ACKNOWLEDGING RISK, COVERING YOURSELF THROUGH INSURANCE
Participants should understand the normal risks associated with travel of any kind. Canadian participants are also advised to visit the Global Affairs Canada website to view travel advisories for their chosen destination. Provided they act with due diligence, Adventures in Mind group leaders cannot be held responsible for accidental occurrences, though they will do their best to aid anyone who is injured or falls ill. Participants are strongly recommended to purchase travel medical, trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance. They must sign a liability waiver acknowledging these points before embarking on an Adventure.
HEALTH MATTERS
A level of physical and medical fitness is required to get the most out of our Adventures. Some of the sites visited may be accessible only on foot (and not be wheelchair-accessible), and visits may require moderately lengthy periods of walking and standing. Accommodation may be several floors up, with no elevator, and you may have to carry your luggage up and down stairs. If you have any limitations or concerns in this area, please consult Adventures in Mind before applying.
In recognition of the health and comfort of others, all Adventures are scent-free: please do not use perfume or other scented products. All Adventures are subject to enrolment.

Our website address is: https://adventuresinmind.org. Here’s how our site manages your privacy:
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Sharing of Data: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Retention of Data: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Data Rights: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
