Privacy

BeautifullyWrong.com is an educational storytelling site. We aim to keep privacy simple: collect less, protect more, and handle messages with care.

Plain-language privacy notes

Your story belongs in your file cabinet, not ours.

This page explains how BeautifullyWrong.com may handle basic visitor information, contact emails, external links, and site operations.

Privacy summary

BeautifullyWrong.com is primarily a public informational website. You can browse the site without intentionally providing personal information.

If you choose to email us, we may receive the information you include in that message, such as your name, email address, organization, question, correction, or project idea.

The short version from Serendipity Cat: do not send sensitive information you do not want handled as a normal email inquiry.

Information you provide

Email is the main way visitors may share information.

When you contact the Invention Desk, you decide what to include.

We may use your message to respond to your inquiry, review a correction, discuss a collaboration, consider an invention suggestion, or manage ordinary site-related communication.

How information may be used

Simple, practical, site-related purposes

Information Possible use Purpose Goblin note
Contact email Respond to your message, correction, question, or collaboration inquiry. Clear subject lines are appreciated.
Correction details Review and improve pages, wording, sources, links, or site quality. The museum likes better labels.
Technical logs Maintain site security, troubleshoot errors, and keep pages available. Less glamorous than invention, but necessary.
Public suggestions Consider new exhibit ideas or educational topics. Do not send secrets as suggestions.
Attachments Review only if you intentionally send them and they are relevant to your inquiry. Send only what is needed.

Normal email is not the right place for highly sensitive personal, medical, financial, confidential, or private material.

If you are contacting us about a correction or idea, keep the message focused on the site, the page, the topic, and the public information needed to understand your note.
