The Short Version:
We collect very little, we sell nothing, and most of what we do collect is the boring technical kind that keeps a website standing. Details below, jargon defined as we go.
Who We Are
CamperishTrails.com is a camping blog for beginners. This page explains what information the site handles, why, and what say you have in it. There’s no comments system on CamperishTrails, so a whole category of data collection you’d find on other blogs simply doesn’t happen here.
What You Give Us Directly
If you email us, we receive whatever you send — typically your name, email address, and message. We use it to reply, and for nothing else.
What’s Collected Automatically
Like nearly every website, CamperishTrails uses a few standard tools:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records basic technical details of visits — things like IP address, browser type, and pages requested. This is standard web plumbing, used for security and keeping the site running.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics and Yoast SEO to understand, in aggregate, which guides people find useful — total visits, popular pages, rough geography. We look at patterns, not people.
- Cookies. A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser so things work smoothly and visits can be counted. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings any time; the site will still work, though analytics will count you less.
What We Do — and Don’t Do — With It
As stated above, we only get what you emailed us. Other than that what’s collected is automatic by hosting server and analytics. We do not sell your personal information, rent it, or trade it. Ever.
Third Parties We Rely On
A few reputable services process data on our site: our hosting company, Google Analytics and Yoast SEO. Each has its own privacy policy governing its side of the work. Additionally, some outbound links on CamperishTrails may be affiliate links — meaning if you buy something after clicking, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate programs use their own cookies to credit the referral; that tracking belongs to them, happens on their sites, and is described in their policies.
How Long We Keep Things
Contact emails stay in our inbox as long as they’re useful for the conversation, then get archived or deleted. Analytics data is retained per tool’s standard settings.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, privacy laws may give you rights over your personal information — such as asking what we hold about you, or asking us to correct or delete it. Formal frameworks aside, our working policy is simpler: contact us with any request about your own information, and we’ll honour it wherever we reasonably can. You can also block cookies in your browser.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and refresh the effective date.
