PRIVACY
Privacy should be understandable.
The Chronicles collects the information needed to run submissions, feedback, contributor accounts, publication, and community participation. We aim to keep that collection purposeful and transparent.
Information you give us
This can include account information, contact details, contributor profile information, submissions and source files, feedback, artwork, illustration materials, publication permissions, accessibility descriptions, and messages you send through the site.
How we use it
We use information to operate the editorial and publication workflows, communicate about contributions, attribute published work, maintain contribution history and recognition, respond to messages, and protect the integrity of the journal.
What becomes public
Only information intended for publication — such as a chosen byline, public biography, published work, contributor roles, The Spark when included with published work, and public recognition — is shown publicly. Private email addresses, unpublished manuscripts, editor-only comments, and private workflow records are not intended for public display.
Site operation
The site uses WordPress and hosting infrastructure to provide accounts, sessions, file storage, email, security, and publication features. Necessary cookies or similar browser storage may be used for sign-in, security, preferences, and essential site operation.
We do not sell contributor data.
The Chronicles does not sell personal information to advertisers. Information may be processed by service providers only as needed to operate the journal and its infrastructure.
