Privacy Policy
ARF Quest is built to be useful without requiring an account, subscription, or personal profile.
We try to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible.
Information We Collect
ARF Quest does not currently require user accounts, logins, comments, or personal profiles.
We do not intentionally ask visitors to provide personal information simply to view trails, campgrounds, GPS tracks, videos, or other content on the site.
Basic Website Logs
Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically process basic technical information when you visit ARF Quest.
This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, and the date and time of a request.
This information may be used for normal website operation, security, troubleshooting, performance, and abuse prevention.
Third-Party Services
ARF Quest uses third-party services to provide some features of the website.
For example, embedded videos may be provided by YouTube, and maps may use data or services from OpenStreetMap and related mapping infrastructure.
When you interact with third-party content, those services may receive technical information about your visit and may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.
ARF Quest does not control the privacy practices of those third-party services.
Cookies
ARF Quest does not currently use its own cookies for user accounts, advertising, personalization, or tracking.
Third-party content embedded on the site may use cookies or similar technologies independently of ARF Quest.
Analytics
If ARF Quest uses website analytics, we may collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as popular pages, general traffic patterns, device types, and referral sources.
We do not intend to use analytics to build personal profiles of individual visitors.
External Links
ARF Quest may link to government agencies, mapping services, video platforms, support services, and other third-party websites.
Once you leave ARF Quest, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.
Support and Donations
If you choose to support ARF Quest through a third-party service such as Ko-fi, payment and account information is handled by that service.
ARF Quest does not directly process or store your payment card information.
Changes to This Policy
ARF Quest will probably change over time, and this privacy policy may change with it.
If we add features that materially change how information is collected or used, this page will be updated to reflect those changes.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can contact ARF Quest.
