Our website address is: https://nextstoptrails.com
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized hash created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors could download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can opt in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when posting additional comments. These cookies will remain for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply notes the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on NextStopTrails.com may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also access and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on NextStopTrails.com, you can request an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
