Introduction

Today in American History, together with our affiliated companies, provides content via our Website and email communications. We also operate as a marketing and data company. In this capacity, we collect information that enables advertisers to target specific audience segments through various channels: online advertising, in-app placements, email marketing, telemarketing campaigns, and other promotional channels. Our marketing operations involve the collection, disclosure to third parties, and sale of individual consumer information, and we deliver advertising services that track consumer behavior across different websites and apps to serve targeted ads.

Each version maintains the key compliance elements (data collection, sharing, selling, cross-context behavioral advertising, and multiple advertising channels) while varying the tone and structure.

When you visit Today in American History, we collect personal information from you, and you may also provide information to us. This privacy policy addresses that information and explains our practices for its collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure. Our terms of service contain additional information about our website.
