Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect a limited amount of information:

• Information you give us — your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, and anything you include when you contact us
• Usage information — pages viewed, links clicked, referring site, device type, browser and approximate location (city/region) derived from your IP address
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files set by us and our partners to remember preferences, measure traffic and support advertising and affiliate tracking

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Send the newsletter and free trial alerts you asked for
• Operate, secure and improve the Site and our guides
• Understand which content and tools are useful to readers
• Attribute affiliate sign-ups and purchases to our links
• Show and measure advertising
• Comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how readers use the Site, such as which pages are viewed, which offers are clicked and how many people sign up for our newsletter. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects device, browser and approximate location information; it does not receive your email address. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we turn off Google signals and ad personalization for your visit.

You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Affiliate partners and advertising

When you click an affiliate link (for example, to Amazon), the partner may set cookies to credit us for a sign-up or purchase. Our ad partners may use cookies or device identifiers to show ads and measure their performance, including ads based on your interests. These partners’ use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your email address. We share information only with:

• Service providers that host and run the Site and our database (such as Cloudflare for hosting and Neon for our Postgres database), email delivery and analytics tools, under contracts that limit their use of the data
• Affiliate and advertising partners, as described above
• Authorities or other parties when required by law or to protect our rights and users

6. Your privacy choices

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link at the bottom of every newsletter. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s WebChoices or by enabling a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor as a request to opt out of sale or sharing.

7. Your state privacy rights

Depending on where you live (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas and other states), you may have the right to:

To exercise these rights, email privacy@usalivetvguide.com. You may use an authorized agent, and you can appeal any decision we make by replying to our response.

• Know what personal information we collect and how we use it
• Access, correct or delete your personal information
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

8. Data retention and security

We keep subscriber information for as long as you stay subscribed and for a short period afterward to honor your unsubscribe request. We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encrypted connections and access controls on our CMS, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or the law change. We will post the new version here and update the “last updated” date. If changes are significant, we will let newsletter subscribers know by email.

11. Contact us

To make a privacy request or ask a question, email privacy@usalivetvguide.com with the subject line “Privacy Request”. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity first.
