Aiken Living Guide exists to help you get to know Aiken, South Carolina — its neighborhoods, traditions, events, and everyday rhythm. Trust is at the heart of that, and it starts with being straightforward about how this website handles your information.
Who We Are
Aiken Living Guide is a local lifestyle resource about Aiken, South Carolina, created with local insight from Linda Limehouse, AI-Certified Realtor® with Meybohm Real Estate, serving Aiken, North Augusta, Augusta, and the CSRA. This policy applies to this website only. Linda's main real estate website, firstaiagent.com, and any third-party tools linked from this site maintain their own privacy practices.
Information We Collect
We keep things simple. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Information you share with us directly — such as your name, email address, phone number, and message when you fill out a contact form, send an email, or ask a question about life in Aiken.
- Scheduling details — if you book a call through our scheduling link, the appointment service collects the name, email, and time slot you provide so the call can be confirmed.
- Website usage information — standard analytics data such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, and the general region you're visiting from. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
- Cookies — small files that help the site remember preferences and help us understand which guides and pages are most helpful.
We do not ask for, and you should not submit, sensitive information such as financial account numbers or government identification through this site.
How We Use Your Information
Information shared with Aiken Living Guide is used only for purposes you'd reasonably expect:
- Responding to your questions about Aiken, relocating, visiting, or local life
- Scheduling and confirming calls you request
- Sending information you've specifically asked for, such as local guides or follow-up answers
- Improving the website by understanding which pages and guides are most useful
- Keeping the site secure and functioning properly
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't add you to mailing lists you didn't ask to join.
Cookies & Analytics
Like most websites, Aiken Living Guide may use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. This helps us see, for example, whether people find the Downtown Aiken guide or the relocation pages most helpful, so we can keep improving them.
You can manage or disable cookies anytime through your browser settings. The site will still work — you may just lose a few small conveniences, like remembered preferences.
Third-Party Services
A few trusted tools help this site run smoothly. These may include:
- Scheduling tools (such as Google Calendar appointment links) when you book a call
- Email providers used to receive and respond to your messages
- Analytics services that provide aggregated website statistics
- Website hosting and form services that process submissions securely
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the information it processes. We encourage you to review their policies if you'd like the full details. Links to outside websites — local businesses, event pages, community resources — are provided for your convenience, and those sites manage their own privacy practices.
How We Protect & Retain Information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, including using reputable service providers and limiting access to messages and submissions. We keep contact information only as long as needed to respond to you, continue a conversation you've started, or meet any legal requirements — and no longer.
That said, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure, so please use good judgment about what you share online.
Your Choices & Rights
You're always in control of your information. At any time, you can:
- Ask what information we have from your past messages or form submissions
- Request a correction or update to your contact details
- Ask us to delete your information from our records
- Opt out of any follow-up communication — just say the word
- Adjust or block cookies through your browser
To make any of these requests, simply reach out through our contact page. We'll respond promptly and kindly — the same way we'd answer any question about Aiken.
Children's Privacy
Aiken Living Guide is written for adults exploring life in Aiken. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, please contact us and we'll remove it.
Updates to This Policy
From time to time, we may update this privacy policy to reflect new tools, features, or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted clearly so you're never caught off guard.
