Privacy Policy & Data Collection Notice   

Thank you for your interest in sharing your ideas with the broader Romantic community. Please read on for the details of our privacy policy & data collection notice. By participating in or responding to the K-SAA Digital Initiatives, you confirm that you understand and agree to the following policy on data collection: 

1. Purpose and visibility 

The purpose of data collection is to facilitate the mapping and understanding of the various connections between Romantic writers and their modern-day readers. The data you voluntarily provide via Twitter/Mastodon or our webform will be made public and open-access on the K-SAA website and social media outlets, and included in our digital commonplace book. This means that the information you provide may also potentially be used by third parties for research (non-commercial) purposes and always in compliance with the FAIR principles. To read more about the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0) under which our data will be released, click here.  

2. Types of data collected 

The data collected include your inputs and ideas in response to the given theme of the initiatives, demographic information including but not limited to: your first name, location/nationality, institutional affiliation (if any), and any other information you choose to provide. There is always an option for participants to withhold or anonymize parts of this information. We may try to evaluate this initiative by making references to the built-in web analytics data on this site, i.e. anonymized statistical data such as page views and clicks. 

3. Withdrawing a submission 

The K-SAA Communications team will make every effort to withdraw and delete the data collected in a submission upon request, though it cannot be guaranteed that your entry can be removed from the (downloadable) digital copy of the commonplace book after its publication. There may also be some possible delay if a very long time has elapsed since the submission such that the appointments of the Communications Fellows who oversee the relevant volume have ended.

Please direct any inquiries to the K-SAA Communications Team at ksaacomm@gamil.com.
