Privacy Policy
INTERNET PRIVACY
At Alaska Trails, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Alaska Trails never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors, or partners. When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in the Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters. Alaska Trails creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for our use. This enables us to develop trail-related materials of interest to our users more effectively, allowing them to receive information that is pertinent to their needs. We don't track the usage patterns of individual users, so an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about individual users, except as required by applicable law, valid legal process, or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION Alaska Trails uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us better understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY Alaska Trails contracts with secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and pass - word protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.
OPT - OUT POLICY We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include: • Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters • Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users • Opting out on occasional emails sent to our notification lists.
