Thank you for sharing your Milestone Meal story. I care deeply about your privacy, and I want you to feel completely comfortable adding your memories here. This section explains what information you may choose to submit, how it’s used, and how your story will appear on the Milestone Meals page.

1. What you may choose to share

Depending on what you submit, I may receive:

• Your name

• Your email

• A written story

• A photo

• The milestone being celebrated

• Your permission to publish your story

• Any additional notes you share

You can include as little or as much as you feel comfortable sharing.

2. How your information is used

Your submission is used only for:

• Reading and appreciating your story

• Contacting you if needed

• Publishing your story on this page only if you give explicit permission

Your information is never shared, never sold, and never added to any mailing list unless you sign up separately.

3. How your story may appear on the site

If you check the permission box, your published story may include:

• Your first name and last initial

• Your story (lightly edited for clarity, length, or flow)

• Your photo (optional)

• A gentle title created from your submission

All edits honor your voice, meaning, and intent.

4. How your email is handled

Your email is:

• Used only for communication about your submission

• Kept private

• Never displayed publicly

• Never added to any list

• Never shared with anyone

This is a one‑to‑one connection between you and me only.

5. How photos are handled

If you upload a photo:

• It will only be shared if you give explicit permission

• You must own the photo or have the right to share it

• It may be gently optimized for display (size or brightness)

• You may request removal at any time

6. Editing your story

Your story may be:

• Lightly edited for clarity, grammar, or length

• Never rewritten in a way that changes your meaning

• Presented with care and respect

• Removed or revised at your request, at any time

7. Your right to remove or modify your story

At any point, you may request:

• Removal of your story

• Removal or swapping of your name

• Editing or correcting your submission

• Deletion of your photo

Just send me a note — and I’ll take care of it quickly.

8. Data storage

Your submission is stored securely through:

• Squarespace’s form system

• Email (delivered to me directly)

I do not store your information in any other system.

9. Updates to this policy

As the Milestone Meals project grows, this section may be updated for clarity. The heart of it will always remain:

Your stories are yours.
You choose what is shared.
And your privacy always comes first.
