Information collected automatically
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use this site, such as which pages are viewed, how long visits last, the type of device and browser used and the general area (such as city or region) visitors come from. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs, which can include IP addresses, browser type and the date and time of visits, to keep the site secure and running.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site uses cookies for analytics and to support basic site features. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work.
How we use your information
- To respond to your messages and requests
- To send the newsletters and updates you sign up for
- To process and acknowledge donations
- To review trail stories and, only with your permission, share them
- To understand how the site is used and improve it
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run this website and our programs, such as our web host and Network for Good, which we use for donations and email, and when required by law or to protect against fraud or misuse.
We do not currently use advertising or ad-tracking tools on this site. If we do in the future, for example to measure online ad campaigns, we will update this policy to describe them.
