CanHike is committed to treating member information with care, transparency, and respect. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used within the community.
We may collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, emergency contact information, profile details, and any content you voluntarily submit through articles, forms, or account features.
Your information is used to operate the CanHike website, support member onboarding, deliver account-related emails such as verification and welcome messages, and maintain a trusted community experience.
Where you provide consent, CanHike may use photos, videos, or audio captured during community activities in connection with community communication and promotion. Consent preferences submitted during registration are taken into account.
CanHike does not sell member information. Information may be shared only where necessary for operating the website, sending account-related communications, meeting legal obligations, or supporting safe community administration.
We aim to store member information responsibly and limit access to what is necessary for operating the community. Information may be retained for as long as required to support account administration, community operations, or legal obligations.
You may request updates to your account information, ask questions about how your information is used, or request account removal through the account features available on the site or by contacting the CanHike team.
