Alternative Privacy Policy

Trail to Juneteenth Effective Date: October 31, 2025

 

Our Mission and Your Privacy

At Trail to Juneteenth, our primary goal is to provide rich, historical education. We believe in complete transparency and are committed to protecting your personal information. Our policies are designed to be as minimal and secure as possible.

 

1. The Information We Collect

We only collect data necessary to run the Website and improve your experience.

• Information You Provide Directly: This includes your Email Address and Name when you voluntarily sign up for our email newsletter or contact us through a form. We use this to send you the content you requested and to respond to your specific inquiries.

• Information We Collect Automatically (Usage Data): Like nearly all websites, we use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to gather non-personal data about your visit. This data includes your IP address, the pages you view, the time you spend on the site, and the type of device you use. This information is anonymized and aggregated to help us understand site traffic, improve our content, and ensure the website functions correctly.

 

2. How We Protect Your Data (Security Commitment)

We take security seriously and are committed to keeping your information safe.

• No Sale of Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

• Security Measures: We use industry-standard security practices, including SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transfer, secure servers, and strict access controls. While we strive for maximum security, remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

• Third-Party Services: We rely on essential third-party service providers (like web hosting and email distribution platforms) to operate the Website. These providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their services on our behalf and are required to keep that information confidential and secure.

 

3. Your Rights and Choices

You are in control of your data.

• Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you and ask that we correct any inaccuracies.

• Opt-Out of Communications: If you subscribe to our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the "unsubscribe" link found in every email.

• Cookie Management: Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete them after your visit, though this may affect site functionality.

• Deletion Requests: You can request the deletion of your personal data by contacting us via email (see Contact Information below).

 

4. Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
