What the forms on this site collect, why they ask, where a submission goes, and how to have it removed.
The short version: a submission becomes an email to me. It is not written to a database, it does not feed an ad network, and it never turns into a mailing list.
What each form collects, and why
There are four ways to write to me here. Each one asks only for what makes a useful first reply possible, and every one of them lands in the same inbox as an email, tagged by which form it came from.
The email address you give is used to reply to you about your enquiry, and for nothing else.
Booking enquiry
On the contact page and the booking page.
Your name, organization, and role. Your email, and a phone number if you choose to give one. And the event: its name, its date if one is fixed, the location, the type of event, expected attendance as a range, what you are looking for, a budget range if you know it, and anything else you want to add.
So the first reply can be an answer about your actual event instead of a list of questions. Booking enquiries also get an automatic reply carrying the media kit, sent to the email you gave.
Sponsorship enquiry
On the contact page and the sponsorship page.
Your name and your business, with its website if you give one. Your email, and a phone number if you choose to. The type of business, what interests you, the level you have in mind, and what you would want out of it.
The last field is the one that matters. What you would want out of it defines what I can offer you. The rest just tells me which conversation we are having.
Speaking enquiry
On the youth program page, and on the contact page under speaking to young people.
About you, the adult arranging the visit: your name, your role, your organization or school, your email, and a phone number if you choose to give one. About the visit: a date or a rough timeframe, where it would be, and what the occasion is if you want to say.
About the young people, two ranges and nothing else: roughly how many, and roughly what ages. Both are chosen from a short list of bands. The form has no field for a child’s name, birth date, contact details, or anything else about them as an individual, and no way to attach a file or a list.
Because knowing it is thirty teenagers at a school in the next county, in the spring, is enough to answer you properly, and knowing anything about any one of them is not needed for that. The full rules are under young people, below.
Something else
On the contact page.
Your name, your email, your message.
That is all a first reply needs.
The spam check
Every form carries a hidden field that a person never sees. Automated spam tends to fill it, and a submission that arrives with it filled is dropped.
The speaking form stops there, on purpose. It gets filled in on school and library computers, on networks that often block outside checks, and a teacher who gets refused does not try again. Alongside the hidden field it notes only how long the form took to fill in. Both of those happen here, and neither sends anything to anyone else.
The booking, sponsorship, and general forms carry one more thing: Cloudflare Turnstile, a small check from Cloudflare that sits visibly on the form and works out whether the visit looks automated, without asking you to do anything. No puzzles, no picking pictures out of a grid. To make that call, Cloudflare processes technical signals from your browser and connection, under Cloudflare’s own privacy terms:
Young people
The speaking enquiry exists so an adult can arrange a visit for a group of young people. The rule is simple: I collect from the adult, never the child.
No form on this site asks for a young person’s name, date of birth, contact details, or anything else about them as an individual. Where a form asks about a group at all, it asks in ranges: roughly how many, roughly what ages. And when you write your message, there is no need to name or describe any individual student, so please do not.
No child’s personal information is requested here, and none is stored.
Photo and video consent
Permission to photograph or film young people is its own conversation, on its own paperwork, handled directly with the school or organization before a visit. It is never a checkbox bundled into a form on this site.
Analytics
There are none. No analytics script, no tracking pixel, no ad tag. I do not know who you are when you read this site, and nothing here follows you when you leave.
The one thing the site keeps in your browser is your theme choice, night or paper, if you ever switch it. That setting stays on your device. It is not sent anywhere.
Where a submission lives, and for how long
A submission becomes an email in my inbox. That is the whole storage story. The site itself keeps no database of submissions and no copy of your message.
So two copies exist once you press send: the email in my inbox, and a copy at Resend, the service that carries the email to me. Resend keeps sent email, content included, for 30 days and then deletes it. Its short-term backups clear within about a week after that.
In my inbox, a booking or sponsorship thread stays while we are actually working together, because it is the record of what was agreed.
Speaking enquiries are handled differently, because of who they concern. They do not sit in the inbox indefinitely. When the visit has happened, or an enquiry has gone quiet, the thread is deleted, not archived, and it is never reused for anything.
Ask me to delete it
If you sent something through a form and want it gone, say so through the contact form and name the enquiry. I will delete the thread from my inbox. The copy at Resend deletes itself on the 30-day clock either way.
