Email Newsletters

If you subscribe to one of our email newsletters, we collect your email address and any other information you choose to provide, and we use it to send you the newsletters you requested along with related updates, content, and offers from us and our sponsors. We use a third-party email service provider to store our subscriber lists and deliver our emails; that provider processes your information on our behalf and under our instructions. Our emails may contain web beacons that tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked, which helps us understand what content readers find useful. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send, or by contacting us at [email protected].

Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content

Some articles on the Website contain links to products or services offered by our sponsors and affiliate partners. If you click one of these links, or take an action on the partner’s website such as signing up for an account or making a purchase, we may receive compensation. Sponsored and affiliate links may include tracking parameters, and partners may set cookies, that allow the partner to attribute your visit or action to the Website. Any information you provide to a partner on its own website is governed by that partner’s privacy policy, not this one. Sponsored content and affiliate links are identified on the Website in accordance with applicable law.

Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

We may disclose personally identifiable information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business, such as website hosting, email delivery, analytics, and security providers.
  • To our advertising partners, which collect and use certain data to place and measure advertising on the Website (see Advertising Privacy Statement below). Under California law and the laws of certain other states, this disclosure may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, which you can opt out of as described in Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of History Computer's assets.
  • To third parties to market their products or services to you if you have consented to or not opted out of these disclosures.

  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
  • With your consent.

We may also disclose your personal information:

  • To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • To enforce or apply our Terms of Service.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of History Computer, our customers, or others.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI“) on the NAI’s website at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and from participants in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA“) at https://optout.aboutads.info/.

Opting out of targeted advertising and the sale or sharing of your personal information. You can opt out of the use of your personal information for cross-context behavioral (targeted) advertising on the Website at any time by using the privacy settings or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link available on the Website, or by emailing us at [email protected]. Your opt-out applies to the browser and device you are using when you make it, so you may need to repeat it on other browsers or devices, or if you clear your cookies.

Global Privacy Control. We honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC“) signal. If your browser or a browser extension sends a GPC signal, our consent management tool treats it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising for the browser sending the signal. GPC is different from the older “Do Not Track” (“DNT“) browser setting. Because there is no accepted industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not respond to DNT signals; we do respond to GPC signals as described above.

Residents of California and other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see Your State Privacy Rights for more information.
