PRIVACY
A clear view.
How this website handles your visit and contributions.
Browsing the site
You do not need an account to browse or contribute. The site has no advertising tracker. Story search and topic filters run in your browser.
Editorial submissions
When you submit a story, we collect the email address, optional name, message, links and video you choose to send. They are stored privately for editorial review, follow-up and checking permissions. They are not displayed publicly or published automatically.
Submit material you own or have permission to share. Contact us before sending sensitive source information. Ordinary website forms should not be treated as a secure channel for confidential sources.
You can request access to or deletion of your submission by emailing us from the address you used, with its reference number. We keep submissions only while they remain useful for editorial work or necessary to document permission, then review them for removal.
Keeping submissions usable
We use a short-lived form token and limited, hashed technical identifiers to reduce repeated or automated submissions. Private inbox access uses a necessary session cookie. Neither is used for advertising.
Video playback
YouTube players load only after you press play and use YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain. YouTube may process information under its own privacy policy when playback starts.
Contact and sharing
Email links open your email app. Story sharing copies the canonical story link to your clipboard, with a manual-copy option.
Hosting
Hosting services process technical requests to deliver the site and maintain security. Your submissions and attachments are accessible only to the editorial team.
Questions
Contact contact@whyplus.org with privacy questions or a request about your submission.
