Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

Google

Google’s advertising requirements can be summed up by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our homepage or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
On our Privacy Policy Page
How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email
Within 1 business day
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:
Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:
Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.

Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

ADVERTISING:

The Made in America Movement will, from time to time, accept limited paid advertising. We adhere to a very strict set of rules before accepting paid advertising.

  • The company must be headquartered in the USA;
  • The products must be Made in the USA;
  • And finally, the company and products must be of interest to our readers. However, the inclusion of such advertising does not necessarily equate to an endorsement or recommendation of that product.

AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS:

The Made in America Movement has carefully selected a number of trusted retailers, manufacturers, and brands, and have developed affiliate relationships with them. This was done with you, the reader, in mind. Affiliate relationships allow us to make it easier to bring you American-made products. These relationships will also allow us to receive a small commission which helps to support our efforts in our mission to create awareness of the importance of purchasing American-made products. When our readers click on affiliate links or banners and make a purchase, the product will cost the same. Affiliate relationships will always be announced and disclosed on our site because sometimes individual links and/or banners may not always be identified as affiliate links. Our recommendations and opinions are never influenced by our affiliate relationships.

GUEST POSTS:

The Made in America Movement happily accepts guest post submissions from select sources. These sources are of interest to our readers. We never pay for guest posts, nor do we accept payment for guest posts. We will show our appreciation by providing relevant links to contributing authors sites.

INTRODUCTORY POSTS:

The Made in America Movement often comes across a “new-to-us” American-made product. When we do, we are anxious to let our readers know. These introductory posts will contain our personal experiences and opinions of the product. We will never accept any compensation for such posts.

PRODUCT GIVEAWAYS:

The Made in America Movement will, from time to time, run giveaways for our members and sponsors and no additional cost to them. We will, however, accept monetary compensation for administering giveaways for non-member American brands. We only give away Made in USA products. The products are always provided to us by the brands. All giveaways are conducted using Sideqik, a third party influencer marketing company.

PRODUCT REVIEWS:

The MAM Team is delighted to review American-made products. Some reviews are based on products and services we’ve used and love. Some products are provided to us for our review. Either way, our reviews will be based on our own personal and honest opinions. We will never accept monetary compensation for product reviews. We will always disclose within the post if the product was provided to us for a review.

SPONSORED POSTS:

The Made in America Movement will, from time to time, accept sponsored posts. These posts will only be accepted from trusted companies headquartered in the USA and making their products in the USA. Sponsored posts will always be identified as such.
