I won’t share your personal identifiable information, including your name, email address, etc. (Unless you ask me to, or you’ve done or said something at the level where I need to contact the authorities.) I will make every effort to safeguard your information, but even big companies suffer data breaches, so I can’t make any guarantees.

If you sign up for my mailing list, I might email you sometimes. Sometimes those emails may be trying to sell you something.

If you write something to me through this website, I will not share that content publicly. But if you say something so interesting, nice and/or mean that I want to share with my friends, I might. (One time, someone sent me the NICEST message about “Turtle Day, or Kate Malone and the Magic Calzone!”) I spend a lot of time online, so sharing may involve sending via possibly unencrypted texts or emails, posting on unencrypted but private groups on or off of social media, etc. I will NOT share your name, and I will make every effort to severely limit the audience of anything you send. But if you want an absolute guarantee that no one will see it, please don’t submit anything through this website.

Please don’t send unsolicited ideas. I’m sure they’re great, but I don’t want anyone to think I stole anyone’s idea, etc.

Overall, I’m trying to care properly for your data and not be evil. Thank you.
