Your words are yours.
I built this site to respect you, and that includes your privacy. Here is exactly what happens to anything you type here, in plain language, with no legal fog.
If you subscribe
I store one thing: your email address. It lives in my mailing service (Mailchimp) and is used for a single purpose, to send you the writing. I do not sell it, share it, rent it, or hand it to anyone. Unsubscribe in one click, any time, and you are gone for good.
If you support the work
Payments are handled entirely by Square. Your card details go straight to them; they never touch this site, and I never see or store them. All I learn is that someone chose to help, and your name if it appears on the receipt.
Ask Me & Tell Me — the part I care about most
When you ask me something, or tell me something, your words do not pass through any outside form company. No Formstack, no Jotform, no HubSpot, no Google Form, no Mailchimp, no analytics service, no database. I went out of my way to make sure of it.
Instead, I wrote the small program that handles it myself. It takes what you typed, sends it to me as a private email, and then forgets it. Nothing is saved on the site. Nothing is logged. Nothing is added to any list. It reaches me the way a letter reaches a mailbox, and my inbox is the only place it ever exists.
If you choose to leave your email so I can reply, it is used for exactly that, a reply from me, and nothing else.
No one is watching you read
There are no advertising trackers here, no pixels, no third-party analytics following you from page to page. The only thing kept on your own device is a small private note that remembers which three questions you have already answered, so the Tell Me page can offer you fresh ones next time. It stays on your device. I never see it, and it never leaves your browser.
Changing your mind
Want off the list, or want me to delete something you sent me? Just ask. Write to writer@atma.blog and it is done, no questions, no friction.
The whole idea of this place is trust. This page is part of keeping it.
