Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 8, 2026
Editorial information and website access
The operator of American History and Community Guide handles information needed to deliver its history pages and respond to readers. This notice applies to allproudamericans.com and does not describe the records held by a government archive, military service or veterans organisation.
Technical records
Hosting infrastructure may record the internet address making a request, browser characteristics, a timestamp, the requested page and a technical result. Such records help keep the publication available and investigate misuse or delivery failures.
The legitimate interests in operating a reliable and secure editorial website support necessary access logging. Technical records collected for that purpose are not an invitation to introduce unrelated profiling without the required explanation and legal basis.
Correspondence about the guides
When a reader sends a correction, the operator receives an email address and any name, explanation or supporting material included. Legitimate interests in assessing historical accuracy and replying to editorial enquiries support use of that correspondence.
A family story or service record can contain information about people other than the sender. Use public references where possible, and avoid submitting confidential identity details, medical information or benefits documents that are not needed to explain the editorial question.
Cookies and consent choices
Essential technical storage may support site security and administrative sessions. Optional audience measurement, advertising trackers, affiliate tracking and newsletter registration are not enabled; if introduced later, their purposes and any required consent arrangements must be explained before activation.
Browser controls can show, remove or restrict stored cookies, although a restriction may affect a function that relies on essential storage. The operator follows applicable requirements for browser privacy signals and any opt-out mechanism relevant to an enabled feature.
A reader may withdraw consent at any time for an activity based on that consent, using the stated feature controls or the editorial contact address. The Cookie Policy page linked in the footer explains storage choices and the route for raising questions about them.
Infrastructure and linked resources
Hosting, protective and email services may handle information to perform their functions for the publication. Where a provider processes information across borders, the operator must use the safeguards required for that transfer and limit access to the relevant service purpose.
Links to archives, museums and official programmes lead to services outside this publication. External media embeds are not intentionally enabled here; adding one would require an explanation of its provider, information exchange and any necessary consent choices.
Retention and protection
Operational records are retained for their technical or security purpose and applicable obligations. Editorial exchanges may be kept while a correction is assessed, its resolution remains relevant or recordkeeping requirements apply.
When those needs end, personal information should be removed or made non-identifying. Access controls aim to keep a reader’s correspondence out of unrelated hands, but no website or email arrangement can promise complete protection in every circumstance.
Requests about personal information
Applicable law may provide rights to access, correct, delete or receive personal information, to restrict processing or to object to a use. Explain the interaction involved when writing to [email protected]; proportionate verification may be needed before disclosure.
A reader can also complain to the relevant data protection authority or other privacy regulator. The option to raise an issue with this publication does not replace access to that authority.
Children and policy changes
The historical and military material at allproudamericans.com is planned for a general readership rather than children younger than thirteen. The operator does not intentionally collect their personal details, and a parent or guardian can request that a child’s editorial message be deleted by contacting the publication.
If the functions or information practices described here change, the operator will revise this notice and its effective date so readers can identify the update.
