AmeriPulse24 (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website ameripulse24.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to this policy.
- Information we collect
Information you give us: If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include in your message, such as your name and your question, tip, or correction.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the website that referred you to us. This is standard log information and it does not, by itself, identify you personally.
We do not ask you to create an account to read our articles, and we do not collect passwords, bank details, or other sensitive personal information through this website.
- Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help a website remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site.
We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to remember basic settings, and to measure traffic so we can see which stories readers find useful. You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can block cookies or delete them, although some parts of the site may work less smoothly if you do.
- Advertising and Google AdSense
We may show advertisements on this website, including ads served by Google AdSense.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
We do not control the cookies set by advertisers, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party advertiser if you want more detail.
- Third-party services
We may use third-party services to help us run the site, including web analytics to understand traffic, and hosting services to keep the site online. Those services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies, and they process it only to provide their service to us.
We may also link to other websites, such as news sources, official statements, and social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.
- How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the website, to publish and update news stories, to respond to emails from readers, to correct errors, to measure how readers use the site, and to show advertisements that help support our work. We do not sell your personal information.
- Data retention and security
We keep emails from readers only for as long as needed to respond and to keep a record of corrections and tips. Log and analytics data is kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised. We take reasonable steps to protect information we hold, but no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
- Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
- Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, or to opt out of personalised advertising as described above. To make a request, email us at contact@ameripulse24.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.
If you are in California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion. We do not sell personal information.
- Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add a new service or change how we show ads. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Please check this page occasionally for changes.
