Privacy Policy

01 Introduction

Terrain360 is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit terrain360.com, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have over it — wherever you're visiting from.

02 Data we collect

We don't collect identifying data — name, email, or phone — unless you give it to us directly, such as when you contact us. The data we do collect is:

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, time zone, operating system, and similar device information used to serve the site.
• Usage data — how you move through the site: pages visited, time spent, and which features you use.
• Aggregated data — anonymized statistics derived from the above (such as overall traffic patterns) that can't be used to identify you.

03 How we collect it

• Automatically — technical and usage data gathered through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies as you browse.
• When you give it to us — anything you submit directly, used only to respond to your request.

04 Imagery of public places

Separately from website analytics, our core work is photographing trails, rivers and public lands. Capture happens from public rights-of-way and publicly accessible routes, or with the permission of the land manager, and is aimed at the corridor itself — the trail surface, the waterway, the conditions and the surrounding landscape.

Because these are public places, people, vehicles and other identifying details can appear incidentally in the frame. We don't seek them out, we don't attempt to identify anyone, and we don't use the imagery to track individuals or link them to any other data we hold.

If you appear in a Terrain360 scene — or your vehicle, home frontage or another identifying detail does — you can ask us to blur or remove it. Send us the scene link or a description of the location and we'll deal with it; we don't require you to explain why, and there's no charge.

05 How we use it

We only use your data where the law allows — to provide and improve the site, keep it secure, understand how it's used, and meet legal obligations. Anonymized aggregated data may be used for analytics and improving our services without identifying you.

06 Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We share it only with:

• Service providers — hosting and IT partners bound by contract to protect it.
• Legal authorities — where required by law or to protect our rights.
• A business transfer — if Terrain360 is ever merged or acquired, your data stays subject to this policy.

07 Security & retention

We protect your data with encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of internet transmission is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or to meet legal requirements; anonymized data may be kept indefinitely.

08 Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, or to object to or withdraw consent for its processing. To exercise any of these, contact us below — we may need to verify your identity first.

09 Cookies & third-party links

We use cookies to run the site, understand usage, and improve it; you can manage them in your browser settings. The site may link to third-party sites we don't control — this policy doesn't cover them, so review their policies before sharing data.

10 International visitors

Our servers are in the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, your data is processed here, with appropriate safeguards in place under applicable data-protection laws.

11 Changes

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. Updates are posted here, and significant changes will be flagged prominently.
