American Way Magazine is operated by americanwaymag.com. This policy explains what happens to information when you read this site or contact us. For privacy questions, email webmaster@americanwaymag.com.
Information used to deliver the site
You can read our articles without an account. We do not offer reader accounts, comments, a newsletter, or a contact form. We do not run advertising or reader analytics on this site.
Our hosting and delivery services process technical information needed to serve pages and protect the site. This can include an IP address, browser details, the requested page, request time, and security-related data.
Cloudflare provides hosting and network delivery. Its handling of data is described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. Our pages also load the AMP runtime and menu component from AMP's script host. Your browser sends technical request information to that host when it loads those files.
We do not use this technical information to build advertising profiles. Our site does not set marketing cookies or use tracking pixels. Hosting providers may use security measures needed to handle requests and prevent abuse.
When you email us
If you write to us, we receive your email address, the name you provide, your message, and any files you attach. We use that information to reply, handle your request, and keep relevant records of the conversation.
Please do not send payment-card details, passwords, identity documents, or other sensitive information that is not needed for your question. We do not ask for those details to answer a general editorial inquiry.
How information is shared
Service providers that host the site, deliver its files, or handle email may process information needed for those services. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or when necessary to address fraud, abuse, or a security issue.
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not publish the contents of private reader emails without permission.
Links to other websites
Articles link to stores, manufacturers, public resources, and other websites. When you follow a link, the destination's own privacy policy applies. That site may use cookies or collect information under its own rules.
We do not receive the payment details you give a retailer. Orders, delivery, returns, and product support are handled by the seller you choose.
Keeping and protecting information
We keep correspondence only for as long as it is reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain relevant records, or meet applicable legal duties. Technical records held by our providers are subject to their service terms and retention practices.
We limit access to information used to operate the site and handle requests. No website or email service can guarantee complete security. Contact us if you believe information sent to this site has been misused.
Your choices and requests
You may ask us about personal information you have provided, request a correction, or ask for deletion. Email webmaster@americanwaymag.com with enough detail for us to find the relevant message or record.
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have further rights to access, erase, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information. We will assess requests under the applicable law. We may need to confirm your identity before releasing information, and some records may need to be kept for a lawful reason.
Our providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Their privacy policies explain their international processing practices.
Children's information
This site is intended for a general adult readership, including parents planning travel. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Editorial identity and AI assistance
Claire Bennett is an editorial pen name used by americanwaymag.com. The author portrait is an illustration. Research, writing, editing, and artwork may use AI assistance.
First-person recommendations express editorial judgments. They do not claim personal ownership or hands-on testing unless the article specifically identifies authentic experience. Customer experiences are attributed to their source and should not be read as the author's own use of a product.
Product artwork labeled as an illustration is not a product photograph. Product designs, prices, availability, and policies can change. Check the seller's current details before making a purchase.
Affiliate links
Product links are not affiliate links at launch. We may add affiliate links in the future and earn a commission on eligible purchases. If we do, we will update this policy and add any needed disclosures near the relevant links.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change. The effective date on this page shows when this version took effect. For questions about this policy, contact webmaster@americanwaymag.com.
