Privacy Policy

Like all commercial websites, Think Americana needs to know who its audience is for advertising and administrative purposes. At the same time, we understand that our users value their privacy. This policy is designed to balance your right to be left alone with our desire for certain basic data about your computer system.

LOG FILES
If you don’t register, the information we collect will be limited to your general Internet settings or “log file.” Log files typically include your operating system, your ISP and IP address, the type of browser you’re using, the resolution of your monitor, and the pages on our site that you clicked through while visiting.

COMMENTS AND E-MAILS
Think Americana will not record your e-mail address unless (a) you register to post comments on our site, or (b) you send us e-mail.

If you register to post comments, you must provide us with a valid e-mail address. We won’t share it with anyone (except our contractors and under certain extraordinary circumstances described below), but we will cancel your registration and block you from re-registering with that address if you violate our terms of use.

If you send us e-mail, your e-mail address will usually be displayed at the top of your message. Think Americana retains most of the messages it receives, so your address likely will remain on record in our e-mail archives. These archives are stored on servers owned and operated by third parties such as Google Inc.

Bulk Email Communications and Partner Emails:

Think Americana sends various types of email communications to our subscribers, including our registered users and individuals who have separately signed up for our newsletters. These emails serve different purposes:

Daily Updates: We send daily email newsletters containing our latest articles, news, and updates. These emails may also include advertising content relevant to our readers' interests.

Dedicated Product/Service Sends: Occasionally, we may send dedicated emails on behalf of our trusted partners. These partner emails can contain promotional content or information related to their products and services.

We value your privacy, and your email address will not be shared with our product and service partners for these purposes unless you explicitly consent or as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

COOKIES
Think Americana may use cookies to record your log file and, if you’ve registered to comment, to remember your Think Americana login and password for you. We may also grant permission to our advertisers to use cookies in their ads. Cookies are small text files placed automatically on your hard drive by your web browser when you visit certain websites in order to make those sites easier to use.

Cookies & 3rd Party Advertisements

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our website or open our emails. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information.

In addition, we may disclose information about your individual log file or, if you’ve registered to comment, your e-mail address in the following two extraordinary circumstances: (a) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so by law, or to comply with a court order or judicial proceeding; or (b) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to defend the legal rights and interests of Think Americana, or its individual contributors; or (c) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect the site’s infrastructure (for example, to investigate denial of service attacks.
