Privacy Policy
Last Updated: Jan 7, 2024
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Trailook, we have a few
fundamental principles:
-
We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and
the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of
our services.
-
We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep
it.
-
We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal
information.
-
We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal
information.
Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these
principles.
Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you
use:
- Our websites (including trailook.com);
-
Our mobile applications (including the Trailook mobile app for Android and
iOS);
Throughout this Privacy Policy we'll refer to our websites, mobile
applications, and other products and services collectively as
"Services". Below we explain how we collect, use, and share
information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to
that information.

This Privacy Policy is available under a
Creative Commons Sharealike
license.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so - for
example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our
Services better. We collect this information from three sources: if and when
you provide information to us, automatically through operating our Services,
and from outside sources. Let's go over the information that we collect.
Information You Provide to Us
It's probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us
directly. Here are some examples:
-
Basic account information: We ask for basic information
from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require
individuals who sign up for a trailook.com account to provide an email
address and password, along with a username or name.
-
Public profile information: If you have an account with us,
we collect the information that you provide for your public profile. For
example, if you have a trailook.com account, your username is part of that
public profile, along with any other information you put into your public
profile, like a photo or an "About Me" description. Your public
profile information is just that - public - so please keep that in mind when
deciding what information you would like to include.
-
Content information: You might provide us with information
about you in draft and published content (a comment that includes biographic
information about you, or any media or files you upload). This might include
sensitive fitness information (including heart rate). By sharing such
information you acknowledge that other users will have public access to it.
-
Payment and contact information: There are various ways in
which you may provide us payment information and -
Communications with us: You may also provide us with
information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our engineers
about a support question, post a question in our public forums, or sign up
for a newsletter. When you communicate with us via form, email, phone,
trailook.com comment, or otherwise, we store a copy of our communications
(including any call recordings as permitted by applicable law).
-
Job applicant information: If you apply for a job with us
you may provide us with information like your name, contact information,
resume or CV, and work authorization verification as part of the application
process.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
-
Log information: Like most online service providers, we
collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically
make available, including the browser type, IP address, unique device
identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of
access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log
information when you use our Services.
-
Transactional information: When you make a purchase through
our Services, we collect information about the transaction, such as product
details, purchase price, and the date and location of the transaction.
-
Usage information: We collect information about your usage
of our Services. We use this information to, for example, provide our
Services to you, get insights on how people use our Services so we can make
our Services better, and understand and make predictions about user
retention.
-
Location information: We may determine the approximate
location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this
information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services
from certain geographic regions. We may also collect information about your
precise location via our mobile apps (like when you post a photograph with
location information) if you allow us to do so through your mobile device
operating system's permissions.
-
Stored information: We may access information stored on
your mobile device via our mobile apps. We access this stored information
through your device operating system's permissions. For example, if you give
us permission to access the photographs on your mobile device's camera roll,
our Services may access the photos stored on your device when you upload a
photo to our Service.
-
Information from cookies & other technologies: A cookie
is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer,
and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor
returns. Trailook uses cookies and other technologies to help us identify
and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services.
Information We Collect from Other Sources
We don't collect information from other sources.
How and Why We Use Information
Purposes for Using Information
We use information about you for the purposes listed below:
-
To provide our Services. For example, to set up and
maintain your account, host your content, backup and restore your content,
provide customer service, process payments and orders, and verify user
information.
-
To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services.
For example, by providing automatic upgrades and new versions of our
Services. Or, for example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact
with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will
enjoy or make our Services easier to use.
-
To place and manage ads in our advertising program. For
example, to place ads on our users' sites and some of our own sites as part
of our advertising program, and understand ad performance.
-
To market our Services and measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness
of our marketing.
For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users
(like those who have a particular plan with us or have been users for a
certain length of time), advertising our Services, analyzing the results of
our marketing campaigns (like how many people purchased a paid plan after
receiving a marketing message), and understanding and forecasting user
retention.
-
To protect our Services, our users, and the public. For
example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against
malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam;
complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property
of Trailook and others, which may result in us, for example, declining a
transaction or terminating Services.
-
To fix problems with our Services. For example, by
monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
-
To customize the user experience. For example, to
personalize your experience by serving you relevant notifications and
content for our Services.
-
To communicate with you. For example, by emailing you to
ask for your feedback, share tips for getting the most out of our products,
or keep you up to date on Trailook; texting you to verify your payment; or
calling you to share offers and promotions that we think will be of interest
to you. If you don't want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing
communications at any time. (If you opt out, we'll still send you important
updates relating to your account.)
-
To recruit and hire new colleagues. For example, by
evaluating job applicants and communicating with them.
Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information
A note here for those in the European Union about our legal grounds for
processing information about you under EU data protection laws, which is that
our use of your information is based on the grounds that: (1) The use is
necessary in order to fulfill our commitments to you under the applicable
terms of service or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer
your account - for example, in order to enable access to our website on your
device or charge you for a paid plan; or (2) The use is necessary for
compliance with a legal obligation; or (3) The use is necessary in order to
protect your vital interests or those of another person; or (4) We have a
legitimate interest in using your information - for example, to provide and
update our Services; to improve our Services so that we can offer you an even
better user experience; to safeguard our Services; to communicate with you; to
measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising; and to
understand our user retention and attrition; to monitor and prevent any
problems with our Services; and to personalize your experience; or (5) You
have given us your consent - for example before we place certain cookies on
your device and access and analyze them later on.
Sharing Information
How We Share Information
We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate
safeguards on your privacy.
-
Subsidiaries and independent contractors: We may disclose
information about you to our subsidiaries and independent contractors who
need the information to help us provide our Services or process the
information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries and independent
contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for any personal information that
we share with them.
-
Third-party vendors: We may share information about you
with third-party vendors who need the information in order to provide their
services to us, or to provide their services to you or your site. This
includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like payment
providers that process your credit and debit card information, fraud
prevention services that allow us to analyze fraudulent payment
transactions, cloud storage services, postal and email delivery services
that help us stay in touch with you, customer chat and email support
services that help us communicate with you); those that assist us with our
marketing efforts (e.g., by providing tools for identifying a specific
marketing target group or improving our marketing campaigns, and by placing
ads to market our services); those that help us understand and enhance our
Services (like analytics providers); those that make tools to help us run
our operations (like programs that help us with task management, scheduling,
word processing, email and other communications, and collaboration among our
teams); other third-party tools that help us manage operations, who may need
information about you in order to, for example, provide technical or other
support services to you. We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments
in order to share information with them.
-
Legal and regulatory requirements: We may disclose
information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other
governmental request.
-
To protect rights, property, and others: We may disclose
information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is
reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Trailook, third
parties, or the public at large. For example, if we have a good faith belief
that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may
disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
-
Business transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of
company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by
another company, or in the unlikely event that Trailook goes out of business
or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets
that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events
were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your
information and the party receiving your information may continue to use
your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
-
With your consent: We may share and disclose information
with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your
information with third parties when you authorize us to do so.
-
Aggregated or de-identified information: We may share
information that has been aggregated or de-identified, so that it can no
longer reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish
aggregate statistics about the use of our Services, or share a hashed
version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other
platforms.
-
Published support requests: If you send us a request for
assistance (for example, via a support email or one of our other feedback
mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in order to
clarify or respond to your request, or to help us support other users.
We have a long-standing policy that we do not sell our users' data. We aren't
a data broker, we don't sell your personal information to data brokers, and we
don't sell your information to other companies that want to spam you with
marketing emails. We show ads and the revenue they generate lets us offer free
access to some of our Services. Under a new California law, the California
Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), some personalized advertising you see
online and on our services might be considered a "sale" even though
we don't share information that identifies you personally as part of our
advertising program. You have an option to opt out of personalized ads.
Information Shared Publicly
Information that you choose to make public is - you guessed it - disclosed
publicly. That means information like your public profile, posts, other
content that you make public, and your "Likes" and comments are all
available to others - and we hope they get a lot of views! Your public photo,
along with other public profile information, displays alongside the comments
and "Likes" that you make on videos while logged in to your
trailook.com account.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information about you when it's no longer needed for the
purposes for which we collect and use it - described in the section above on
How and Why We Use Information - and we're not legally required to keep it.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect
information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or
destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our Services
for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
Choices
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
-
Limit the information that you provide: If you have an
account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account
information, profile information, and transaction and billing information.
Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain
features of our Services - for example, premium features that carry an
additional charge - may not be accessible.
-
Limit access to information on your mobile device: Your
mobile device operating system should provide you with the option to
discontinue our ability to collect stored information or location
information via our mobile apps. If you choose to limit this, you may not be
able to use certain features, like geotagging for photographs.
-
Opt out of marketing communications: You may opt out of
receiving promotional communications from us. Just follow the instructions
in those communications or let us know. If you opt out of promotional
communications, we may still send you other communications, like those about
your account and legal notices.
-
Close your account: While we'd be very sad to see you go,
you can close your account if you no longer want to use our Services. Please
keep in mind that we may continue to retain your information after closing
your account, as described in How Long We Keep Information above - for
example, when that information is reasonably needed to comply with (or
demonstrate our compliance with) legal obligations such as law enforcement
requests, or reasonably needed for our legitimate business interests.
Your Rights
If you are located in certain parts of the world, including California and
countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection
Regulation (aka the "GDPR"), you may have certain rights regarding
your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of
your data.
European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you are located in a country that falls under the scope of the GDPR, data
protection laws give you certain rights with respect to your personal data,
subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the rights to:
- Request access to your personal data;
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data;
- Object to our use and processing of your personal data;
-
Request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data; and
- Request portability of your personal data.
You also have the right to make a complaint to a government supervisory
authority.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") requires us to provide
California residents with some additional information about the categories of
personal information we collect and share, where we get that personal
information, and how and why we use it. The CCPA also requires us to provide a
list of the "categories" of personal information we collect, as that
term is defined in the law, so, here it is. In the last 12 months, we
collected the following categories of personal information from California
residents, depending on the Services used:
-
Identifiers (like your name, contact information, and device and online
identifiers);
-
Commercial information (your billing information and purchase history, for
example);
-
Characteristics protected by law (for example, you might provide your gender
as part of a research survey for us);
-
Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as your
usage of our Services, like the actions you take as an administrator of a
WordPress.com site);
- Geolocation data (such as your location based on your IP address);
-
Audio, electronic, visual or similar information (such as your profile
picture, if you uploaded one);
-
Professional or employment-related information (for example, your company
and team information if you are a Happy Tools user, or information you
provide in a job application); and
- Inferences we make (such as likelihood of retention or attrition).
You can find more information about what we collect and sources of that
information in the Information We Collect section above. We collect personal
information for the business and commercial purposes described in the How and
Why We Use Information section. And we share this information with the
categories of third parties described in the Sharing Information section. If
you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA,
subject to any exemptions provided by the law, including the right to:
-
Request to know the categories of personal information we collect, the
categories of business or commercial purpose for collecting and using it,
the categories of sources from which the information came, the categories of
third parties we share it with, and the specific pieces of information we
collect about you;
- Request deletion of personal information we collect or maintain;
- Opt out of any sale of personal information; and
-
Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights under the
CCPA.
Contacting Us About These Rights
You can usually access, correct, or delete your personal data using your
account settings and tools that we offer, but if you aren't able to or you'd
like to contact us about one of the other rights, scroll down to How to Reach
Us. When you contact us about one of your rights under this section, we'll
need to verify that you are the right person before we disclose or delete
anything. For example, if you are a user, we will need you to contact us from
the email address associated with your account. You can also designate an
authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by giving us written
authorization. We may still require you to verify your identity with us.

How to Reach Us
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy, or you would like to contact
us about any of the rights mentioned in the Your Rights section above, please

Other Things You Should Know
Transferring Information
Because Trailook's Services are offered worldwide, the information about you
that we process when you use the Services in the EU may be used, stored,
and/or accessed by individuals operating outside the European Economic Area
(EEA) who work for us, other members of our group of companies, or third-party
data processors. This is required for the purposes listed in the How and Why
We Use Information section above. When providing information about you to
entities outside the EEA, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the
recipient protects your personal information adequately in accordance with
this Privacy Policy as required by applicable law. These measures include
entering into European Commission approved standard contractual arrangements
with entities based in countries outside the EEA. You can ask us for more
information about the steps we take to protect your personal information when
transferring it from the EU.
Ads and Analytics Services Provided by Others
Ads appearing on any of our Services may be delivered by advertising networks.
Other parties may also provide analytics services via our Services. These ad
networks and analytics providers may set tracking technologies (like cookies)
to collect information about your use of our Services and across other
websites and online services. These technologies allow these third parties to
recognize your device to compile information about you or others who use your
device. This information allows us and other companies to, among other things,
analyze and track usage, determine the popularity of certain content, and
deliver ads that may be more targeted to your interests. Please note this
Privacy Policy only covers the collection of information by Trailook and does
not cover the collection of information by any third-party advertisers or
analytics providers.
Payments
We use Stripe for payment, analytics, and other business services. Stripe
collects and processes personal data, including identifying information about
the devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to
operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud
detection and prevention. You can learn more about Stripe and its processing
activities via privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Trailook may change its Privacy
Policy from time to time. Trailook encourages visitors to frequently check
this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If we do this, we'll provide
notice of the changes, such as by posting the amended Privacy Policy and
updating the "Last Updated" date or, if the changes, in our sole
discretion, are material, we may notify you through our Services or other
communications. Your further use of the Services after a change to our Privacy
Policy will be subject to the updated policy.
Translation
Our Privacy Policy was originally written in English (US). We may translate it
into other languages, and in the event of a conflict between a translated
version of our Privacy Policy and the English version, the English version
will control.
