This Privacy Policy explains how Trail Packed (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit trailpacked.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Information you provide: if you email us, we receive your email address, name (if provided) and the contents of your message.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, our servers and service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies: we and our partners use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies as described below.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites work, remember preferences, measure traffic and deliver advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
Google AdSense and third-party advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this Site. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or, in the EU, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Third-party vendors and ad networks, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and similar identifiers to measure ad performance, limit how often you see an ad, prevent fraud and personalize ads. Their use of this information is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland), consent will be requested before cookies are used for personalized ads.
Affiliate links
Some pages on the Site may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer or affiliate network (for example, Amazon Associates, Impact, CJ, Awin or similar programs) may use cookies or similar technologies to record that you came from our Site so we can be credited with a commission. We do not receive your payment details from these retailers. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are popular. These tools may set cookies and collect usage data in aggregated or pseudonymous form.

How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with service providers that help us run the Site (such as hosting, security, analytics and advertising partners), when required by law, or to protect our rights. Some advertising-related sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain U.S. state privacy laws; you can opt out of personalized advertising using the links above.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising. To make a request, email info@trailpacked.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Third-party links
The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
