Data Privacy
This page describes what data Authority Network America collects, how it is used, and what it does not do. The short version: ANA is a static reference network that does not track individual users, does not sell data, and does not use advertising or behavioral cookies.
What ANA Collects
ANA sites are served through Cloudflare. As part of normal web hosting, the following data is collected automatically:
- Server logs. Standard HTTP request logs including IP address, page requested, browser type, referring URL, and timestamp. These are used for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis. They are not linked to individual identities.
- Cloudflare analytics. Cloudflare provides aggregate traffic data (page views, unique visitors, geographic distribution) at the zone level. ANA uses this data to understand which content is being used. Cloudflare’s privacy practices are governed by Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
What ANA Does Not Collect
- ANA does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
- ANA does not use Google Analytics or any third-party behavioral analytics platform.
- ANA does not collect personal information through its research pages.
- ANA does not build user profiles or track browsing behavior across sessions.
- ANA does not sell, rent, or share visitor data with any third party.
Contact Form and Email
If you use the correction form on the contact page or email ANA directly, the information you provide (your message, name, and email address if included) is used only to respond to your inquiry or process the correction. It is not added to any mailing list, marketing database, or third-party system.
Future Monetization and Data
When ANA’s planned revenue models launch (event-based lead routing and a verified provider registry), any data collected through those services will be disclosed in an updated version of this policy before those services go live. The current research pages do not collect any user data beyond standard server logs.
Cookies
ANA sites may set minimal technical cookies required for Cloudflare’s CDN and security services to function (such as the __cflb load-balancing cookie). These are not used for tracking or advertising. ANA does not set any first-party cookies.
Your Rights
If you believe ANA holds any personal data about you and would like it reviewed or deleted, contact [email protected]. Because ANA does not collect personal data through its research pages, there is typically nothing to delete, but the request will be taken seriously and responded to.
Children
ANA does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The network publishes reference content and does not require accounts, logins, or any form of registration.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes — particularly if ANA begins collecting data through future services — the updated policy will be published at this URL with a revised date. Material changes will be noted at the top of the page.
