americasdna.us
This policy describes how americasdna.us (“this site,” “we,” “us”) handles information when you visit the site or sign up for updates about America’s DNA by Barrett Holt.
Information Collected
This site collects only what you voluntarily provide. If you sign up for email updates, we collect your email address and, if you choose to provide it, your first name. We do not collect payment information, location data, or browsing history.
Standard web server logs may automatically capture your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit as part of routine site operation. This information is used only for diagnosing technical issues and is not linked to any personal profile.
How We Use It
Email addresses are used solely to send updates about America’s DNA, including pre-order availability, publication announcements, and related news. We will not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Data Retention
We retain your email address and name for as long as you are subscribed to our list. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. Upon unsubscribing, your information will be removed from active mailing lists. Server log data is retained for a limited period for technical purposes only.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Email list data is stored and managed through Mailchimp, which maintains its own security practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@americasdna.us and we will respond promptly.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Third-Party Links
This site may contain links to external sites, including social media pages and retailer listings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies separately.
