Privacy Policy Effective June 1, 2022

​

This is the Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) for the Website AmericasHistories.com and the Website BroadcastTheNationalAnthem .com (“AH/BNA”), and describes how AH/BNA (“AH/BNA,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) handles Personal Information (as defined below) that users (“You,” “Your” “or “User”) provide to Us, or that We collect from You through the use of the Website, which is located at www  www   www.  www.americashistories.com and www.broadcastthenationalanthem.com (collectively “Website”). The Website is offered subject to Your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, the Terms of Use) and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Website by AH/BNA (“Agree-ment”).  America's Histories, Inc. is a for profit corporation and contributions to it are NOT tax deductible as charitable donations.

​

1. Website Users. AH/BNA collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each User request. AH/BNA’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to understand better how AH/BNA’s Users use its Website. From time to time, AH/BNA may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, for example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Website.

​

2. Personally-Identifying Information. Personally-Identifying Information (“PII”) means information such as Your first name, middle initial or name, last name, e-mail address, street address, mailing address if different, town or city, state, zip code, telephone number, date of birth, credit card information, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, school, organization, and any other information that would allow someone to identify You or contact You. AH/BNA does not use such PII to identify its Users and does not disclose such PII, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses PII, as described below.
 

PLEASE NOTE: AH/BNA does not monitor, edit, or control public posts by You or any User while using the Website. Any PII You put in a public post will be publicly visible and accessible. AH/BNA advises You to be aware of these possibilities and to be cautious of information, including PII, that You include in a public post.
 

By establishing an account with AH/BNA, You understand and agree that must provide Us with Your email address and that We may use Your email address as needed to provide Your account to You.
 

AH/BNA may collect PII when You choose to interact with AH/BNA in ways that require AH/BNA to gather such information, such as if You register as a Website user, or provide content to the Website through Your computer or smart device. The amount and type of information that AH/BNA gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, AH/BNA collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of Your interaction with the Website. AH/BNA does not disclose PII other than as described below. And You can always refuse to supply PII, with the caveat that doing so may prevent You from engaging in certain Website activities.
 

AH/BNA discloses potential or actual PII only to those of its programmers, contractors, and affiliated organizations that: (a) need to know that PII in order to process it on AH/BNA’s behalf or to provide services available at the Website; and (b) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of Your home country and, therefore, by using AH/BNA’s Website, You consent to the transfer of such PII to them. AH/BNA will not rent or sell potential or actual PII to anyone.
 

Other than to Our employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described herein, AH/BNA discloses potential and actual PII only when required to do so by law, or when AH/BNA believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of AH/BNA, third parties, or the public at large. Unless authorized by You through Your opt-in, or as provided herein, We will make Your PII available to non-affiliated third parties only in the following circumstances:
 

a. If We are compelled to do so by a governmental agency, court, or other entity (for example, to respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process);
 

b. If We believe Your actions violate a law, regulation, this Privacy Policy, the Agreement, or any applicable Website terms of use, or if You threaten the rights, property or safety of Us, Our Website, or any other users or third party; or
 

c. If, in Our sole discretion, We believe disclosure is necessary to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, to protect Our assets, to defend Our interests or comply with Our legal and regulatory obligations.
 

If You are a registered User of the Website and have supplied Your email address, then AH/BNA may occasionally send You an email to tell You about new features, solicit Your feedback, or just keep You up to date with what is going on with the Website, AH/BNA, and Our products. We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If You send Us a request (for example, by a support email, or by one of Our feedback mechanisms), then We reserve the right to publish it in order to help Us clarify or respond to Your request or to help Us support other users. AH/BNA takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potential or actual PII.

​

3. Children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children or knowingly allow children to purchase goods or memberships through Our Website. Visitors less than 13 years of age must obtain an adult’s permission before submitting any PII to this Website or any other website. In the event that We learn that We have received any PII from a User less than 13 years of age, and We do not receive parent or legal guardian permission within a reasonable period of time of Our request for it, then We will delete that information as quickly as possible. If You believe that We might have information from or about a child less than 13 years of age, please contact Us at the provided contact email address.

​

4. Non-PII Aggregate Information. We may use non-identifying and aggregate information to design and operate better Our Website and provide services to You.

​

a. Log Files. As is true of most websites, We may gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring pages, exit pages, operating system, date and time stamp, and click-stream data. We may use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Website, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about Our user base as a whole.

​

b. Cookies. As is also true of most websites, We may use cookies. A cookie is a small text file or string of information that a website stores on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the User returns. We may use cookies to help Us identify and track users, their usage of the Website, and their Website access preferences. We do not link the information We store in cookies to any PII You submit while on the Website.

​

We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We may use session cookies to make it easier for You to navigate the Website. A session ID cookie expires when You close Your browser. A persistent cookie remains on Your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in Your browser’s ‘Help’ file.

Users who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Website. If You reject cookies, then You may still use the Website, but Your ability to use some areas of the Website may be limited and certain features of the Website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

5. Links and Third Parties. There may be opportunities through the Website from time to time to opt-in to receive information from third parties. If You opt-in, then You may receive correspondence from these third parties on programs, products or services that might interest You. Your communication with these third parties should be directly with such third parties.

6. Privacy Policy Changes. Although most changes are likely to be minor, AH/BNA may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in AH/BNA’s sole discretion. We will post an updated and revised version of this Privacy Policy on the Website when any material changes have been made. AH/BNA encourages users to check this Privacy Policy often so You are aware of the most current terms and conditions that apply to You. Your continued use of the Website after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute Your acceptance of such change.
