Information We Collect

• Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you contact us.
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and referring URLs, collected automatically via analytics tools.

Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our site, and may display advertising (such as Google AdSense) to help support the cost of producing free content. These providers use cookies to collect aggregated, non-identifying data and, for advertising, to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info, and opt out of Google Analytics tracking with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Links

Country Trailhead participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other outdoor-retailer affiliate programs. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party websites, including state wildlife agencies, license vendors, and retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information you send us. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Country Trailhead is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our site, please contact us so we can remove it.
