Privacy Policy
Collection and Use of Information
At College Backpacking we are committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. Any personal information that you provide will be used strictly in accordance with the policies described below. We will not sell your personal information to any outside third parties.

If you purchase a product from us, we request certain personally identifiable information on our order form. Contact information (such as name, email address, telephone number, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date) will be asked of you during order processing.
We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe. Simply reply to the newsletter email with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line, and you will be opted-out.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Personally Identifiable Information
We use a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. We share personally identifiable information with this company. This company does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
We provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

This Web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by College Backpacking. Please be aware that we at College Backpacking are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
