Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://therealamerica.com.

The Real America is owned and operated by Hawker Works LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience and allow you to avoid re-entering your information when leaving future comments. These cookies typically remain active for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, additional cookies may be used to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies generally remain active for two days, while display preference cookies may remain active for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for up to two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and simply identifies the post you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, social media posts, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, employ additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with their content, particularly if you have an account and are logged into those services.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, subject to any legal, administrative, or security obligations that require us to retain certain information.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our content and user experience.

You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

The Real America may participate in affiliate marketing programs and display advertisements from third-party advertising partners. This means we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links at no additional cost to you.

Advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to deliver relevant advertising and measure campaign performance. These technologies may collect information about your browsing activity across websites.

You can manage cookie settings through your browser preferences and opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out programs such as:

  • National Advertising Initiative (NAI)
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
  • Your Online Choices (for applicable regions)

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through our website. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or website functionality. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
