Privacy Policy

Information you give us: your name and email when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, or submit a story; and the content of any story or message you choose to send.

Information collected automatically: basic, aggregated usage data (such as pages visited) that helps us improve the site. We do not use this to identify you personally.

When you submit a story, you choose how you are credited. If you select “Share anonymously”, we will never publish your name — your story appears as “Anonymous”.

Every submission is reviewed by our team and only appears publicly after it is approved. Any contact email you provide is kept private, used only to reach you about your story, and is never published.

We use your information to respond to your messages, review and publish approved stories, process donations, send updates you have asked for, and understand how the site is used so we can make it better.

We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with trusted service providers who help us operate the site and our programs, or where we are required to by law.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to withdraw a story you have submitted. Contact us using the details below and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date below. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
