Privacy Policy

Who we are

Echoes of History Uncut is an independent history publication: this website and our channels on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Threads. We are the data controller for this website. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect ourselves

The site has no accounts, sign-up forms, comments or newsletter. Hosting and third-party services receive request data as described below. If you email us, we keep your message only as long as we need it to answer you.

What this site loads, and who receives data

• Cloudflare hosts the site and protects it from attacks. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and browser details with each request, and may set a security cookie. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the site online and safe. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Google AdSense code is included on the site; its presence does not mean ads are approved or served. When ads are served, Google and its partners use cookies to show ads, which can be based on your visits to this and other websites. Google requires a certified consent platform for personalized ads in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. We have not established that the deployed account configuration meets that requirement. Anyone can turn off personalised ads at Google Ad Settings. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• YouTube videos are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube may store data in your browser and receives your IP address when the player loads or plays. See Google's privacy policy.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views and measures page speed so we know which stories people read. It uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device, and it does not identify or track you across sites.
• Fonts and images are served from this site itself; we do not load fonts from Google.

Google and Cloudflare are based in the United States and process data there. They rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses for transfers from Europe.

How long data is kept

Inquiries sent by email contain the information you choose to provide. Hosting and analytics services process visitor request data. Cloudflare and Google keep data for the periods set out in their own policies, linked above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR or California law), you can ask to see, correct or delete personal data about you, object to its use, or withdraw consent at any time. Write to us about data we control; Google and Cloudflare also provide their own request routes. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The site is meant for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data.

Our publishing tools

We use the official YouTube, Meta and TikTok APIs only to publish our own videos to our own accounts, and to read the statistics of our own posts. These tools never collect data about viewers beyond the totals those platforms report to every creator.

Changes
