Privacy & Consent

1. Personal information
I will avoid publishing private or identifying information about another person unless I have a clear reason to include it and believe it is appropriate to share. Names and identifying details may be changed, generalized, or left out entirely when they are not necessary to the story.

2. Sensitive situations and conflicts
Personal conflicts involving friends, family, or other people will be treated with more caution. I do not want this blog to become a place where private disagreements are publicly documented simply because they happened to involve me. Whenever possible, issues should be dealt with privately before I consider writing about them publicly.

3. Consent
If a post focuses heavily on an identifiable person or includes information that could reasonably be considered private or sensitive, I will make an effort to receive their consent before publishing it.
Consent is also not permanent. Someone who was previously comfortable appearing in a post may later change their mind.

4. Requests for revision or removal
If I have written about you and you are uncomfortable with something that appears on this blog, you can ask me to revise, anonymize, or remove that information at any time. This applies regardless of how long the post has been published.
I will take these requests seriously and make a reasonable effort to address them.

5. My own experiences
This policy does not mean that I will avoid writing about relationships or experiences involving other people entirely. This is still a personal blog, and other people naturally appear in my life.
My goal is to distinguish between writing about my experience involving someone else and publishing information that primarily belongs to their private life.

6. Older posts
Some posts were written before I established these standards. I may revise, anonymize, or remove sections of older posts if I later believe they cross boundaries that I am no longer comfortable with.

7. This policy may change
My standards for privacy and consent will probably continue developing as this blog grows. This page may be updated in the future to reflect those changes.
