Effective June 11, 2026.
Pine Forecast is a free, informational outdoor trip-planning website. This policy explains, in plain language, what information is involved when you use the site.
Information you enter
The crowd calculators run in your browser. The choices you make, such as a destination, date, and preferences, are used to produce an estimate on your device. We do not require an account to use the tools.
Email you send us
If you email us, we receive your message and email address so we can read and reply. We use that information only to respond to you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (G-4RSMHTEM5L) to understand which pages are useful and to improve the site. Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, browser type, and referral source. Google may set cookies or use similar technologies in your browser. You can learn more about Google Analytics data practices and opt-out options in Google's privacy policy.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense (ca-pub-3452419773592552) to display ads that help keep Pine Forecast free. AdSense and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites. You can read more in Google's advertising policy and manage ad personalization in your Google account settings.
Amazon affiliate links
Some pages include Amazon Associate product links. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission. Affiliate links do not change our crowd estimates. Amazon's own privacy practices apply when you visit Amazon from our site.
Third-party links
We link to official park, resort, weather, and travel resources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them.
Children
Pine Forecast is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site grows. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page.
