Privacy information

The website includes an optional endorsement and personal-story submission form. It uses Google Analytics 4 to measure visits, page views, navigation, outbound link clicks, and completed website submissions. Analytics helps us understand how the website is used. Advertising personalization is disabled.

Endorsements and personal stories

When you submit the form, your name, email address, message, submission type, and sharing preference are emailed to ZickusJD@gmail.com for review and follow-up. Nothing is published automatically. Messages marked private are not for publication. If you give permission, your submitted message and name may be published on this website only after approval. Your email address is not published.

The form uses a temporary session cookie to protect submissions and prevent duplicate sends. A hash of your network address and short-lived submission counts are stored privately to limit spam; message content is not stored in a public website file. Submission emails remain in the reviewer's mailbox. To request removal or withdraw permission before publication, email ZickusJD@gmail.com.

External websites

Links to Facebook, Instagram, news organizations, and other external websites are governed by those services' own privacy policies.

Future services

Google Analytics may use cookies and process technical information such as your device, traffic source, and approximate location. We do not send your submitted name, email address, message, or private approval links to Google Analytics. A completed submission is recorded as a count without its contents.
