Effective Date: 4/22/2026

At Our American Stories, we tell the stories of our country, and we value the trust you place in us when you visit our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the limited information we collect.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. The information we gather generally falls into two categories:

  • Traffic & Usage Data: We use standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to see how many people visit our site, which stories are most popular, and how listeners find us. This data is usually anonymous and includes things like your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.

  • Voluntary Information: If you choose to contact us, sign up for a newsletter, or submit a story, we will collect the information you provide (such as your name and email address) specifically to respond to your request.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use this information strictly to:

  • Improve our website and podcast content.

  • Understand our audience reach (important for our mission as a non-profit).

  • Communicate with you if you’ve reached out to us directly.

3. Cookies

Our website may use “cookies” to enhance your experience and track site traffic. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use our site.

4. Third-Party Sharing

We don’t sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share generic, aggregated demographic information (which is not linked to any personal identity) with our partners or donors to show the impact of our storytelling.

5. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to other websites (such as podcast platforms or social media). We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites, so we encourage you to check their policies if you have concerns.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this placeholder policy as our organization grows. Any changes will be posted on this page.
