Share Trail
  1. The upload/share function only works properly in countries where Google services are accessible.
  2. If you upload a trail anonymously to the Hiking Trail HK website, it means that you agree to release the trail under the ODbL.
  3. The uploaded trail can be downloaded by anyone who knows the URL of the trail.
  4. If you make the trail searchable by people, some information of the trail will be added to the index, such that a person does not need to know the URL of the trail in order to find the trail.
  5. The information of the trail is kept in the database and the index, until the share period specified by you ends.
  6. If you specify to extend the share period, and if there are 5 or more views (or downloads for old versions) in the share period, the share period will be extended by the same amount of time. (For example, extended from 1 week to 2 weeks.)
  7. If there are 5 or more views (or downloads for old versions) in the share extension period, the share period will be extended again by the original amount of time. (For example, extended from 2 weeks to 3 weeks.)
  8. After the share period ends, the information of the trail will be removed from the database and the index within 1 day, and will be removed from the backup store within 1 month.
  9. The database, the index and the backup store are hosted in the Google Cloud. The data may be copied to other locations within the Google Cloud for testing and development purpose, if needed.
