LATEST NEWS!
As we approach the end of the year for 2011, the lake levels on Lake Lanier continue to decrease about a foot a week on average. At this point in mid November, we are approaching the 13 foot below full pool level with little to no rains in sight throughout the winter months. As the lake decreases, I have often found that fishing gets better and better ... just remember to listen to what the fish are telling you!
Please remember to review your lake map as I continue to see a few people going over very dangerous structure and timber out there. Please remember to use caution for yourself and others.
Everyone be safe fishing!
Happy Fishing! :-)

Privacy Policy
Below is the privacy policy that protects our company, Lanier Secrets as well as the website
http://www.laniersecrets.com.
Should you have any concerns or questions needing addressed, please contact Lanier Secrets privacy department at support@laniersecrets.com.
Information Collection and Use:
Information Collection
Lanier Secrets is the sole owner of the information collected on http://www.laniersecrets.com. Lanier Secrets collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Service Request
Additionally, we request information from the consumer in our free estimate  process. A user must provide detailed information about the service requested. No financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date) is collected. This information is used to match consumers with appropriate service professionals. The information may also be used to contact the consumer to verify or clarify their service request.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that detail their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user's personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user's visit to our Web site and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share your profile with other third parties.
Third Party Advertising
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). We have no access or control over these cookies once our business partners have been given permission to set cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Lanier Secrets only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. Currently, Lanier Secrets does not employ third-party advertising or ad serving technology on http://www.laniersecrets.com.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use a tracking utility called MKStats, as well as internally built applications that use log files to analyze user movement.
Communications from the Site:
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a bi-monthly newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user's wishes.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information
Currently, Lanier Secrets does not share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
Third Party Advertisers
Lanier Secrets does not share Web site usage information about users with third parties for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on their site and network of sites.

These are the instances in which we will share users' personal information:
We share personal information, such as telephone numbers, physical addresses and email addresses only when an approved member of our service professional network accepts a lead from a registered user, and that user indicates what personal information they are willing to share. No personal information is shared if there is not a match between the service request submitted by a user and a member of our service provider network.
Business Transitions
In the event Lanier Secrets goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via email and a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. For example, our service request form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who submit a service request from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the email or email us at support@laniersecrets.com.

Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Lanier Secrets is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site. On occasion, a partner site will employ our matching engine in a co-branded format. A co-branded web page includes both the Lanier Secrets logo and/or URL and the partner sites logo and/or URL, but does not appear to be part of the Lanier Secrets web site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Lanier Secrets will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Lanier Secrets stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. The friend may contact Lanier Secrets at support@laniersecrets.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to support@laniersecrets.com.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this Web site to properly fulfill its obligation to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
Enhancement of Marketing Profile
Occasionally, we purchase third party marketing data and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users would be interested in. We use this information to enhance or overlay the 'profile' of individual users. This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied to the users' personally identifiable information. See also the "Profile."
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support at support@laniersecrets.com. Or, contact us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If we use personally identifiable information of users in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
