How we collect, use, and protect your information
Whitebeavers ("we", "our") operates whitebeavers.com, an independent editorial portal on American history and historical travel. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the rights you have under the GDPR (EU/UK), the CCPA/CPRA (California), and the LGPD (Brazil).
When you contact us through the contact form or by email, we receive the name, email address, and message content you submit. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, editorial tip, or correction request.
Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect standard log data: IP address, approximate location (city/country), browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages visited, time on page, and interaction events. This data is used for analytics, site security, and to serve advertising as described below.
Whitebeavers is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager to serve ads on this site. Google and its ad-technology partners (including certified third-party vendors participating in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework) may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Learn more in Google's Advertising Policies and Google's Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at adssettings.google.com, and opt out of third-party vendors' personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices (US), youronlinechoices.eu (EU), or optout.networkadvertising.org (NAI).
We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools (such as Google Analytics with IP anonymization) to understand how the site is used. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we and our advertising partners rely on your consent (or, where applicable, our legitimate interests) to set non-essential cookies and to process personal data for personalized advertising and analytics. You can accept or decline through the cookie banner shown on your first visit, and change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser to reopen the banner.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing (including for direct marketing). California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — Whitebeavers does not sell personal information for money, but sharing data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing" under California law; declining cookies through our banner opts you out. To exercise any right, email contact@whitebeavers.com.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share limited data with service providers that host the site, deliver analytics, and serve advertising (as listed above), and with authorities when required by law.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information we hold. Contact-form messages are kept only for as long as needed to respond and comply with legal obligations. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the retention settings of the respective providers.
Whitebeavers is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a new "Last updated" date.
