Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

At Going Outdaws, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information (if any) is collected when you use this website and how it is handled.

What We Collect

Going Outdaws is a personal, read-only journal website. We do not require you to create an account, submit personal information, or provide an email address to use this site.

If you contact us directly (for example by email), we may receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Local Storage

This website uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferences (such as light/dark mode and distance unit selection). This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Cookies

This website does not set or use cookies. No tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies are used.

Log Files

Our hosting provider may collect standard server log data, including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. This information is used solely for maintaining the security and performance of the website and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Third-Party Services

This website does not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, or any third-party tracking services. Images are served from Amazon S3, and map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap and Esri. These services may collect basic request data (such as your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies.

GDPR Data Protection Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. However, if you believe we hold any information about you (for example from direct contact), you are entitled to:

• Request access to any personal data we may hold
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond within one month.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
