Like most websites, The US Mag uses cookies—small data files stored on your device—to improve your browsing experience and analyze site performance.

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand user behavior. These tools may collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, time spent, and navigation paths.

Upon visiting our site, you may be given the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

  • Legal Obligations: If required to comply with laws or legal processes.

5. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Your personal data is stored on secure servers managed in-house or by trusted hosting providers. We use safeguards such as encryption, firewalls, access controls, and routine security audits.

However, no online service is completely secure, and we encourage you to exercise caution when sharing personal information.

We may share your data with:

  • Email service providers to send newsletters (only with your consent).

  • Analytics services that help us monitor website performance.

  • Law enforcement or legal authorities when required by law.

All third parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.
