This Privacy Policy explains what information Overlander Squad (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit overlandersquad.com, how it is used and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you.
Commenting on articles requires a registered account. If you register or comment, we store your username, email address, the comment and the IP address and browser information recorded at the time. Your comment and username are public.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server and security tools record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. This is used to keep the site running, protect it against abuse and understand how it is used.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use cookies for basic site functions (for example, keeping you logged in), for analytics and for advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work as expected.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read most. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like pages viewed, approximate location and device type. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. For more information, see how Google uses cookies in advertising.
Where required by law, such as for visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalised ads and related cookies are used.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may include embedded content (for example, videos) and links to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website and may collect data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
How long we keep data
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognised. Emails are kept as long as needed to deal with your message. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics retention settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. If you have a registered account or have left comments, you can ask us to export or erase your data. To make a request, email us at the address below.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed.
