Privacy Policy

Last updated:  02/06/2026

At CrimeAndCocktails.net, your privacy matters. This site is about history, crime, cocktails, and the stories in between—not about selling your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

By using this website, you agree to the terms of this policy.

We may collect two types of information:

  1. Personal Information (Only If You Give It to Us)

You may choose to provide personal information, such as:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Any message or details you send through a contact form, email signup, or direct email

We only collect this information when you voluntarily provide it.

  1. Non-Personal Information (Collected Automatically)

Like most websites, we may automatically collect basic data such as:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on the site
  • Referring website
  • General location (city/region, not exact address)

This information is used for analytics and to improve the site’s content and performance.

We may use collected information to:

  • Respond to messages or inquiries
  • Send newsletters or updates (only if you opted in)
  • Improve website content and user experience

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services such as:

  • Email newsletter services
  • Hosting or security providers

These services may collect limited data as needed to perform their functions, but they are not permitted to use your information for their own unrelated purposes.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

  • You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email
  • We only send what you signed up for
  • Your email address is never sold or shared for marketing by others

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best, we can’t guarantee absolute security.
