Wander Trail (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates wandertrail.co (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
- Your name and email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter
- Any information you submit through contact forms or comments
Information collected automatically:
- Standard analytics data (pages visited, time on site, general location, device/browser type) via Google Analytics
- Interaction data from Pinterest’s tracking tools, if you arrive via or interact with our Pinterest content
We do not collect sensitive personal information (health, financial account details, government ID numbers) through the Site directly.
2. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content and navigation. This includes Google Analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some Site features may not function fully if cookies are disabled.
3. Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use Brevo, a third-party email service provider, to manage your subscription and send emails. Your email address is stored with Brevo under their own privacy and security practices. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.
4. Affiliate Links
Wander Trail participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program and affiliate partnerships with services like AllTrails. When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We do not receive any personal information about your purchase from these programs beyond aggregated commission data.
5. Purchases and Payment Processing
If you purchase a digital product or service from us, payment is processed by a third-party provider (such as Stripe, Gumroad, or Payhip). We do not store your payment card details. The payment processor’s own privacy policy governs how your payment information is handled. We retain only the information necessary to fulfill your order and provide customer support (e.g., email address, order confirmation).
6. Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites (retailers, trail resources, tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
7. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Send newsletter content you’ve subscribed to
- Understand aggregate visitor trends and content performance
- Respond to inquiries you send us
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, newsletter data until you unsubscribe, or order records for as long as required for accounting and legal purposes.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, and to opt out of certain data processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at team@wandertrail.co.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16, where applicable), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
