Trek­Square Pri­vacy Policy

What infor­ma­tion do we col­lect and how do we use it?

You may browse this web­site with­out iden­ti­fy­ing your­self or pro­vid­ing any per­son­ally iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion about your­self. When you inter­act with TrekSquare.com through your com­puter, how­ever, the website’s server does record cer­tain non-identifying site usage data, such as the num­ber of vis­its to web­site pages.

If you elect to reg­is­ter and post con­tent at Trek­Square, you will be asked to pro­vide per­sonal infor­ma­tion that may include items such as your name, an email address or a pho­to­graph. With the excep­tion of your email address, any infor­ma­tion you share with Trek­Square is poten­tially pub­licly acces­si­ble. Please keep in mind that when­ever you vol­un­tar­ily dis­close per­sonal infor­ma­tion online, e.g. on mes­sage boards, through email, or in chat areas, that infor­ma­tion may be col­lected and used by others.

The Trek­Square web­site cur­rently does not use ‘cook­ies’ (which are alphanu­meric iden­ti­fiers that are trans­ferred to your com­puter through your web browser). If that changes in the future, this Pri­vacy Pol­icy will be updated to reflect that fact.

Do we share your information?

We do not sell, rent or oth­er­wise pro­vide your email address under any cir­cum­stances, except as com­pelled by law. In all cases, how­ever, we will only use your infor­ma­tion as per­mit­ted by law.

The only times we may dis­close per­son­ally iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion are if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is nec­es­sary to (a) com­ply with the law or with legal process; (b) pro­tect and defend our rights and prop­erty; © pro­tect against mis­use or unau­tho­rized use of the Site; or (d) pro­tect the per­sonal safety or prop­erty of our users or the pub­lic. If we are required by law to dis­close the infor­ma­tion that you have sub­mit­ted, we first will attempt to pro­vide you with notice (unless we are pro­hib­ited) that a request for your infor­ma­tion has been made in order to give you an oppor­tu­nity to object to the dis­clo­sure. We will attempt to pro­vide this notice by email, assum­ing you have given us an email address. If you do not chal­lenge the dis­clo­sure request, we may be legally required to turn over your information.

In addi­tion, we will inde­pen­dently object to any and all requests for access to infor­ma­tion about users of Trek­Square that we believe to be improper.

The bot­tom line is that we are will­ing and pre­pared to spend a long time rot­ting in jail before we hand over your email address to any­one. Know of any other web­sites that are will­ing to go to those lengths?

Changes to this Pri­vacy Policy

Trek­Square may amend this Pri­vacy Pol­icy from time to time.  Use of infor­ma­tion we col­lect now is sub­ject to the Pri­vacy Pol­icy in effect at the time such infor­ma­tion is used.  If we make changes in the way we use Per­sonal Infor­ma­tion, we will notify you by post­ing an announce­ment on our Ser­vice or send­ing you an email.  Users are bound by any changes to the Pri­vacy Pol­icy when he or she uses the Ser­vice after such changes have been first posted.

If you have any ques­tions or con­cerns regard­ing pri­vacy using the Ser­vice, please con­tact us. We will make every effort to resolve your concerns.
