Privacy Policy for American Facts 101

Overview

American Facts 101 is an educational publishing site focused on American history, civics, and government. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the site, how cookies are used, how advertising and analytics are handled, and what privacy rights may be available to you.

This site is designed to be accessible to general audiences, including students and minors. At launch, American Facts 101 does not provide user accounts, comment systems, or quiz score storage tied to personal information.

Information collected

American Facts 101 does not ask ordinary visitors to create an account, submit a profile, or provide personal details in order to read articles, browse glossary terms, or take quizzes. The site operator does not knowingly collect personal information from children through interactive features because those features are not offered at launch.

Like most websites, limited technical information may still be processed by infrastructure providers when a page loads. This can include IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, approximate region, and basic server log information needed to deliver the site securely and diagnose performance issues.

COPPA statement

American Facts 101 does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The site does not provide child-facing account creation, comment posting, or quiz result storage at launch. If a parent or guardian believes that personal information from a child has been provided to the site in error, they may contact the site operator at contact@americanfacts101.com to request review and deletion.

Advertising and AdSense

American Facts 101 plans to use Google AdSense to display advertising. Ads are intended to run in non-personalized mode only. Non-personalized ads still may use cookies or similar technologies for limited purposes such as frequency capping, fraud prevention, and aggregated reporting, but they are not intended to be tailored to a visitor's behavior across websites in the same way as personalized advertising.

In regions where consent is required, AdSense-related scripts are delayed until the visitor makes a cookie choice. If optional cookies are declined, advertising scripts remain disabled.

Analytics

The site may use Vercel Analytics or a similar privacy-respecting analytics service to understand overall traffic patterns, popular pages, device types, and general performance trends. The analytics approach is intended to be minimal and not to create invasive behavioral profiles of readers.

Cookies and local storage

American Facts 101 uses a cookie consent banner and may use browser storage to remember whether a visitor accepted or declined optional cookies. If advertising or analytics are enabled, those services may also use cookies or similar technologies as described in the Cookie Policy.

GDPR and CCPA rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights related to access, deletion, correction, or limitation of personal information, as well as the right to know what categories of data are processed and which third parties receive that information. Because the site intentionally minimizes personal data collection, many requests may be limited by the amount of information actually available to the site operator. Even so, privacy requests may be submitted to contact@americanfacts101.com.

Third-party services

Third-party services involved in site operation may include Vercel for hosting, Google AdSense for advertising, and a privacy-focused analytics provider if enabled. Those services may process limited technical data to provide hosting, security, measurement, or advertising functionality.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the site evolves, especially if new features such as accounts, comments, or saved quiz results are added in the future. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
