Privacy Policy for Email Communications

Effective December 1, 2025, the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation and the South Dakota State Historical Society will begin using Constant Contact to deliver newsletters, announcements, and updates to our members, donors, partners, and the public.

Constant Contact provides the email platform we use to manage and distribute our communications. It uses subscriber information only to send emails on our behalf and does not buy, sell, or rent contact information. The platform also provides basic analytics—such as open rates and link clicks—which we use solely to improve how we deliver information to our community.

  • Review email engagement analytics to improve communication delivery

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties unless required by law.

Data Protection

We take data privacy seriously. Only authorized staff have access to personal information, and we maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.

You may Opt Out:

  • Opt out at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email
