Privacy Policy

April 8th, 2009

The administrators of this site are committed to protecting the privacy of its users. The information that is provided when a user registers, for example, will not be not be sold or used for unsolicited email. In the running of this web site, information is collected to make each user’s experience more enjoyable. Anonymous information is obtained through this web structure. This type of information cannot be linked to a specific individual. For example, we will know how many people visit this page each day; however, we will not know the specific user name, email address, or any personal information about those visits. This anonymous information allows us to expand the popular aspects of this site and improve the less visited areas. If a user is not registered, only anonymous information is collected.

Personally identifiable information is data that uniquely refers to a specific user, such as a name or email address. This information is largely collected when a user registers. No personally identifiable information including email addresses or the data a user records into the "Personal Information" or "Profile Information" sections will ever be sold or distributed. Information placed into these areas can be viewed by the public; the user may or may not choose to input data into this area. The user has the ability to hide his/her email address and online status from the public. Users often provide this information to help integrate themselves within the Trail Cooking community.
