Privacy Policy

Wild Scandinavia firmly respects your privacy and will attempt to ensure that personal information about visitors is handled responsibly.

 

Browsing our website

You can browse wildscandinavia.com/scandinavianconservation.com subject to our website Terms of Service without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect from an typical ordinary web site visit (one that does not involve a form submission) is your IP address, the pages you view and the date and time you view them. We use this information to measure site activity in order to improve the usefulness of our website to our visitors.

 

Collection of personally identifiable information

When a visitor asks us to provide information or a service, we request information that enables us to respond to the visitor. This information could include contact information (such as name, mailing address, and email address) and, if applicable, financial, payment, or billing information.

 

Wild Scandinavia may gather email addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors when such data is voluntarily submitted to scandinavianconservation.com. For example, our site uses submission forms for visitors to sign up for newsletters; request information, services, or products; or to become a member. Email addresses from the submission form will be used only for the purpose of contacting you about the particular work party, event, online order or other interaction. You will receive unrelated emails only if you have specifically opted-in to one of our mailing lists at the time you provided it.

 

Other contact information (e.g., mailing address) may be used to contact you about opportunities with SCE that we feel may be of interest to you. Financial information is used to bill visitors in connection with their orders. Wild Scandinavia cannot insure against invasion by security breakers of any manner.

 

Wild Scandinavia makes every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information using industry-accepted data collection and encryption methodologies.

Wild Scandinavia does not sell, trade or otherwise disclose such user information outside our organization. However, if you become a member of Wild Scandinavia, some information on our membership lists, such as your name and address, may be exchanged with other organizations. Wild Scandinavia members may opt out of such membership list exchanges.

 

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file stored on a visitor’s computer that contains information about the visitor. Like most websites, Wild Scandinavia may place a cookie in the browser files of a visitor’s computer. We use persistent cookies to store your information when you sign up for a work party so that you will not have to re-enter it when you sign up again. 

 

Use of Location Data

When you are using the Wild Scandinavia smartphone application or accessing this website on a mobile device, we may determine your current location and use that information to help you find nearby hikes. We do not share your location information with any third parties, nor do we use it for any purpose other than to determine your distance from the hikes in our database. If you are not comfortable with this, you may disable the use of location services in the application settings at any time. Please note that our smartphone application can also be used to obtain turn-by-turn directions to reach the hikes in our database.

Using this functionality will not send your location information to the Wild Scandinaiva website, but it may result in your location data being sent to the provider of your phone’s default mapping application.
