Last updated: February 2026

1. Purpose of Hippie Trails

Hippie Trails exists to uplift relationships between travelers and local community guardians. By creating an account you agree to share respectful, non-commercial information that sustains people and ecosystems.

2. Use of the Platform

Provide accurate information and use the platform for lawful, respectful purposes only. Harmful, discriminatory, exploitative, or misleading content is not allowed. Hippie Trails may moderate or remove submissions and suspend accounts that threaten our mission.

3. Content You Submit

You are responsible for the accuracy and tone of pins, reviews, and messages. You retain ownership of your content but grant Hippie Trails permission to display it on the platform. You may request removal at any time.

5. Messaging & Conversations

Members can send direct messages to each other to coordinate travel and community care. These conversations are stored in plain text on HippieTrails servers so they stay synced across devices and can be restored if you lose access.

Only a very small group of authorized technical personnel may review message content, and only when required for moderation, safety, security, or abuse investigations requested by the community. Messages are never sold, profiled for marketing, or opened without a clear, lawful purpose.

We use your data solely to provide core platform features, maintain your account and contributions, and improve reliability and user experience. We do not sell personal data, use it for advertising, or share it beyond essential service providers or legal requirements.

Basic cookies and local storage keep you logged in and remember simple preferences.

8. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and data at any time by contacting the HippieTrails team via the About page.
