Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 August 2026

Track Adventures respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Track Adventures website, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have.

1. About Track Adventures

Track Adventures is an independent website providing wooden railway layouts, set information, ideas, guides and related content.

Track Adventures is not owned by, operated by, or affiliated with BRIO, Ravensburger, LEGO or other manufacturers whose products may be featured on the website.

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), Track Adventures is responsible for the personal information described in this policy where we determine how and why that information is processed.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Track Adventures.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This can include:

• IP address;
• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• pages visited;
• referring pages or websites;
• approximate location derived from your IP address;
• date and time of visits;
• interactions with pages and features; and
• cookie or similar technology identifiers.

We may use this information to operate the website, understand how it is being used, identify problems and improve Track Adventures.

Information you provide

Where the website provides features that allow you to submit information, we may collect the information you choose to provide.

Depending on the features available at the time, this could include:

• your name or username;
• email address;
• account information;
• preferences;
• saved or favourite layouts;
• wooden railway sets, track pieces or accessories you tell us you own;
• generated layout preferences;
• feedback, ratings or other contributions;
• messages you send to us; and
• membership or subscription information.

We will only collect this information when the relevant feature is available and you choose to use it.

3. Your Railway Collection

Track Adventures may allow registered users to create a digital collection containing the railway sets, track pieces and accessories they own.

We may use this information to provide personalised features such as:

• identifying layouts you can build;
• recommending layouts based on your collection;
• identifying compatible set combinations;
• generating new layout ideas;
• suggesting useful additions to your collection; and
• improving the accuracy and usefulness of Track Adventures.

We may also analyse collection information in aggregated or anonymised form to understand which sets and combinations are commonly owned and which types of layouts are most useful to our users.

We do not intend to sell personally identifiable information about individual users or their collections to third parties.

4. Layout Generation and Recommendations

Track Adventures may introduce tools that automatically generate or recommend wooden railway layouts based on the sets, components and preferences selected by a user.

Information submitted to these tools may be processed to:

• generate suitable layouts;
• improve layout recommendations;
• understand which combinations are most useful;
• identify popular features and track configurations; and
• improve the Track Adventures layout generation system.

Where appropriate, information used for broader analysis or system improvement will be aggregated or anonymised.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information where necessary to:

• provide and operate Track Adventures;
• maintain and secure the website;
• provide features requested by users;
• manage user accounts;
• remember preferences and collections;
• provide personalised layouts and recommendations;
• understand how the website is used;
• improve our content, tools and services;
• communicate with users who contact us;
• administer memberships or subscriptions;
• prevent misuse, fraud or security issues;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Where required by law, we will identify an appropriate lawful basis for processing personal information, such as consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or our legitimate interests in operating and improving Track Adventures.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Track Adventures may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage and measure performance.

Some cookies may be essential for the website to function. Other cookies, including certain analytics or advertising technologies, will only be used where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining your consent.

Where appropriate, you will be given controls allowing you to manage non-essential cookies.

Further information may be provided in a separate Cookie Policy or cookie settings interface.

7. Affiliate Links

Some pages on Track Adventures may contain affiliate links.

If you follow an affiliate link and make a purchase, Track Adventures may receive a commission from the retailer or other provider. This does not normally increase the price you pay.

Third-party retailers and websites have their own privacy policies. Track Adventures is not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information after you leave our website.

8. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party providers to help operate Track Adventures. These could include providers of:

• website hosting;
• analytics;
• authentication and account management;
• email services;
• payment processing;
• website security;
• database infrastructure; and
• other technical services.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf where necessary to provide their services.

We will seek to use providers that offer appropriate privacy and security protections.

9. Payments

If Track Adventures introduces paid memberships or subscriptions, payments may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

Track Adventures does not intend to directly store complete payment card details.

The payment provider will process payment information in accordance with its own privacy policy and applicable legal requirements.

10. Children’s Privacy

Track Adventures creates content relating to toys and family activities, but the website and any user account, membership or community features are intended to be used and managed by adults unless we expressly state otherwise.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from young children.

Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of Track Adventures and should manage any accounts, submissions or community participation on their behalf where appropriate.

If we introduce features specifically intended for children, we will review the privacy and safeguarding requirements for those features before making them available.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us at info@trackadventure.co.uk.

11. Community Content

If Track Adventures introduces community features, users may be able to submit content such as ratings, comments, photographs, layout ideas or other contributions.

Users should not submit personal information about children or other people without an appropriate reason and permission.

We may moderate or remove submitted content where necessary to protect users, operate the community or enforce our terms.

Additional community guidelines may apply to these features.

12. How Long We Keep Information

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide our services, maintain appropriate business records and comply with legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Where an account deletion feature is available, deleting an account may result in associated personal information being deleted or anonymised, subject to information we are legally entitled or required to retain.

13. How We Protect Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

However, no website, database or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. International Transfers

Some of the service providers we use may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate measures where required by applicable data protection law to protect that information.

15. Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

• request access to your personal information;
• ask us to correct inaccurate information;
• request deletion of your information;
• request restriction of certain processing;
• object to certain uses of your information;
• request transfer of information in certain circumstances;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• complain to a data protection regulator.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions.

If you wish to exercise a privacy right, contact us at:

info@trackadventure.co.uk

You also have the right to raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

16. Anonymous and Aggregated Information

We may create aggregated or anonymised information from website usage, collections, layout selections, generated layouts and other activity.

Where information has been properly anonymised so that individuals cannot reasonably be identified, it is no longer personal information.

We may use this information to analyse trends, improve Track Adventures, develop new features, understand the wooden railway market and support commercial or business decisions.

17. Changes to Track Adventures

Track Adventures is an evolving service.

As we introduce features such as user accounts, saved collections, memberships, layout generation, recommendations or community tools, the ways in which we process information may change.

We will update this Privacy Policy where necessary and will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Where a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice where required.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Track Adventures, our technology, third-party services or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page.
