Privacy

Stories and comments don’t require an account or an email. We don’t ask who you are, and we don’t try to find out. Optional signals like gender stay attached to the piece, not to a person.

If you subscribe, your email is held by our email provider for delivery only. This site does not show a subscriber list to anyone, including in admin. We send from a list, we don’t browse names. Leave whenever.

Submissions are screened for identifying details before they go up. That review may use an automated safety check on the text you wrote. Nothing publishes until a human approves it.

We don’t sell data. We don’t build profiles. The point of this place is that you can speak without becoming the story.
