Your privacy is critically important to us

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of this information. Learning who you are and how you rely on RoutingGuides.com helps keep our site fresh, meaningful and adaptive to your specific needs.

RoutingGuides.com will never sell or disclose your name, e-mail or other personal information to any third party, ever.

In that spirit, we'd like to take this opportunity to explain why RoutingGuides.com collects information on our users, and how this implicit data (e.g. a user's IP address, browser version or site behavior) makes it easier and more rewarding for you to use our services. We feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of any information on our site. 

The two kinds of information we collect are 1) data that you provide through optional, voluntary registration, contests and sweepstakes; and 2) data RoutingGuides.com gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by totaling page views throughout the site.
