This page explains what we keep when you use the site or contact us with a story, why we keep it, and what you can ask us to do with it.
When you submit a story or write to us about folklore, we keep your message: your name, email address and the details of the tale or research you've shared. After registration, you can manage these details in your account settings.
Our site also records ordinary technical information, such as the type of browser used and the pages you visit, so we can improve how the archive performs and ensure it remains secure for all readers.
Messages stay with us while we are talking and for a reasonable period afterwards. Records tied to an order are kept longer, because we may need to look them up.
We do not sell personal information. It is shared only with the services that help us run the studio, and only the part they need to do their job.
Access is limited to the people who need it, and anything sent through this site travels over an encrypted connection.
You can ask to see what we hold, to correct it, or to have it removed. Write to us and we will confirm once it is done.
The site sets a small number of cookies. Which ones, and how to switch them off, is set out separately.
If we change anything here, we will update this page and note the date at the top.
Anything unclear can be sent through our contact page, and we will respond with a straightforward answer.
