Privacy Policy

Welcome to our Privacy Policy


ConnecticutExplorer.blogspot.com is a local personal weblog in Connecticut USA. It endeavors to share expert information about hyper-local leisure activities such as hiking and biking opportunities that would be too obscure and have too defined an audience to attract the attention of large publications. A free website is the ideal media for distributing such information.

Every effort has been made on the part of the publisher of ConnecticutExplorer.blogspot.com to offer a barrier-free and anonymous experience. As the publisher of this website, I am personally annoyed when I encounter sites that require a login, password, and email address just to view content for a few minutes. I strongly believe that the world-wide-web has been polluted by pop-ups, surveys, and unnecessary distractions. This weblog project was partly started with the intent of offering a clean user experience out of a frustration with not being able to find concise and trustworthy information about hiking trails without signing up for a paid membership. There are no logins, user accounts, or email addresses required to receive the complete information presented on this website.

As a fellow consumer of information, I hope and advocate for information delivery technology that can function optimally without the need for user data collection. For the time being, a modest level of compromise is required to make this website project work. The technologies that make the information that ConnecticutExplorer.blogspot.com offers to share available for free through the convenience of search require a minimal amount user information to function effectively. ConnecticutExplorer.blogspot.com also collects a modest income to support its purpose through Google Adsense advertising. For the purpose of search optimization and to serve appropriate advertising this website, through its partners, collects geographical, search history, and other user-generated information that is discussed in the terms below.

Your privacy is critically important!
