Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how History Uncovered (thehistoryuncovered.com) handles information when you visit the site or contact us. It should be read together with our Terms of Use.

Information you provide

If you send a message through our contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you submit so that the site team can respond. Contact Form 7 sends the submission to the site administration email address; the form plugin does not store submissions in the WordPress database by default. Your email provider may retain copies of messages.

If comments are available on an article, the information you enter in the comment form may be collected, along with technical details used to help detect spam and protect the site.

Technical and usage information

When you visit the site, the hosting and security systems may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, referring page and visit time. The site also uses a Google tag through Google Site Kit and a WordPress visitor statistics tool to understand site use and help maintain the service. Those tools and Google may use cookies or similar technologies and process usage or device information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Cookies and advertising

WordPress and the site may use cookies or similar storage for essential site functions, security, preferences and measurement. You can manage or remove cookies through your browser settings; some site features may not work as intended if you block essential cookies.

If advertising is enabled on the site, Google and other advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure or personalize ads, subject to your choices and applicable requirements. Google explains its advertising technologies and controls in its advertising privacy information. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the required consent options will be presented where applicable before personalized advertising is served.

How information is used and shared

Information is used to respond to messages, operate and secure the site, understand readership, prevent abuse and meet legal obligations. The site relies on service providers, including its web host and the tools described above, to deliver these functions. They may process information as needed to provide their services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the site and its users.

Retention and your choices

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and manage the related correspondence. Technical and usage records are retained according to the settings of the relevant hosting and service providers. Where applicable under the law in your location, you may ask to access, correct or delete personal information by contacting us through the Contact Us page.

Third-party websites

Articles may link to websites operated by others. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to review.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site or its services change. The latest version and its update date will appear on this page.
