Privacy Policy & Accessibility — Midway Manor
This Privacy Policy and Accessibility Statement applies to Midway Manor and the website midway-manor.com. It explains what personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, and how you can exercise your rights. It also describes our ongoing commitment to digital accessibility for all guests and visitors. By using our website or making a booking, you agree to the practices described here.

Overview

Midway Manor is a privately owned boutique estate located in Midway, Georgia. We operate midway-manor.com as an informational and booking website. We are committed to protecting your personal information, being transparent about our data practices, and ensuring our website and services are accessible to every guest regardless of ability.

This policy covers information collected through our website, by email or phone inquiry, through third-party booking platforms (such as Airbnb or VRBO), and in connection with stays and events at the property.

Our approach: We collect only the information we need to provide you with a great experience. We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your information for advertising purposes. We are not an advertising-supported service.

We collect information in three ways: information you give us directly, information gathered automatically when you use our website, and information received from third-party platforms when you book through them.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit midway-manor.com, our website may automatically collect limited technical information including your browser type, device type, referring website, pages visited, and approximate geographic region. This information is used only to understand how our website is used and to improve the visitor experience. See Section 5 (Cookies) for details.

Information from Third-Party Platforms

If you book through Airbnb, VRBO, or another platform, that platform may share your name, contact information, and reservation details with us in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any platform you use to book.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To fulfill your booking — confirming reservations, providing check-in instructions, coordinating your stay, and processing payments.
  • To communicate with you — responding to inquiries, sending pre-arrival details, post-stay follow-up, and any necessary notifications about your booking.
  • To protect the property and guests — verifying guest eligibility (including age verification), documenting agreements, and managing security deposits and damage assessments.
  • To comply with legal obligations — maintaining records required by Georgia state law, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and enforcing our Terms & Conditions.
  • To improve our services — analyzing website usage patterns and guest feedback to enhance the experience at Midway Manor.
  • To provide accessibility accommodations — using information you voluntarily share about your needs to arrange appropriate support for your visit.
We will never use your information to send unsolicited marketing communications without your express consent, and we will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes.

Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with trusted service providers who help us operate our business — including payment processors, email service providers, and booking management tools. These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us, and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

Booking Platforms

If your reservation was made through Airbnb, VRBO, or a similar platform, information may be shared between us and the platform in accordance with your agreement with that platform. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for full details.

Legal Compliance & Safety

We may disclose information when required by law, in response to valid legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any person, prevent fraud, or protect our rights and property.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event of a sale, merger, or transfer of Midway Manor ownership, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change and the privacy practices applicable to your data going forward.

We do not share your personal information with: advertisers, data brokers, marketing networks, or any party for their own commercial use.

Security

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS) for all data submitted through our website
  • Payment data handled exclusively by PCI-compliant third-party payment processors — we do not store full card numbers or CVV codes
  • Access to personal data limited to those with a legitimate business need
  • Secure storage of signed agreements and guest records
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take your privacy seriously and implement appropriate safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at connect@midway-manor.com.

Your Rights

Regardless of where you live, we honor the following rights with respect to your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at connect@midway-manor.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Access

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Correction

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

Deletion

Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention obligations.

Portability

Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Objection

Object to how we process your information in certain circumstances.

Restriction

Ask us to limit how we use your data while a concern is being resolved.

We do not discriminate against anyone who exercises their privacy rights. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Some requests may be limited where retention is required by law — for example, financial records required for tax purposes.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Bookings require the primary guest to be at least 25 years of age.

Children and minors may stay at the property as part of a family group under the supervision of the adult primary guest, who assumes full responsibility for them. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at connect@midway-manor.com and we will take prompt action to delete it.

Accessibility Statement

Midway Manor is committed to ensuring that our website — and the experience of staying or hosting an event at our property — is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that every guest deserves equal access to information and hospitality, and we actively work to remove barriers that may prevent full participation.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Target Standard
ADA Title III — Website Access
Ongoing & Active Remediation
Alternative Formats Available

Our Website Commitment

We aim for midway-manor.com to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.1 AA is the widely recognized international benchmark for web accessibility and is referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for website accessibility compliance.

Our ongoing efforts include:

  • Keyboard navigation — all website functions can be accessed using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.
  • Screen reader compatibility — pages use semantic HTML, ARIA landmark roles, and descriptive alt text for images to support assistive technologies.
  • Skip navigation links — a “Skip to main content” link appears at the top of each page for keyboard and screen reader users.
  • Color contrast — text and interactive elements meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
  • Resizable text — text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Descriptive link text and form labels — links and form fields include descriptive text so purpose is clear out of context.
  • Visible focus indicators — interactive elements display a visible focus outline when navigated by keyboard.
  • Responsive design — the site adapts to mobile devices, tablets, and varying viewport sizes without loss of functionality.
  • Print accessibility — key pages including this policy are optimized for print using CSS print styles, with navigation collapsed.
Known limitations: While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some third-party content (such as embedded booking widgets or external platform iframes) may not yet fully meet these standards. We are actively working with our vendors and platform partners to address these gaps. If you encounter any accessibility barrier on our site, please let us know and we will prioritize a fix.

Physical Property Accessibility

Midway Manor is a historic private estate. We recognize that the physical property may present challenges for guests with certain mobility or sensory needs. We are committed to being transparent about the property’s current features and limitations, and to working with guests individually to accommodate their needs wherever possible.

Guests with accessibility needs related to the physical property are encouraged to contact us before booking so we can discuss the specific layout, available features, and any accommodations we can arrange. We will always provide an honest assessment and do everything within our means to support your visit.

Requesting Accommodations

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website or need an accommodation to fully enjoy your stay at Midway Manor, we want to hear from you. We take all accessibility requests seriously and will respond promptly.

Accessibility & Accommodation Requests

We will acknowledge all requests within 2 business days and work toward a resolution as quickly as possible. Alternative formats, including large print documents, plain-text versions, or assistance via phone, are available on request.

If Your Request Is Not Resolved

If you contact us with an accessibility concern and are not satisfied with our response, you may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division at ada.gov, or contact the Southeast ADA Center at adasoutheast.org, which serves Georgia.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy and Accessibility Statement from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or accessibility standards. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

For significant changes that affect how we use your personal information, we will provide more prominent notice — such as an email notification (if we have your address on file) or a banner on our website. Continued use of our website or services after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Version history: This is the initial published version of this policy, effective April 2026. This policy supersedes all prior informal privacy practices.
