What we collect, why we collect it, and what we do not do with it.

You are not the product.
This site exists to hold stories with care. We do not sell your email. We do not run ads against your submission text. If something here is unclear, use the contact form.
Age
This site is for adults (18 and older). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.
When you send a story
The "Add your voice" form collects what you choose to enter: display name, email, country (if you pick one), story fields, optional media links, consent flags, and technical metadata needed to process the submission. Submissions are reviewed before anything is published.
Nothing on this site is therapy, a crisis service, or a clinical assessment. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a helpline you trust.
Footer and form sign-ups
If you join the mailing list from the footer or tick the list option in the voice flow, we store your email so we can send occasional updates. You can unsubscribe from any marketing email using the link in those messages, or reach us through the contact form.
Scapegoat self-check list
On the scapegoat self-check page, if you mark statements you've lived, those choices are stored in your browser (local storage). They are not sent to our servers unless you separately submit a story through the main form.
Analytics and hosting
Optional analytics only run if you Accept cookies. Until then — or if you Reject — we do not load Google Analytics. You can change your mind anytime via Manage cookies in the footer.
If you accept, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read (IP anonymization on). The site is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare (CDN / security) — that essential delivery is separate from optional analytics.
We do not sell this data. We do not use it to build advertising profiles about individual readers.
Payments
If you contribute through Support us, payment is handled by Stripe. Stripe processes your payment details. We receive what Stripe shows us for the donation — for example email and amount — not your full card number.
