_Last updated: July 2026_
|
|
|
|
This policy explains what information this site collects through use of
|
|
thistleandmoth.org, 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 story.
|
|
- Your email address and name, if given, if you opt in to ongoing updates.
|
|
- Your name, email, manuscript, bio, and (optionally) a headshot, if you
|
|
submit work through the [submissions page](/submissions/).
|
|
|
|
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 free story you signed up for.
|
|
- To review manuscripts submitted for consideration.
|
|
- 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 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.
