Privacy Policy
Homeland411 respects subscriber privacy. We do not sell or trade personal data. Unsubscribe at any time.
This policy explains what information Homeland411 (homeland411.com) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information You Give Us
When you email us, subscribe to our briefing, send a news tip, or submit an op-ed, we receive your email address and whatever information you choose to include. We use it only to respond to you, send the briefing you asked for, or consider your submission.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our web server and security software record technical information about visits, such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the time of the request. We use this information to keep the site secure, block malicious traffic, and fix problems. Our site uses the Wordfence security service for this purpose.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Homeland411 sets cookies that are strictly necessary for security and for logged-in site administrators. Our advertising partner, Google, and its third-party vendors also use cookies and similar technologies, such as web beacons, to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.
Advertising
Homeland411 uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. 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 visits to Homeland411 and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, at www.youronlinechoices.eu. If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to you.
To learn how Google uses information from websites that show its ads, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Google’s own privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
Where the law requires it, including for visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before Google and its partners use cookies or personal data for personalized advertising. You can refuse consent and still read Homeland411, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the privacy and cookie settings link shown on the site.
Third-Party Services
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts and advertisements from Google AdSense, which means your browser connects to Google servers and shares your IP address with Google when you visit. Links to our social media accounts and to other websites are governed by those services’ own privacy policies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site, when required by law, or to protect the security of the site and its users. Information collected through advertising cookies is handled by Google and its partners as described in the Advertising section above. We protect the identity of confidential sources.
Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law. Briefing subscribers are removed from the list as soon as they unsubscribe.
Your Choices
You can unsubscribe from the briefing at any time and opt out of personalized advertising as described above. You can also ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, or to correct or delete it, by emailing editor@homeland411.com.
Children
Homeland411 is written for professional adult readers and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our site and services change. The current version is always posted on this page.
