Privacy Policy:

Why do you need my email address?

We use an email address as a unique identifier. It becomes your login name. We will not sell or rent email addresses at any time. If you have checked that you would like to be on our mailing list we will use your email to send information about your subscription and information about One Story events and authors.

Do you sell or rent any of my personal information?

From time to time we may rent our list of subscribers and submitters (mailing addresses) to like minded organizations for a one time only use. This is an additional source of revenue for One Story and allows us to continue publishing. We do not and will not rent or sell phone numbers or email addresses since we believe contact by phone or email is simply too intrusive. If you would prefer that we do not rent your name and mailing address, please use the contact page to request to be removed from this list.
