Embedded
Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site
may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded
content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has
visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use
cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction

Comments
When visitors leave
comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also
the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An
anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be
provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of
your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of
your comment. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained
indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments
automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that
register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they
provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their
personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username).
Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

No information should be submitted to or posted on HitchUpandGo.com by any minor (a person under 18 years of age) without the consent of a parent or guardian. Our service does not address anyone under the age of 18. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information about minors, regardless of its source, nor is this information knowingly used by HitchUpandGo.com for any purposes. Minors are not eligible to participate in contests. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
