Privacy
This page says what the house keeps from people who write through the forms, for how long, why, and how to ask to see, fix, or delete it.
What is kept
Only what comes from the forms: the message, name, and email from the note; the poem, title, language, the choice to sign or stay anonymous, the contact email, and the declarations from the specialty coffee. What you send does not come straight to me: it goes through a contracted form service, which keeps a copy and records technical data about the submission — IP address, browser, and date and time — and may keep that copy in another country. While the forms are turned off, I still receive nothing and nothing is kept. Also, in the room, your browser stores a tiny mark (no name, no cookie, nothing that identifies you) just to remember that you already saw the "First time here?" section. That mark stays on your device and is never sent to anyone; you can erase it by clearing the site's data.
For how long
A note, until I reply, at most 6 months. A declined specialty coffee, up to 90 days. An approved specialty coffee, for as long as it's published — and it can be removed upon request at any time. The declarations of authorship, age, and licence from the specialty coffee are kept as proof of the submission for an expected period of 5 years.
What for
To reply to notes, and to evaluate and, if I approve, publish specialty coffees — nothing beyond that. Nothing is sold, used for advertising, or used to build a profile of anyone.
How to ask for access, correction, or deletion
Through the note form itself — say what you want in the message. The house's email doesn't appear on this site.
