• 1. Introduction and Scope

  At Your Whim LLC, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy governs your use of our travel guide resources, routing markers, and planning inquiry system at your-whim.com. By utilizing our resources, you agree to the collection and use of data outlined in this document.

• 2. Log Files and Analytical Telemetry

  Your Whim LLC follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic info.

• 3. Cookies & Web Beacons

  Like any other website, Your Whim LLC uses "cookies". These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

• 4. Personal Information Collection

  When you submit an inquiry through our contact form, we ask for your name and email address. This information is utilized solely to reply to your inquiry and plan your requested travel itinerary. We do not sell, trade, or transfer these personal details to any outside third parties.

• 5. How We Use Your Information

  We utilize the collected parameters to process your travel consultations, send informational updates, resolve route inquiries, and refine our interface. This includes customizing the display of Acadia or Yosemite trail guides to suit regional preferences.

• 6. Data Sharing & Disclosures

  Your Whim LLC does not sell or distribute visitor names, contact details, or message content to third-party marketing companies. We only release details if required by law, to protect our terms of service, or to prevent physical hazard to wilderness travelers.

• 7. Security of Your Information

  We implement industry-standard database encryption protocols, secure socket layers (SSL), and regular database sweeps to shield your personal details from unauthorized intrusion, hacking, or disclosure. However, no electronic transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.

• 8. Third-Party Links & External Services

  Our travel guides contain links to external national parks networks (like Parks Canada and the US National Park Service). Your Whim LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices, tracking tools, or cookies of these external sites.

• 9. GDPR Data Protection Rights

  We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following: the right to access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability.

• 10. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Info)

  Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data it has collected, delete any personal data about the consumer, and request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data not sell that personal data.

• 11. Children's Privacy Protection

  Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. Your Whim LLC does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.

• 12. Data Retention Policy

  We retain user contact emails and inquiry messages for a maximum period of 24 months to facilitate recurrent itinerary consults. After this timeframe, databases automatically anonymize or purge data logs.

• 13. Cross-Border Data Transfers

  Because Your Whim LLC operates in the United States, visitor data submitted through contact forms is hosted on US servers. By utilizing our resources, you consent to the storage and routing of your information within the US region.

• 14. Changes & Consent

  We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates are active immediately upon publishing. By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms and conditions.
