Privacy Policy

The highest mountain recognizes the importance our viewers place on privacy and the security of their personal information. Our goal is to protect your personal information in every way that you interact with our website. We think it is important for you to be informed of the policies, procedures and security measures we have in place to safeguard your personal and confidential information. We have developed this policy to help you understand the steps we take to protect your personal information.

Online Privacy Notice

If you are just browsing through our website, we do not request any personally identifiable information, nor do we collect unique identifying information about you unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us that information such as when you send us an email or add a comment. If you provide us this information, it is only used internally and in furtherance of the purpose for which it was provided. The highest mountain may collect general information from our website with Google analytics, simply to help us provide server usage statistical data.

The information collected for these purposes may include:

• The Internet address (referral site) which brought you to our website
• The date and time you accessed our site
• The name and version of your web browser
• The Internet service provider you used when you accessed our site
• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address

Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are on the Internet. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When collecting information, The highest mountain does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous. The highest mountain may use IP addresses to audit the use of our site. IP addresses can and will be used to IP identify a user when necessary for security purposes.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a very small text file sent by a web server and stored on your hard drive, your computer's memory or in your browser so that it can be read back later. Cookies cannot "read" information about you from your computer or be used to "steal" information about you. Cookies do not carry viruses. Cookies are a basic way for a server to identify you (most cookies actually identify the computer you happen to be using at the time, not you personally). Cookies are used for many things from personalizing start up pages to facilitating online purchases. Cookies help sites recognize return visitors. At this time The Highest Mountain does not use cookies but we may implement that feature in the future. We do use Google Analytics which does use cookies.
