Last updated: June 2026

BlackTrailRides.com is a directory and event hub for Black trail riding communities across the South. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions? Email beharris234@gmail.com.

01

What We Collect

  • Email & newsletter signups — your name and email address when you subscribe to event alerts and community news.
  • Vendor submissions — business name, contact info, and description when vendors apply to be listed.
  • Analytics cookies — basic usage data such as pages visited, referring site, and browser type, used to understand how the site is used.
  • Affiliate click tracking — when you click a gear link, we record that the click happened (and which product) so we can understand which recommendations are useful and so Amazon can attribute qualifying purchases to us.
  • Payments — vendor payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
