Memoirs of a Gay Sha (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to give us directly, such as:
- Your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter via Substack
- Any story, message, or content you submit to us through our contact page
- Basic technical information automatically collected by our hosting provider, such as browser type and general location, used only for site security and performance
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Story Submissions
If you submit a story to us, it will be published anonymously by default. We do not publish your name, contact details, or any other identifying information unless you explicitly ask us to credit you. Anonymity is central to what makes this space safe — it’s how people can tell the truth about their lives without fear of exposure. Given the sensitive and personal nature of what people share with us, we take extra care to protect contributor identities, especially where safety may be a concern.
