Exploring the outdoors while respecting your privacy
Welcome to our little corner of the internet! Just like when you’re out on the trail, we believe in leaving no trace when it comes to your personal data. Here’s how we handle your information while keeping things simple and respectful.
1. Info we collect (and why)
We only collect what’s necessary to make your experience smooth—no unnecessary baggage here!
Basic Info: If you sign up for a newsletter or drop us a message, we might collect your name and email address to stay in touch.
Trail Markers (a.k.a Cookies): Our website may use cookies to help it run better, like remembering your preferences. But don’t worry, no cookie overload.
Analytics: We keep an eye on general trends (like how many people visit our site) to improve your experience. It’s like checking the weather before heading out—helpful, but nothing too personal.
2. Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content, like YouTube videos, for example. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Below you can find a list of the services we use:
Youtube
We use YouTube videos embedded on our site. YouTube has its own cookie and privacy policies over which we have no control. There is no installation of cookies from YouTube and your IP is not sent to a YouTube server until you consent to it. See their privacy policy here: YouTube Privacy Policy.
3. Who Has Access To Your Data
If you are not a registered client for our site, there is no personal information we can retain or view regarding yourself.
If you are a client with a registered account, your personal information can be accessed by:
- Our system administrators.
- Our supporters when they (in order to provide support) need to get the information about the client accounts and access.
4. How we use your info

We promise to use your details responsibly, just like you’d pack out your trash on a hike. That means:
Keeping you updated on content, trips, or news (only if you opt-in).
Improving the website so it runs as smoothly as a well-worn trail.
Never selling your info—because that’s just bad trail etiquette.
5. Security on the trail
We take reasonable precautions to protect your info, just like you’d secure your gear before a trek. But as with any journey, no system is 100% foolproof, so always practice safe browsing.
6. Your Data Rights
General Rights
If you have a registered account on this website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we retain, including any additional data you have provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any of the personal data we have stored. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In short, we cannot erase data that is vital to you being an active customer (i.e. basic account information like an email address).
If you wish that all of your data is erased, we will no longer be able to offer any support or other product-related services to you.
GDPR Rights
Your privacy is critically important to us. Going forward with the GDPR we aim to support the GDPR standard. It is the intent of Alpine Fuzzies to comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation. For more details please see here: EU GDPR Information Portal.
You have control
Just like choosing your own adventure, you have control over your data:
Opt-out anytime from emails—no hard feelings.
Adjust your cookie settings to limit tracking.
Request deletion of your info if you ever want to disappear from our system (metaphorically, of course).
7. Changes to this policy and questions
If we ever update this policy, we’ll make sure to let you know. Think of it like checking a map update before setting out—it’s always good to stay informed!

Happy adventuring, and thanks for trusting us with your journey!
