This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Mountains Out Media on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use our website, and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

1. Information Collection and Use

We collect personal information directly from you when you interact with our website, primarily when you voluntarily complete and submit our basic interest contact form. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any details you provide in the message field. We also automatically collect technical usage data when you visit our website.

2. Spam Protection and Security Services

To ensure the security of our website and protect against automated abuse, Mountains Out Media utilizes third-party verification and spam prevention services on our contact forms.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to verify whether data entered into our contact form has been submitted by a human or by an automated program. Google reCAPTCHA analyzes visitor behavior based on various characteristics, such as IP address, duration of the visit, or mouse movements. This analysis happens automatically in the background as soon as you interact with the form, and the collected data is forwarded to Google.

This data processing is based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding our website infrastructure from abusive automated crawling, data harvesting, and spam.

Akismet Anti-Spam

We use the Akismet anti-spam service to filter out malicious form submissions. The information collected for this purpose typically includes the sender’s IP address, user agent, referrer, website URL, and the information directly provided by the user in the form fields (such as name, email address, and message content).

This data is processed strictly for detecting, blocking, and preventing form submission spam on our platform.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to monitor activity on our website and hold certain analytical data. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, though some parts of the site may function differently as a result.

4. Use of Your Personal Data

Mountains Out Media uses the collected personal data for the following purposes:

• To review, process, and respond to your inquiries submitted through our basic interest contact form.
• To provide, maintain, and monitor the performance and usage of our website.
• To contact you with administrative updates or informative communications directly related to your inquiry.
• To protect our platform against fraud, security threats, and technical exploits.

5. Retention and Transfer of Data

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the communication or business purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements.

Your information, including personal data, may be processed and stored on servers located outside of your state, province, or country, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our website, you consent to this operational transfer under the laws governing the State of Washington and the United States.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the revised document on this page and updating the last updated date at the top of this page.
