Privacy Policy
How The American Dispatch handles newsletter addresses, contact requests, site preferences, and information associated with visiting the website.
Last updated: October 16, 2026
Information we receive
When you sign up for our email editions, we collect the email address you submit and the information needed to manage your subscription, send requested messages, and process unsubscribes. When you use a contact or corrections form, we receive the information you choose to send, including your contact details, topic, and message.
The site also uses browser preferences, such as appearance and locally recorded subscription status. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process basic technical information about visits and requests, such as network information, timestamps, and error data, to deliver and protect the service.
How information is used
We use subscription information to deliver requested news emails and manage opt-outs. Reader inquiries are used to respond, review corrections, and address editorial or partnership requests. Technical information helps operate, secure, and maintain the website.
We do not describe commercial advertising content as independently reported news. Advertisements or partnerships are labeled separately.
Service providers and external content
Our publishing operation uses hosting, database, and email service providers, including Netlify, Supabase, and Resend. Their processing is subject to applicable contractual terms and privacy practices. Embedded content or links from publishers and services such as YouTube may load content directly from those providers, which may have separate privacy policies.
Storage, retention, and security
We retain information as needed to provide subscriptions, handle inquiries, meet legal obligations, and support reasonable operational records. Retention periods vary by data type and applicable requirements. No internet service can guarantee absolute security; we use available service safeguards and limit administrative access.
Your choices
Every news email includes an unsubscribe option. You may also manage your subscription through the reader settings page. You can change or clear site preferences through your browser. Use our contact page to ask questions about information you submitted or request its review, subject to applicable law.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when the site or legal requirements change. Material changes are reflected in the date shown above.
