Welcome to www.halifaxtrails.ca. I value your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how I collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit my website.

1. Information I Collect

I collect information to provide better services to users. This includes:

• Voluntary Information: If you sign up for a newsletter or contact me directly, I may collect your name and email address.

• Automated Information: Like most websites, I use cookies and similar technologies to collect data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited via Google Analytics.

I use the information I collect to:

• Maintain and improve my trail guides and website performance.

• Monitor website traffic and user behaviour via Google Analytics.

• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense.

• Respond to your inquiries or comments.

3. Cookies and Advertising

Google AdSense

I use Google AdSense to serve ads. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to my website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Analytics

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with my site. This helps me optimize content for the Nova Scotia outdoor community.

4. Third-Party Links

My website contains links to third-party websites (such as gear shops or government park sites). I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

5. Data Security

I implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data I hold about you.

• Request that I correct or delete your personal data.

• Opt-out of data collection (e.g., by disabling cookies in your browser).
