Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 5, 2026

World Numismatic News (“WNN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes numismatic news, collector education, variety references, error coin guides, glossary entries, and collector resources.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit worldnumismaticnews.com, subscribe to the newsletter, submit a correction or news tip, use a form, click an affiliate or advertising link, or interact with embedded content.

This policy is provided for transparency and should not be treated as legal advice.

Who We Are

World Numismatic News is a collector-focused numismatic publication and reference website.

Website: https://www.worldnumismaticnews.com
Contact: support@worldnumismaticnews.com

Information We Collect

WNN does not offer public reader accounts and does not use native WordPress comments as a public community system.

We may collect or receive the following information:

  • Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, website, message, correction, news tip, coin variety report, error coin report, or other submission.
  • Newsletter signup information, such as your email address and subscription preferences.
  • Technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, timestamps, and interaction data.
  • Analytics and advertising information collected through cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar technologies.
  • Affiliate-link interaction data, where a retailer, marketplace, or affiliate network records that you clicked from WNN.
  • Embedded media interaction data, such as YouTube video playback information or other third-party embed activity.

Reader Submissions And Forms

If you submit a contact message, correction, news tip, page update suggestion, coin variety report, or error coin report, the information you provide may be stored as a private admin-only submission inside WordPress and may also be emailed to WNN.

These submissions are used to review, verify, respond to, improve, or develop editorial content. They are not public comments and are not automatically published.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through WNN forms.

Newsletter

WNN uses Beehiiv or another newsletter provider to manage newsletter subscriptions, email delivery, unsubscribe requests, and newsletter analytics.

If you subscribe, the newsletter provider may process your email address, signup source, IP address, device/browser information, subscription status, and engagement information such as opens and clicks. You can unsubscribe using the link provided in newsletter emails.

Newsletter messages may include news, collector updates, reference guides, site announcements, affiliate links, advertising, or sponsored content where clearly disclosed.

Cookies And Similar Technologies

WNN and third-party services may use cookies, pixels, scripts, tags, local storage, or similar technologies for:

  • Essential website functionality
  • Security and spam prevention
  • Analytics and performance measurement
  • Advertising and ad delivery
  • Affiliate attribution
  • Newsletter signup forms
  • Embedded media such as YouTube videos

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as intended if cookies or scripts are blocked.

Analytics

WNN may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors use the site, which pages are useful, and where improvements are needed.

Analytics providers may collect technical and usage information, including pages visited, approximate location, browser/device details, referring sources, and interactions with the site.

Advertising

WNN may display ads through Google AdSense or other advertising partners.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to WNN or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to WNN and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings:

Affiliate Links

WNN may use affiliate links, including links from Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network, or other affiliate programs.

If you click an affiliate link or make a qualifying purchase, WNN may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies or tracking links to record referrals, purchases, or other qualifying actions.

Affiliate links do not control WNN’s editorial conclusions, but they may support the site financially.

Embedded Content

Articles and reference pages may include embedded content from third-party websites, including YouTube videos, social media posts, images, product listings, or other media.

Embedded content may behave as if you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect data, use cookies, track interactions, or apply their own privacy policies.

Where practical, WNN may use privacy-enhanced embed options, but third-party services may still process information according to their own policies.

Third-Party Services

WNN may use service providers and third-party platforms for hosting, WordPress administration, newsletter delivery, analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, spam prevention, security, embedded media, and site performance.

These may include, but are not limited to:

  • WordPress and hosting providers
  • Beehiiv
  • Google Analytics
  • Google AdSense
  • YouTube / Google
  • Amazon Associates
  • eBay Partner Network
  • Security, anti-spam, backup, or CDN/WAF providers

These providers process information according to their own policies and contractual terms.

How We Use Information

WNN may use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website
  • Respond to messages, tips, corrections, and submissions
  • Review and improve editorial content
  • Send newsletters and site updates
  • Measure website performance and audience interest
  • Display, manage, and measure advertising

How Long We Keep Information

WNN keeps information only for as long as reasonably needed for editorial, administrative, security, legal, backup, analytics, or business purposes.

Reader submissions may be retained to preserve editorial context, verify future updates, or document corrections. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to provider backups and legal/security requirements.

Backups may retain information for a limited period even after deletion from active systems.

How We Share Information

WNN does not sell personal information for direct payment.

We may share or make information available to service providers that help operate the site, deliver newsletters, provide analytics, serve ads, track affiliate referrals, prevent spam, secure the site, or host embedded content.

Advertising and analytics technologies may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws. Where applicable, users may manage choices through browser controls, Google ad settings, consent tools, or other opt-out mechanisms.

Security

WNN uses reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the site and reduce abuse, spam, unauthorized access, and malware risk.

No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

  • Unsubscribe from newsletters using the link in the email.

support@worldnumismaticnews.com

We may need to verify your request before acting on it. Some information may be retained where required for security, legal, backup, fraud-prevention, or legitimate editorial purposes.
