Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

TrekQuill (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website https://trekquill.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://trekquill.com. TrekQuill is owned and operated by Pixel Pulse, based in Pune, India. If you have any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at info@trekquill.com.

Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
  • Analytics: We use tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, device/browser type). This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
  • Contact forms/newsletter: If you contact us or subscribe to updates, we collect your name and email address to respond to you or send you updates you’ve opted into.

Comments

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience on future comments. These cookies last for one year.

We also use cookies for:

  • Site functionality (remembering preferences, login sessions)
  • Analytics (to measure site traffic and usage patterns)
  • Advertising and affiliate tracking (see below)

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly without them.

Affiliate Disclosure & Third-Party Links

TrekQuill participates in affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to Travelpayouts, Awin, FlexOffers, and individual travel brand affiliate programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click on or make a purchase through links on our site, at no extra cost to you.

Our affiliate partners may place cookies on your device to track referrals and conversions. We do not control these third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit through our links.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, widgets). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that website directly — it may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with that content.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the site (hosting, analytics, email)
  • Affiliate networks, solely for tracking referred transactions
  • Legal authorities, if required by law

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. If you register on our site, your profile information is retained until you request deletion. Contact/newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or request removal.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Opt out of marketing communications
  • Object to certain data processing (where applicable under GDPR/CCPA)

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@trekquill.com.

Children’s privacy

TrekQuill is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service. Analytics and affiliate tracking data may be processed by third-party services located outside your country of residence.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
