At The Outdoors Historian, I value your trust as much as I value a clean campsite. This policy outlines how I collect, use, and protect your information when you sign up for my field guides, resource libraries, or newsletters.
I only collect the information you voluntarily provide to me. This typically includes:
Name
Email Address
Optional Preferences (such as interest in specific Great Lakes regions)
I also use standard website "cookies" and tracking pixels (like those from Google or Meta) to understand how visitors interact with my site. This helps me improve my "Deep Map" resources for you.
I use your information to:
Deliver the lead magnets and resources you requested (like the Field-Tested Menu).
Send you my Substack newsletter, The Circle Tour Series.
Update you on new projects, historical research, and services from The Outdoors Historian and Points North Strategy.
Your data is stored in secure, password-protected systems (primarily Tekmatix and Substack).
I do not sell your data. Period.
I do not share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
I only share data with service providers (like email platforms) necessary to run my business and deliver my content to you.
You are in control of your data.
Unsubscribe: You can opt out of my emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any message.
Data Deletion: If you would like me to permanently delete your information from my records, simply email me at [email protected] and I will handle it promptly.
As my research and services evolve, I may update this policy. I will post any changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date at the top.
If you have any questions about how I handle your data, feel free to reach out:
