“Suggest a Stop” Form

If you submit a place suggestion through our website form, we collect the information you provide (such as a place name, location, and any notes) so we can consider it for a future post. This information is not published without contacting you first.

Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies to improve your browsing experience. When you first visit the Site, you’ll see a cookie consent banner asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time.

Cookies we may use include:

• Essential cookies – required for basic site functionality.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This is used only for basic site security and performance monitoring.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services (such as email newsletter providers or website hosting) that process data on our behalf. These providers are only permitted to use your information to help us operate the Site and are bound by their own privacy policies.
