Privacy

Collect less. Explain it plainly.

Nova Scotia Campgrounds uses limited operational data to understand whether the directory works and to process messages people intentionally submit.

Anonymous usage events

We record a small set of actions such as a search being applied, a map marker being selected, a campground profile being viewed, or an outbound campground link being opened. Events include the page path, broad filter values, result counts, campground identifiers, and the referring website's hostname. They never include the words typed into search, a referring page's path or query, your form message, name, email address, raw IP address, or browser user-agent.

Sessions and visitor counts

Your browser creates a random session identifier that expires after about 30 minutes without activity and a separate random visitor identifier that rotates after 30 days. They are stored in your browser, are not based on your identity, IP address, or device fingerprint, and are used only to count approximate visitors and understand aggregate paths such as map to profile to campground website.

Feedback submissions

When you send the contact form, we store the fields you choose to provide, a request identifier, and the submission time. A reply email is optional. Cloudflare Turnstile validates the request to prevent automated abuse without adding a raw IP address or browser user-agent to the feedback record.

Retention

Feedback submissions may be kept for up to 12 months so we can verify corrections, prevent duplicate or abusive requests, and follow up. Raw interaction events are retained for up to 90 days; aggregated counts may be kept longer because they are not intended to identify a person. Cloudflare may retain platform security and request logs according to the account settings in effect at the time.

Service providers

The site, form endpoint, bot protection, and monitoring run on Cloudflare. Opening a campground, booking, map, email, phone, or primary-source link takes you to another provider with its own privacy practices.

Your choices

You can use the directory without submitting the form. Do not include sensitive personal information. To request access to or deletion of a feedback submission, use the form and include its request identifier if you have it.
