Privacy Policy

Riffle & Run operates riffleandrunangling.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, who may receive it, and the choices available to you. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information: information you give us directly and information gathered automatically as you browse. If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message. We use that only to read and respond. Our analytics tools record how visitors use the site, including pages viewed, time on page, the search term or link that brought you here, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type, and operating system. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you by name.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to understand traffic patterns, remember preferences, and measure which pages are useful. Third parties, including advertising networks, may also place cookies or use web beacons and similar technologies when you visit this site or click an ad. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then work differently.

Log Files

Our hosting provider and our servers record standard log files that typically include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, date and time stamps, referring and exit pages, and click counts. We use this data to administer the site, diagnose technical problems, and understand broad audience trends. Log data is not linked to your name.

How We Use the Information

We use collected information to operate and maintain the site, respond to messages, understand which content is useful, fix errors, prevent spam and abuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites. Other vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits so they can measure ad performance and show more relevant ads. These companies may recognize your device across sites. We do not control these technologies, and the data they collect is governed by their own privacy policies.

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You can review and adjust how Google personalizes ads at https://adssettings.google.com. You can opt out of personalized advertising from many other participating companies at https://optout.aboutads.info. Blocking cookies in your browser gives you additional control. Opting out does not remove advertising; it means the ads you see are less tailored to you.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

This policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Review the privacy policies of any third party that serves content or advertising here. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy, and details about how Google uses data from partner sites are at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Children's Privacy

This site is written for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, email [email protected] and we will delete it.

Your California Privacy Rights

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. Requests may be sent to [email protected].

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, including limiting access to messages and relying on reputable service providers. No transmission over the internet or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Email is not encrypted, so please avoid sending sensitive personal details.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after a revision means you accept the updated policy.

Questions About Privacy

If you have questions about this policy or about how your information is handled, email [email protected].
