Privacy Policy.

Defeat History collects only what we need to run the site, deliver downloads, process orders, and improve useful preparedness content — not to creep on people.

Plain English: if you give us your email, buy a product, or contact us, we use that information to do the thing you asked for. We do not sell your personal information.

Information we may collect

  • Email and signup information: when you request a free guide, join an email list, or ask to hear from us.
  • Order information: when you buy a digital product, our commerce providers may process your name, email, billing details, order history, and payment status.
  • Messages: if you contact Defeat History, we may keep your message so we can respond and maintain records.
  • Technical data: the site or its providers may collect IP address, browser/device information, cookies, pages visited, referral URLs, and similar analytics/security information.

How we use information

  • Deliver free and paid digital downloads, receipts, and customer support.
  • Process payments, prevent fraud, and maintain purchase records.
  • Send emails you requested, including guide delivery, updates, product information, and unsubscribeable marketing.
  • Improve site content, troubleshoot issues, and protect the site from abuse.
  • Meet legal, tax, accounting, and platform obligations.

Payments and third-party services

Payments and checkout may be handled by services such as SureCart and Stripe. Defeat History does not store full payment card numbers on this site. Those providers process payment information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Email and lead handling

When you request a guide or join the list, your email may be handled through email, automation, form, database, or delivery tools used by Defeat History. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails when an unsubscribe link is provided, or contact us through the Contact page.

Cookies and tracking

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for checkout, carts, security, spam prevention, analytics, affiliate tracking, and basic site functionality. You can adjust browser cookie settings, but some checkout or account features may not work correctly without them.

Sharing information

We may share information with service providers that help operate the site, deliver email, process payments, host content, detect fraud, run analytics, or provide customer support. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or during a business transfer.

Your choices

  • You can unsubscribe from marketing emails.
  • You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to legal, tax, fraud-prevention, and business-record obligations.
  • You can disable cookies in your browser, understanding that checkout and account features may be affected.

Children

Defeat History is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Data security

We use reasonable safeguards and reputable service providers, but no website, email system, or internet transmission is perfectly secure. Use strong passwords and avoid sending sensitive information through ordinary contact forms.
