Privacy

# Privacy Outdoor Collective (“we”) runs this site on Ghost and uses a few standard tools to publish, measure, and stay in touch. This notice explains what that usually means for visitors and email subscribers. It is not legal advice. ## What we may collect - **Site & Ghost platform data.** Ghost and our host may log basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. Ghost may also set cookies needed to run the site (for example, membership or session cookies if you sign in or subscribe). - **Email.** If you subscribe, we receive the email address you provide and related subscription status. We use it to send newsletters or membership messages you opted into. You can unsubscribe via the link in those emails. - **Analytics.** We may use privacy-respecting or standard analytics (including tools Ghost or our theme provides) to understand aggregate traffic—popular posts, referrers, device types—not to sell personal profiles. - **Embedded / third-party content.** Posts may embed or link to third parties (YouTube, Instagram, maps, Amazon, etc.). Those services set their own cookies and collect data under their policies when you interact with them. - **Communications.** If you email us, we keep that correspondence to respond and improve the desk. ## How we use information To operate and secure the site, send requested email, understand what content helps readers, and comply with law when required. We do not sell your personal information. ## Affiliate & advertising partners Affiliate partners (including Amazon Associates) may receive limited referral data when you click through—enough to attribute a purchase—so we can earn a commission. See our [Ethics](/ethics/) page.

## Retention & security We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as our platform providers retain logs. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we use reasonable platform defaults. ## Your choices Unsubscribe from email anytime. Adjust browser cookie settings. Request access or deletion of information we control by emailing us—we’ll do what we can within Ghost and our tools’ limits. ## Contact Questions about privacy: [YourOutdoorCollective@gmail.com](mailto:YourOutdoorCollective@gmail.com) *Last updated: September 30, 2026*
