Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, display settings, or cookie preferences.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use our website. They may record page visits, traffic sources, and general visitor activity.

Advertising Cookies

If advertising is used, these cookies may help display relevant advertisements, limit repeated ads, and measure advertising performance.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain parts of the website work.

An affiliate link is a special link that may allow us to earn a small commission when a visitor makes a purchase. This normally does not increase the price paid by the visitor.

Any new owner will be expected to handle personal information according to this Privacy Policy or provide appropriate notice of any changes.

With Your Permission

We may share information for another purpose when you have clearly asked or permitted us to do so.

8. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Wild Birds USA does not sell personal information for money.

However, some privacy laws may treat the use of certain advertising cookies or the transfer of device information to advertising partners as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of:

  • The sale of personal information
  • The sharing of personal information
  • Targeted or cross-context behavioural advertising


You may exercise these choices through our cookie settings or by contacting us using the information at the end of this policy.

Where required by law, we will also process valid browser-based privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control signals.

9. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The length of time may depend on:

  • The type of information
  • Why we collected it
  • Whether you remain subscribed to our newsletter
  • Legal or accounting requirements
  • Security and fraud-prevention needs
  • Whether the information is needed to resolve a dispute


When information is no longer needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely store it until deletion is possible.

These measures may include:

  • Secure website connections
  • Access controls
  • Security monitoring
  • Spam protection

No website, email system, or online storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk.

11. Third-Party Websites

Wild Birds USA may contain links to websites operated by other organizations, including social media platforms, retailers, bird-care resources, and advertisers.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.

Opening an external link may allow that website to collect information from you. We recommend reading its privacy policy before providing personal information.

13. Embedded Content

Our articles may include embedded content such as:

  • Videos
  • Images
  • Maps
  • Social media posts
  • Audio
  • Interactive tools


Embedded content may behave as though you visited the provider’s website directly.

The provider may collect information, place cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content, especially when you are logged in to an account with that provider.

13. Children’s Privacy

Wild Birds USA provides general bird information, but our website is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13.

We do not knowingly ask children under 13 to provide personal information or subscribe to our newsletter.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us. We will review the request and take reasonable steps to delete the information.

Parents and guardians should supervise children when they use the internet and should not allow them to submit personal information without permission.

14. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a legal privacy right.

15. Rights of United States Residents

Residents of certain US states may have additional privacy rights under their local laws.

Where the relevant law applies to Wild Birds USA, residents may request information about:

  • The categories of personal information collected
  • The sources of that information
  • Why the information was collected or used
  • The categories of third parties receiving the information
  • Specific pieces of personal information held about them


Residents may also have rights to request correction, deletion, portability, or an opt-out from certain advertising or data-sharing activities.

An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may ask for proof that the agent is authorized to act for you.

16. Rights of Visitors Outside the United States

  • We have a legitimate business interest
  • We must meet a legal obligation


Our legitimate interests may include operating the website, improving our content, protecting the website, and understanding how visitors use it.

You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in your country.

17. International Data Transfers

Wild Birds USA is intended primarily for visitors in the United States, but it may be available worldwide.

Our hosting providers and other service providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live.

Where required, we will use reasonable safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

18. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” signal.

There is not one standard method followed by every website for responding to these signals. We may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings unless required by law.

We will recognize legally valid opt-out signals, including Global Privacy Control signals, where applicable.
