How we share information

We share information only when needed to operate the hall and this website:

Volunteer booking managers and Lions Club members involved in scheduling receive booking and inquiry details so they can respond.
Service providers that help us run the site (for example, email delivery, hosting, and analytics) may process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the club, the hall, or others.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Tag Manager and related analytics tools to understand site traffic and improve the visitor experience. These services may set cookies or similar technologies and collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser type, and referring site.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may still work if you disable cookies, but analytics measurement may be limited.

Data retention

We keep booking requests, inquiries, and related correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to manage hall operations, resolve disputes, and maintain club records. Sponsorship records may be kept longer where required for accounting or legal purposes.

Your choices and California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, request correction or deletion where applicable, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

To ask about your information or make a privacy request, email info@santamargaritacommunityhall.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for general public use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through this site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
