Privacy Policy

This guide collects as little as possible. This page explains what that means.

What Gets Collected

We see ordinary visit data such as pages viewed, device type and rough location. There are no accounts here and no rider profiles to build. Nothing ties your visits to your name.

Vermont Biking Tours keeps data collection to a minimum. The site does not ask you to register, does not run a member area, and does not collect addresses or payment details for any ride, guide service, or trail pass. When you load a page, standard server logs record basics such as browser type and the pages visited, the same as on most websites.

Reading about Kingdom Trails, the Stowe Recreation Path, or any other riding area on this guide does not mean you are booking anything. The site never takes payment, holds a reservation, or passes travel details onward. That work happens with operators and lodgings directly. Because no purchase happens here, no card numbers, billing addresses, or trip itineraries ever touch this site, which keeps things simple on both sides.

Details You Share

Hotel bookings happen on the listing site, not here. When you reserve a stay, that site takes your payment and personal details under its own privacy policy.

This guide collects very little. It asks for no account, no newsletter signup, no booking details and no payment information, because nothing is booked here. When you click an Expedia hotel link, any details you enter, such as your name, card or stay dates, go straight to Expedia on its own secure systems. Those companies handle your information under their own policies.

If you write in asking about the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail or where to stay in Burlington, that message stays with the reply it generates. There is no newsletter list, no sweepstakes entry, and no account creation tied to your activity on the site.

Cookies And Trackers

• A few cookies are strictly needed, such as any that remember a trail-page setting between views.
• Others feed simple usage counts, showing which riding-area guides get opened most.
• Hotel links may set a cookie on their side so a stay you book can be credited back to this guide.

Cookies are small files sites use to remember things between visits. Here they do light work: keeping preferences in place and helping count, in aggregate, which riding-area pages get read. That aggregate view shapes what gets written next, such as deeper coverage of Burlington waterfront paths or gravel loops around Woodstock. The counts carry no names and cannot be traced back to an individual reader by this site.

The site itself runs light. Standard server logs record the usual basics, things like browser type, referring page and approximate region, the same as nearly every website. Advertising partners, including the network behind the Expedia hotel links, may set their own cookies to credit a hotel booking to this site. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing access to any riding guide here.

Your Data Choices

Your browser can refuse or delete cookies at any time. To learn what information this guide holds, or to have it deleted, send an email.

You stay in control. You can decline or delete cookies, browse privately, and use tracking blockers if you prefer, though blocking them may mean a hotel link cannot be attributed to this site. Nothing here is sold or shared with other parties, since the only data involved is what your own browser and Expedia's systems already manage. If you ever have a question about how this guide handles information, a plain email gets a plain answer.
