Privacy Policy

Your Information, and How We Use It

AmericasPedia is an independent reference site. We collect only the information needed to run the site and to communicate with readers who ask us to, and we do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

Information you provide directly: if you sign up through the Join the Community form, we collect your name and email address so we can send updates about the Americas. If you contact us through the Contact Us page, we collect whatever information you include in that message, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your inquiry, so we can respond.

Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically log standard technical information such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, used to understand site traffic and improve performance. Our signup form uses Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam, which is subject to Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We do not run advertising on this site and do not sell products directly, so we do not collect payment information. We retain contact form and newsletter information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or for as long as you remain subscribed, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send.

If you have questions about this policy or want us to delete information you have provided, contact us through the Contact Us page. We may update this policy as the site grows, and any changes will be posted on this page.
