Somewhere north of the tree line, where the maples go quiet and the lake
keeps its own counsel, something has been waiting a long time to be found.
Sign up to my mailing list and I'll send you a free short story — a little
Fantasy Michigan magic for your inbox, plus occasional word when something
new comes out.

title: "Privacy Policy"
description: "How cateconners.com collects, uses, and protects your information."
---
_Last updated: July 2026_
This policy explains what information this site collects through use of
cateconners.com, and what happens to it.
## What this site collects
Depending on how you use the site, that may include:
- Your name, email address, and message, when you submit the contact form.
- Your email address, if you sign up for the free short story.
- Your email address and name, if given, if you opt in to ongoing updates.
This site doesn't use third-party analytics, ad trackers, or tracking
pixels. Everything above runs on infrastructure operated directly —
nothing is handed to a third-party marketing platform.
## Why this site collects it
- To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
- To deliver the short story you signed up for.
- To send periodic updates to people who've explicitly opted in — never
as a side effect of simply using the site.
## What this site doesn't do
- This site doesn't sell or rent your information to anyone.
- This site doesn't share it with third parties except the infrastructure
providers necessary to run the site and send email (e.g. the hosting
provider and its network) — none of whom get to use it for their own
purposes.
## Your control over it
- **Unsubscribe**: every ongoing-update email includes an unsubscribe
link. Clicking it removes you from that list immediately.
- **The free short story**: this is a one-off signup with no ongoing
subscription — once you've received it, there's nothing further to opt
out of unless you also joined the ongoing updates list.
- **Deletion**: reach out through [the contact form](/contact/) and
your information will be deleted from these systems.
## Security
Your information is stored on infrastructure controlled directly, not
handed off to third-party SaaS platforms. That doesn't make it
invulnerable — no system is — but it does mean there's exactly one place
your data lives, and one party accountable for it.
## Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top of this
page will be updated.
