Privacy Policy for America’s Web Club and Your Ad x Here
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
1. Collection of Personal Information
We collect the following types of personal information when you interact with our website and services:
- Profile Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other custom identifiers required for specific services.
- Payment Information: We process payment details through trusted third-party services such as Stripe, PayPal, and WooCommerce. We do not store your credit card or financial details.
- Visitor Interaction: We reserve the right to collect analytical data (session data and browsing behavior) through a self-hosted analytics solution to improve security and user experience.
Additionally, we employ a “black envelope” method, which ensures that no visitor can continue to browse our site without explicitly consenting to our data collection practices. By doing so, we ensure that all data collection is transparent, voluntary, and controlled by the user.
2. Use of Personal Information
We use your personal data exclusively for:
- Security: Protecting our platform and ensuring that users can access the site safely.
- Analytics: We analyze user behavior to improve the performance of our site and the overall user experience. We do not use personal data for targeted advertising, and we do not engage in predictive or intrusive tracking services.
We do not send marketing emails or messages unless you have explicitly opted into communication (e.g., newsletters). We do not use email marketing platforms on port 25 for unsolicited communication.
3. Sharing Information with Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or lease personal information to third parties. We may share your data with trusted partners for specific tasks like:
-
Licensing: For our audio curators, we use the YouTube API to deliver licensed content. Due to the evolving nature of music publishing, this third-party integration helps us comply with licensing requirements.
-
Self-Hosting: Our analytics, forms, and CMS are hosted on private cloud servers. We do not rely on third-party analytics services or cloud providers for customer data storage, except where necessary for service functionality.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use session cookies exclusively for site functionality and user experience enhancement. Our cookies are designed to ensure a smooth browsing experience and to collect session-related data for analytical purposes. We do not track users across other sites or engage in behavioral advertising.
To guarantee full user consent, we use our “black envelope” method, which requires visitors to actively accept our cookie policy before continuing on our site.
5. Data Retention
We retain data only for as long as necessary for our business operations. For example, session data collected via cookies is only retained for the duration of the session. After a session ends, any identifying information that is not required for ongoing services is deleted from our systems.
All user data is protected and handled according to our strict internal security protocols.
6. User Rights and Data Access
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Request restriction of processing in certain cases.
To exercise these rights, please contact us via the support options on our website. Our team will process your request in compliance with relevant privacy laws.
7. International Data Transfers
Currently, we do not transfer personal data across international borders, as all user data is stored within our private, self-hosted cloud servers. However, we may update this policy if and when international data transfers are required. If such transfers occur, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that data is handled in compliance with relevant data protection laws.
8. Security of Personal Information
We use industry-standard SSL encryption for secure data transmission and two-factor authentication for account security. While we take all necessary measures to protect your data, no online system can be entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information during transmission.
9. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete it.
We recommend that users under the age of 13 do not use our services without parental consent. We make reasonable efforts to avoid attracting or knowingly serving children under 13.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. You will be notified of any significant changes via email or a prominent notice on our website. Continued use of our site constitutes your agreement to the revised policy.
