Legal notice

This notice explains who publishes Ring Plain Journal, where it is hosted, how its travel information should be used and what happens to data when you visit.

Publisher

Publisher: Ring Plain Journal. The guide is researched, written and updated collectively by its editorial team; no article is signed by an individual, and the publication alone is responsible for what appears on these pages.

Hosting

Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Travel information

Articles are general travel information, researched from the public sources listed on each page. Conditions change: tracks close, roads are affected by weather and slips, and operators change their services. Before setting out, and in particular before any walk in the national park, check current information from the Department of Conservation, MetService and the New Zealand Transport Agency. Outdoor activities carry risks that remain the responsibility of those who undertake them.

Independence

No public agency, iwi organisation, venue or business named on this site has commissioned, approved or sponsored it, and it should not be mistaken for an official visitor service. The domain once carried an unrelated earlier website; the background is set out under about this domain.

Intellectual property

Texts, the logo and the design are original works of Ring Plain Journal. Photographs are reproduced under the licences stated on the credits page. Fonts are used under the SIL Open Font License. Names of places, organisations and events are used only to identify them.

Privacy

Reading Ring Plain Journal leaves nothing behind in your browser: there are no cookies, no visitor statistics, no advertising tags and no social-media buttons, and pages, images and fonts all come from this domain rather than from outside services. Like any web host, Cloudflare records basic technical information about each request (IP address, page requested, time, browser) to deliver the site and guard against abuse; that processing is governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

Requests

Requests about the content of this site, corrections, photo credits or this notice are handled by the editors of Ring Plain Journal. A dedicated contact channel is being set up and will be published on this page.
