Privacy Policy

Last updated June 2026

This policy explains what information The Outdoor Dispatch (operated by Epiqara LLC) collects and how we use it. We keep data collection deliberately minimal — you can browse the entire site without an account or telling us who you are.

What we collect

Information you give us. When you submit one of our forms — report a problem with a listing, or request a region — we receive what you type and your email if you choose to include it (it’s optional on both), so we can act on it and reply where relevant. These submissions are sent to us by email; we don’t store them in a database.

Browsing & usage data. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps — for security and to keep the site running.

Aggregate analytics. We use Vercel’s privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics to understand anonymous, aggregate traffic. It sets no cookies and doesn’t track you across other sites.

How we use information

To operate, secure, and improve the site, and to respond to what you send us. We do not sell your personal information, we don’t show advertising, and we don’t share the email you give us except as needed to run the service.

Service providers

We rely on a small number of reputable providers — including Vercel (hosting and cookieless analytics) and Fastmail (email). They process data on our behalf to deliver the service.

Your choices

Any email you give us is optional and removable on request. You can browse with a cookie- or tracker-blocking browser without losing functionality.

Children

The Outdoor Dispatch is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version. Questions? Contact us.
