Privacy Policy

The San Juan Island Trails Committee (SJITC), a sub-committee of the San Juan Island Park and Recreation District, respects your privacy and is committed to handling any personal information you provide through this website in a responsible and secure manner. SJITC makes every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information, in compliance with the laws governing public entities in the State of Washington.

Browsing Our Website
You can browse sjitrails.org, subject to our Terms of Service, without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. The only information we may collect during a standard website visit (i.e., one that does not involve submitting a form) includes your IP address, the pages you view, and the date and time you view them. We use this information to assess site activity and improve the usefulness of the website.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Certain features of the website—such as comment sections or event registrations—require visitors to provide personal information. This use is entirely voluntary. During registration, you may be asked to provide contact details such as your name, email address, and ZIP code. This information helps us verify your identity and respond appropriately.

When you request specific information, services, or participation (e.g., in a trail work party or event), we may collect additional contact information (name, mailing address, email address) and, if applicable, payment or billing information.

SJITC may collect email addresses and other personally identifiable information that is voluntarily submitted. For example, if you sign up for a trail work party, event, or mailing list, we will use your email only for that purpose. You will only receive unrelated emails if you have specifically opted into a mailing list.

Mailing addresses may be used to inform you of opportunities or updates related to SJITC that we believe may be of interest.

Financial Information
Any financial data collected (such as for online orders or donations) is used solely to process payments. Please note that while SJITC takes steps to protect data, we cannot guarantee protection against unauthorized access by malicious actors or misuse of stolen data.
