We safeguard customer personal records and state advertising disclosures plainly.

This privacy statement is effective as of November 12, 2026. Every inquiry processed through our reservation portal, every session logged across our Burgettstown farm market website, and every tracking identifier managed by our consent infrastructure operates under the policies documented here. We review these standards periodically against current Pennsylvania state statutes, United States federal trade guidance, and global data privacy standards.

The data controller responsible for personal information gathered on this website is Kauffmanmarketpl, trading online at kauffmanmarketpl.com and operating physically as Kauffman Market.

Sole proprietorship and business registration: Maria Ivanova, owner since 2021, with business entity registration on record with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Our systems collect personal records strictly when submitted deliberately by visitors or generated during active browser communication. No user account creation exists on this website, and no financial card or payment numbers are ever recorded or processed through this domain.

• Inquiry Form Records: When you submit a product reservation or pantry inquiry through our form submitting to forec5d.php, our system records your full name, telephone number, email address, physical delivery or pickup address, the selected inquiry category (farm produce or artisan bakery goods), requested parcel specifications, customer notes, and the explicit consent confirmation checkbox.
• Technical and Server Telemetry: Automatic server requests record the user Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser user-agent header string, referring web address, uniform resource identifier (URI) requested, and the precise timestamp of page render and form dispatch.
• Support Desk Communications: When interacting with our support desk widget communicating with bumice2.php, we record the message body text, optional contact details provided, the conversation thread timestamps, and an arbitrary browser token stored in your local browser storage to sustain conversation continuity.
• Consent Verification State: The browser local storage key site_consent_v2 stores whether you accepted or declined measurement and advertising cookies, along with the timestamp of that selection.
• Advertising Click Identifiers: Inbound paid advertising traffic carries platform query parameters including gclid from Google, msclkid from Microsoft Advertising, and fbclid from Meta. These identifiers are processed in technical server logs to gauge landing performance.

Every byte of data collected serves an explicit operational purpose for our Burgettstown farm grocery business:

• Order Reservation and Assembly: To prepare weighed boxes of fresh produce ($4.50 to $16.00 per unit) or baked goods ($8.00 to $15.00 per unit) for same-day counter collection or regional Smith Township delivery.
• Direct Counter Communication: To call or email you regarding daily bakery batches, harvest availability, scale weights, or delivery schedule confirmations.
• Live Support Assistance: To answer live customer inquiries through bumice2.php regarding dietary allergens, bakery deck bake times, or wholesale farm orders.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To prevent spam form flooding through our hidden honeypot fields (named branch and site) and protect website hosting integrity.
• Paid Campaign Optimization: To verify campaign effectiveness across Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads so our local provisioner ads reach genuine households in Washington County and western Pennsylvania.

In compliance with United States statutory standards and international privacy benchmarks (such as the GDPR), we assign a defined legal basis to every category of processing:

This website is an active commercial destination for paid digital advertising. We purchase search and display advertisements across Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads to promote our family grocery store, farm produce, and bakery counter.

When a visitor clicks our paid advertisements, the directing platform appends unique tracking parameters to the URL string:

• google ads: Appends the gclid (Google Click Identifier) parameter to measure ad conversions and search keyword attribution.
• microsoft advertising: Appends the msclkid (Microsoft Click Identifier) query token to track retail shopping campaign performance and Bing search queries.
• meta ads: Appends the fbclid (Facebook Click Identifier) parameter when sponsored visual posts deliver traffic from Instagram or Facebook feeds.

These parameters are read by our analytics tags solely when consent has been recorded. Neither Google, Microsoft, nor Meta has reviewed, approved, or endorsed this website or our agricultural goods.

To safeguard visitor privacy while running paid search and shopping ads, this site operates under Google Consent Mode v2. Before you make any selection in our consent banner, the browser holds four distinct storage signals in a strict denied state:

• ad_storage: Denied by default. Blocks marketing cookies and local storage persistence used for advertising targeting.
• ad_user_data: Denied by default. Prevents user data from being transmitted to Google or ad partners for advertising attribution.
• ad_personalization: Denied by default. Disallows personalized ad targeting, remarketing lists, and customized audience profiling.
• analytics_storage: Denied by default. Blocks measurement cookies that aggregate site visit duration, bounce rates, and screen paths.

Only if you click “Accept” are these four signals updated to granted. If you click “Decline” or subsequently update your cookie preferences via the footer control, all four signals are immediately set back to denied, and non-essential marketing storage keys are cleared.

Kauffman Market does not sell, rent, or lease customer names or order records to data brokers. We disclose records exclusively to the following service processors under strict data protection terms:

• Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd: Operates Google Ads measurement and analytics scripts where consented.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd / Microsoft Corporation: Operates Microsoft Advertising and Bing Merchant Center attribution. Their data handling practices are governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement available at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd / Meta Platforms, Inc.: Processes ad delivery insights for Meta Ads campaigns where consented.
• Web Hosting Infrastructure Provider: Provides secure United States server hosting, database storage for reservation records, and firewall protection.
• Transactional Mail Routing Provider: Encrypts and relays inquiry notifications from forec5d.php directly into the operator inbox at [email protected].

Our core server hardware and operational store facilities are situated in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, within the United States. When European or overseas visitors access our domain, their interactions are transmitted directly to our United States server nodes.

For data originating from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, transfers to our processors rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or relevant adequacy decisions, ensuring an equivalent standard of protection to European data laws.

We do not retain personal information longer than required for our business and legal obligations. Our retention schedule sets definite calendar lifespans:

• Customer Order Inquiries and Email Records: Retained for 18 months from the date of submission to resolve repeat orders, reconcile trade scale weights, and settle administrative accounting.
• Support Desk Chat Transcripts: Retained for 12 months from the final message exchange to ensure staff continuity on customer pantry requests.
• Web Server and Network Security Logs: Retained for 90 days, after which raw IP addresses and HTTP request logs are automatically purged or rotated.
• Consent Registry Selections: Retained in browser local storage for 12 months under site_consent_v2 unless cleared manually by the user.
• Data Subject Privacy Requests: Acknowledged and completed within 14 days of identity verification.

We implement physical, administrative, and technical measures to shield customer records from unauthorized interception, alteration, or disclosure:

• Transport Layer Security: All web pages, form submissions, and chat interactions are encrypted in transit via modern HTTPS (TLS 1.3).
• Input Sanitization and Anti-Spam: Forms utilize server-side field cleansing, type enforcement, timestamp cross-checks, and hidden honeypot validation to thwart automated intrusion.
• Privilege Segregation: Access to the inquiry inbox and server backend is restricted strictly to authorized store personnel under multi-factor authentication.
• Zero Payment Footprint: We intentionally operate an inquiry-only catalogue; because we collect zero credit card numbers, our systems eliminate payment card breach exposure.

If you reside in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you specific statutory rights regarding your personal records:

• Right of Access: You may request confirmation of whether we process your data and receive an unencrypted copy of your inquiry file.
• Right to Rectification: You may demand correction of inaccurate phone numbers, postal addresses, or customer details.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You may request complete deletion of your past inquiry records and chat transcripts.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that we temporarily freeze processing while a dispute over data accuracy is resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request your inquiry data formatted in a structured, machine-readable JSON or CSV document.
• Right to Object: You may object to data processing grounded in legitimate interests or direct marketing at any time.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You may revoke your cookie or marketing consent instantly via our cookie banner or footer control.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and equivalent state privacy statutes in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Pennsylvania:

• Right to Know & Access: You can request disclosure of the categories of personal data collected, categories of sources, commercial purposes, and third parties with whom data is shared.
• Right to Delete: You can request deletion of personal information collected directly from you, subject to legal record retention exemptions.
• Right to Correct: You can require correction of inaccurate personal data on file.
• Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: Kauffman Market does not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. However, under statutory definitions, sharing identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising (such as Google Ads or Meta Ads) may constitute “sharing.” You may opt out of sharing by setting your cookie preferences to “Decline” or transmitting a Global Privacy Control signal.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never deny farm goods, adjust product pricing, or alter counter service quality because you exercised state privacy rights.

We honor the global privacy control (GPC). If your web browser or browser extension transmits the Sec-GPC: 1 HTTP header, our website detects this signal automatically and sets your Consent Mode v2 advertising storage parameters to denied without requiring you to open the cookie banner manually. We treat this technical signal as a valid opt-out of cross-context behavioral advertising under applicable state privacy frameworks.

Kauffman Market operates this website for adult consumers, commercial food partners, and household heads purchasing groceries in Burgettstown.

If a parent or guardian discovers that a child has submitted personal details through our reserve form, please email [email protected], and we will purge the record immediately.

If you believe your personal data has been handled in breach of applicable consumer protection statutes, we invite you to contact us directly so our owner can resolve the grievance. You also retain the right to file an official complaint with relevant regulatory bodies:
