Information We Collect
When you submit a story, we collect your name, email address, story title, and story text. When you pay an entry fee, payment is processed directly by Stripe — PocketPlots never sees or stores your card details.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to process your submission, contact you about contest results, and, if your story is selected, to credit you on the PocketPlots site and in the annual anthology. We do not send marketing newsletters and do not sell your information to third parties.
Data Retention
We retain submission data for as long as needed to run the contest, publish results, and meet accounting and legal obligations.
