Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us, which is why we explain—at length—how we notice you. American Standard News may collect basic technical data such as IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection and to identify our least favorite users.

What we collect

If you contact us, we receive the information you send (email address, message contents). We do not sell personal information.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is processed by Buttondown for subscription confirmation, newsletter delivery, and unsubscribe handling. We use the address only to send the newsletter and related subscription messages. You can unsubscribe using the link in every newsletter email. Privacy questions about the list: [email protected].

Cookies

Theme preference may be stored in localStorage on your device so your chosen color pack and light/dark mode persist. That data stays in your browser. Login cookies from the former WordPress era are retired with this rebuild—though, as the previous policy noted, memories may persist.

Embedded content

Articles may link to or embed third-party content. Those sites may collect data under their own policies. Basically, you’ve got just enough rope to hang yourself with.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics / Google tags (same properties as the prior site) to understand aggregate traffic. This may include standard Google cookies and IP-derived location data under Google’s policies.

Changes

We reserve the right to update this policy. Continued use of the site after changes means you have been adequately warned in the American Standard sense of the word.
