This Privacy Policy explains how Expedition Edge (“we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit expedition-edge.com.

We take privacy seriously and we do not sell personal data. Ever.

Last updated: February 28, 2026

1) Who we are

Website: Expedition Edge (expedition-edge.com)
Contact: Use the contact page on the site for privacy requests and questions.

2) What we collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the site.

A) Information you provide

• Newsletter sign-up: your email address (and optionally your name, if you provide it)
• Contact forms or email: your name, email address, and whatever you include in the message
• Comments (if enabled): the information you enter in the comment form (such as name, email, website) and the content of your comment

B) Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, we and our service providers may collect:

• Device and browser details (type, version, operating system)
• Approximate location (derived from IP address)
• Usage data (pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, referring/exit pages)
• Log data (IP address, timestamps, error logs) for security and performance

3) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Site functionality (for example: remembering settings)
• Security (reducing spam and abuse)
• Performance and analytics (understanding what content is useful and how the site behaves)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features.

If we use optional analytics or marketing cookies, we aim to provide a consent option where required by law.

4) How we use information

We use collected information to:

• Operate and maintain the site
• Deliver requested content (for example: newsletters)
• Respond to messages and support requests
• Moderate comments and prevent spam
• Measure performance, troubleshoot issues, and improve content
• Protect the site and visitors from fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Meet legal obligations when necessary

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles or sell targeting data.

5) Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process personal data under one or more of these legal bases:

• Consent (for example: newsletter sign-up, non-essential cookies where required)
• Legitimate interests (for example: site security, basic analytics, improving the site)
• Contract (for example: providing something you request)
• Legal obligation (when we must comply with law)

6) Sharing information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help run the site, such as:

• Cloudflare (security, DNS, CDN, performance)
• Hosting providers (site hosting and backups)
• Email delivery providers (newsletter and transactional emails)
• Spam protection tools (comment and form abuse prevention)
• Analytics tools (traffic measurement, if used)

These providers process data only to provide their services to us and are not allowed to use it for their own marketing.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, and the site (for example: responding to lawful requests, investigating abuse, or handling security incidents).

7) Third-party links and embeds

Our site may link to third-party sites (for example: booking platforms, camera gear retailers, maps) or embed content (for example: videos).

Third parties have their own privacy practices. Once you leave our site or interact with an embed, their policies apply.

8) Affiliate links and advertising

Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click and purchase, we may earn a commission. This does not increase your cost.

Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar tracking to attribute purchases. You can manage this via cookie controls and your browser settings.

We do not provide partners with personal data like your email address unless you explicitly provide it to them on their site.

9) Comments

If comments are enabled:

• Your comment and chosen display name may be publicly visible.
• Your email address is not shown publicly (but may be collected for moderation).
• We may use automated spam detection.

Please do not post sensitive personal information in comments.

10) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed:

• Emails/newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion (plus a short period for backups)
• Contact messages: as long as needed to respond and keep records for support or legal reasons
• Logs/security data: retained for a limited time for security and troubleshooting
• Comments: may remain as long as the related post is public, unless removed or deleted on request where applicable

Backups may retain data for a limited time even after deletion requests, until backups rotate out.

11) Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:

• Access to personal information we hold about you
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion of your information
• Objection to certain processing
• Data portability
• Withdrawal of consent (for example: newsletter unsubscribe)
• Filing a complaint with a data protection authority (EEA/UK)

California notice: We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you contact us with a “Do Not Sell or Share” request, we will confirm this policy and help with any applicable access or deletion request.

12) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we try to be smart and careful about it.

13) Children’s privacy

Expedition Edge is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users (for example: a notice on the site).
