Our Commitment

At BDFA, privacy is not just a technical detail, it is part of our politics of care. We work with stories that are often vulnerable, silenced, or at risk. Protecting the people behind these stories is as important to us as preserving them.

What We Collect

• Materials you choose to share (writings, images, oral histories, documents).
  
• Contact information if you reach out to us directly.
  
• Basic non-identifying technical data (like browser type, device, or pages visited) to keep the site running smoothly.
  

We do not sell, trade, or hand over your data to anyone.

Anonymity & Consent

• You may contribute under your name, a pseudonym, or anonymously.
  
• We remove identifying details if sharing them could put you at risk.
  
• Oral histories and interviews are shared only with informed consent.
  
• You can request removal, restriction, or edits to your contributions at any time.
  

Security & Access

• Materials are stored on secure servers with restricted access.
  
• Backups are maintained carefully, but personal details are never shared without consent.
  
• We limit access to sensitive materials based on contributor preferences.
  
• While no digital system is 100% safe, we are committed to continually strengthening our security.
  

Your Rights

As a contributor, you have the right to:

• Decide how your materials are shared (public, private, restricted).
  
• Request edits, updates, or complete removal.
  
• Ask how your materials are being stored, protected, or used.
  

Updates

This policy may be updated as our work grows. Any significant changes will be posted here with a clear “last updated” date.
