New Zealand Tramper collects certain forms of information about your visit for the purpose of site management, and for the purpose of personalising the site for your convenience. Of the information we learn about you from your visit to "www.tramper.co.nz", we may store the following: the date and time you access our site, terms entered into our search engine, and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked to our site. This information is used to measure the number of visitors to the various sections of our site and to help us make our site more useful to visitors in general, and more convenient for you. No additional information will be collected about you unless you provide it explicitly (for example: by registering, editing your profile, or by contributing content). Your usage of this site may be analyzed by computer software in order to provide you with a better, more convenient user experience of the site. We do not give, share, sell or transfer any personal information to a third party, except where you choose to make that information available.

If the information specialist who answers the mail does not know the answer to your question, your query may be forwarded to another New Zealand Tramper employee more experienced in that area. You should be aware that email is not necessarily secure against interception.
