Privacy Policy

Who We Are

This Web site, “The American Revolution Tour of North Carolina™” (“AmRevNC.com”) is found at “https://amrevnc.com.” It is owned by AmRevNC, LLC, based in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

The Short Version

  • The only information we get that identifies you personally is what you provide if you use our Contact Form or buy from our Shop. We retain that to refer back to when providing customer service and for our own marketing to you, but we never share that with anyone else unless legally required to.
  • We do not get your credit card number or other payment information, though our vendors do (see the “Shop” section below).
  • We get and share with advertisers aggregated, anonymous data, like the number of clicks on their ads and the regions people clicked from. This does not include any personally identifiable information like IP addresses.
  • We prioritize high-privacy third-party providers. They may collect and retain other information, so check their privacy information (linked from “Providers” below) if you have concerns.
  • We are happy to send you the little bit of data we have on you, if any, and to delete it.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Contact

When visitors use our Contact Us page, we collect the data shown in the contact form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us block spam.

Shop

Our Shop vendors also share your name, address and e-mail address with us (not your phone number) if you buy something, and what you buy. We only store that information in those e-mails from them, but we can access that information through our vendors. If you create an account, we have access to any information you provide.

Here are links to the privacy policies of our Shop providers:

Financial Information

We know how much you spent, but do not get or have access to your payment information, such as credit card numbers, even if you choose to store it.

Cookies

If you leave a contact message on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and other information in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you make another contact. You can delete them from your browser anytime.

Koko Analytics, our statistics provider, places a cookie that only allows it to know when you return to the website. Their service complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

How We Use Your Information

Future Marketing

Although we have no plans for e-mail marketing at this time, AmRevNC may add your e-mail address to contact lists for that purpose in the future. If so, you will be able to opt-out permanently with a few clicks. We will never share or sell those lists. See also “Our Data Breach Procedures” below.

We will never conduct paper mail or telephone campaigns.

Automated Decision-making and Profiling with User Data

None. Aggregated, anonymous data (only) are used to make manual decisions about page content, security, and marketing, etc.

Who We Share Your Data With

No one, unless a court requires us to. AmRevNC does not sell or share personally identifiable data. We only provide aggregated, anonymous data to advertisers as part of our marketing.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor contacts may be checked through automated spam or robot detection services.

Connections to Other Web Sites

Pages on this site include embedded content, specifically maps provided by OpenStreetMap, and links to a wide range of other Web sites. Embedded content from other Web sites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other Web site, and links to external sites work the same way as they would from any other source, including search engines.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that Web site. We have no control over these actions.

Other Providers

We place a high priority on privacy protection when selecting our service providers, though they in turn may use vendors that collect personalized data. Please see our providers’ privacy policies for more information:

  • Cloudflare
  • Heator (social media share buttons)
  • WooCommerce Shipping & Tax (provided further down)

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you contact or buy something from us, the generated e-mail and related metadata (see above) are retained indefinitely. This is for legal purposes and to maintain continuity of service if you contact us again in the future.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you through our Contact form, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. We will do so immediately, confirm by e-mail, and then delete your e-mail address. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for legal or security purposes.

Data Protection

How We Protect Your Data

In addition to the security provided by Cloudflare, we use the Shield Pro plugin for WordPress, which provides a wide range of security protections.

Our Data Breach Procedures

Within one hour of learning our contact e-mail addresses have been hacked or third-party user accounts have been breached, we will:

  1. Request any affected provider to force password changes on all related accounts.
  2. Notify users which data have been compromised.
  3. Begin an investigation with our security providers (see previous section) to determine if we did anything that allowed the breach.

When the Step 3 investigation is complete, we will:

  1. Take all steps recommended by our security providers to prevent a recurrence.
  2. Report the results to all users.
