Our Commitment to Privacy

SecondAmendment.net is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains our approach to privacy and data protection for all visitors to our website.

Server Logs

Like most websites, our web server automatically collects limited information in server logs:

  • IP address (for security and abuse prevention)
  • Date and time of visit
  • Pages requested
  • Referring website (if any)
  • Browser type and operating system

This information is:

  • Deleted automatically after the retention period

Cookies

Our website uses minimal, essential cookies only:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser

We do NOT use:

  • Tracking cookies
  • Third-party cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Social media cookies

Third-Party Services

We minimize use of third-party services. Currently:

  • Web Hosting: Our hosting provider may collect basic server logs as described above
  • Content Delivery Network (CDN): May cache static content for performance

These services are selected for their privacy practices and data is not used for tracking or profiling.

External Links

Our site contains links to external websites, including:

  • Supreme Court website
  • Government archives
  • Legal databases

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.

If you contact us via email:

  • We use your email only to respond to your inquiry
  • We do not add you to any mailing lists
  • We do not share your email with third parties
  • We delete correspondence after resolution unless legally required to retain

Children's Privacy

SecondAmendment.net is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The site contains educational material suitable for all ages.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures:

  • HTTPS encryption for all pages
  • Regular security updates
  • Limited access to server logs

Your Rights

Because we collect minimal data, you have the right to:

  • Browse our site anonymously
  • Disable cookies in your browser

California Privacy Rights

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, as we do not collect personal information, sell data, or track users, most CCPA provisions do not apply to our site.

European Union GDPR

For EU visitors, we comply with GDPR requirements:

  • No personal data collection without consent
  • No tracking or profiling
  • Right to access any data (minimal server logs only)
  • Data minimization principles

Do Not Track

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser settings. Since we don't track users regardless, DNT settings don't change your experience on our site.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Significant changes will be noted on our homepage.
