Yourprivacy

You can read everything here without giving us anything. We only keep what you choose to send us, we use it only for this site, and we never sell it or show ads. Ask us and we will delete it.

• Stories, memories, photos, recordings, places and corrections you share, with the name and credit you choose. Your email is kept only to tell you what happened to your submission and is never shown. Location and camera details are removed from photos when they are uploaded.
• Comments: the name you give and what you write, shown next to the comment.
• Messages to us: your name, email and message, so we can reply.
• The newsletter: your email and the language you signed up in, used only to send it. Reply “unsubscribe” to any letter, or write to us, and we delete you from the list.
• Visits: we count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you. We see totals, such as which pages are read and from which countries, not people.

Your browser remembers whether you chose the paper or night theme, and keeps an unsent draft of a story so you don’t lose it; neither leaves your device. One small cookie remembers whether you read in English or Krio. There are no tracking or advertising cookies. Our editors get one more, to stay signed in.

Di Tɛm ɛn Tɔri is run by its founder, Daverose Tholley. If an organisation is set up later to run it, what we hold moves to that organisation, only to keep running the site, and this page will name it. We will email newsletter readers before it happens, so you can leave the list if you want.

The site runs on a few trusted services for hosting, storage and email. They hold data only to run the site for us, and may store it outside Sierra Leone.

You can ask to see what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, including anything you shared. If you or your family appear in something on the site and don’t want to, we take it down first and talk after: ask for a take-down. Write to hello@dt-ets.com.

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree before you share anything with us.

If this changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
