Privacy Policy

At Highpotheses, we value your curiosity, creativity, and trust. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle any personal information that may be shared through this platform, including our website, submission forms, and other interactive features.

1. What We Collect (and Why)

Highpotheses only collects the minimum amount of information necessary to maintain the functionality and integrity of the site. The only time we actively collect personal data is when you choose to submit a story, reflection, or message through our platform.

When using our submission form, you may voluntarily provide:

• A name or nickname (optional)

• An email address (optional)

• A written submission (your “Highpothesis”)

• Your preferences regarding anonymity and sharing permissions

This information is used only to:

• Receive and review your submission

• Contact you if you’ve requested follow-up or permission to publish

• Feature your content with proper credit (only if allowed by you)

We do not collect or track sensitive personal information, and we do not profile users based on their submissions or browsing behavior.

2. How We Store and Protect Your Information

Submissions are stored securely and are accessed only by the platform’s administrator(s) for the purpose of curation and content management. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information with third parties, ever.

While no platform can guarantee perfect digital security, we take reasonable precautions to ensure your data remains private and protected from unauthorized access.

3. Cookies and Analytics

At this time, Highpotheses does not use cookies for tracking or targeted advertising. Basic analytics (such as site traffic or page views) may be gathered through our web hosting service solely for understanding general engagement with the platform. No personally identifiable information is collected for these analytics.

4. Third-Party Tools and Integrations

If Highpotheses integrates with external tools in the future (such as newsletter signups or embedded media), any data shared with those tools will be subject to their privacy policies. We will clearly identify any such services if or when they are used.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You are always in control of your information. If you have submitted a Highpothesis and wish to edit or remove it, or if you want any personal information you shared deleted, you can email us directly at [insert email address]. We will honor your request with care and respect.

6. Children’s Privacy

Highpotheses is intended for an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect or store information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has submitted personal information, we will delete it promptly.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or the platform’s needs. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised accordingly.

8. Final Note

Highpotheses is a space for reflection, not instruction. The same respect and mindfulness we apply to our stories, we apply to your privacy. We don’t need to know everything about you; we’re just here to explore what flows through you.
