Site activity information. We keep track of some of the actions you make while in the portal, such as creating a photo album, sending messages, using the Q&A Center, indicating you “like” a post, and attending an event/trip. In some cases you are also taking an action when you provide information or content to us. For example, if you share a picture or video we might log the fact that you shared it.

Access Device and Browser Information. When you access the Outside Life registration portal from a computer we may collect information from that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the pages you visit.

Cookie Information. We use "cookies" (small pieces of data we store for an extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make the portal easier to use and to protect both you and Outside Life. For example, we use them to store your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you to login whenever you come back to the portal. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into the portal. Removing or blocking cookies using the settings in your browser, will impact the portal’s functionality and your ability to use it.

We use the information we collect to provide our services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and features, and to provide you with customer support.

We don’t share your information with advertisers without your consent.

Certain downloadable software applications, such as our SMS system and photo folders, transmit data to us.

We do not own or operate the secured payment gateways or insurance policy providers that you use through the registration portal. Whenever you connect with a payment gateway or purchase optional travel insurance, we will receive information from them, including information about actions you take. In some cases, in order to personalize the process of connecting, we may receive a limited amount of information even before you connect with the application or website.

We do not own or operate the Third Party applications like SheerID, Picasa, Google Voice, AffiniPay, Uplift and PayPal gateway.

Exporting Information. You may use tools like RSS feeds, mobile phone SMS notification, or the Picasa photo library that means that when you use those applications and websites you are making your Outside Life information available to someone other than Outside Life. Prior to allowing them to access any information about you, we limit their use of your information and use technical measures to ensure that they only obtain authorized information. 

 

Protection of Personal Information:

Outside Life takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Outside Life uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. To make payments using the Outside Life portal you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

If you do not want to be seen or contacted by others please make the necessary changes to your profile under the Privacy tab or contact us at info@outsidelife.com.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover a person under the age of 13 has created a profile and registered for a trip we will take the necessary steps to delete the account immediately.
