Last updated: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Rivet & Rail ("Rivet & Rail," "we," "us," or "our"), available at https://www.rivetrail.com (the "Site"), collects, uses, and discloses information about visitors, and the choices available to you. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Log and usage data. Like most websites, our web server and hosting platform (Blogger, operated by Google) automatically collect certain information sent by your browser, such as your IP address, browser type and version, referring pages, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

Comments. If you leave a comment on a post, the comment and any information you choose to include with it (such as your name or Google account profile) may be publicly displayed.

Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We, and the third parties described below, use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to operate the Site, remember preferences, and serve and measure advertising.

Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more information on how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks other than Google may also use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens and may be used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the content that you see. Rivet & Rail has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools, such as Blogger's built-in statistics and, where enabled, Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages viewed, time on page, and general geographic location. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Your Consent and Choices (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Google's consent management tools may present you with a message asking for your consent before cookies or other local storage are used and before personal data is collected, shared, or used for ad personalization, as required by Google's EU User Consent Policy. You can change your consent choices at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Site, or through your browser settings.

Most browsers also allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that if you disable cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly, and you may still see non-personalized advertising.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable law (such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation or the California Consumer Privacy Act) to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
