NorthstridePrivacy Policy
Northstride is dedicated to guarding your personal data and ensuring transparent information practices across our outdoor hiking resource. This policy clarifies what personal details we collect, the reasons for processing them, and how your privacy rights are safeguarded.
Data Controller
Northstride Journal Ltd. acts as the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through the Northstride website. For inquiries concerning data processing practices, record corrections, or privacy safeguards, you may contact our dedicated privacy representative via our published contact form or official email address.
Legal framework
We handle personal records under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 alongside the governing statutes of United Kingdom. Should these lines diverge from applicable law, legal statute always supersedes.
Data Collected
We collect information voluntarily submitted through our contact and feedback forms, including your name, email address, and message contents. Additionally, our web servers automatically log technical metadata such as your anonymized internet protocol address, browser type, referring pages, access timestamps, and aggregate analytics metrics gathered via configured cookies.
Purposes and Legal Basis
We process personal data based on legitimate business interests to maintain site security, detect unauthorized access, optimize trail content layout, and resolve user technical questions. When you submit inquiries through our contact forms or opt in to non-essential analytics tracking, we process those details on the legal basis of your direct consent.
Storage Period
Standard web server access logs are retained for a routine security window of thirty to ninety days before automated erasure. Contact form messages and editorial correspondence are retained only as long as necessary to answer your inquiry or address recurring trail reports, after which records are securely purged from our active databases.
Third-Party Services
Northstride uses reputable third-party infrastructure partners, including managed cloud hosting facilities, content delivery networks, and specialized web analytics vendors. These entities process digital operational data solely on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for independent commercial aims.
Your Rights
Under applicable data protection legislation, you possess the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your personal data held by us. You may also object to specific processing activities, restrict data handling, withdraw prior consent, or lodge a formal inquiry with your regional data protection supervisory authority if you believe our data practices violate privacy standards.
