Your letter is private.
What we store
The form stores your nickname, subject and letter, your email if you choose to provide it, your publication consent and the time of submission. These details are used to read and edit your question.
Who can read your letter
Your submitted letter is accessible only to the signed-in site owner. Your email and original private letter are never published automatically. A reply or email contact is not guaranteed.
Possible publication
Permission to publish is optional and separate from sending your letter. Only with your consent may the editor select an anonymised, edited excerpt for the public column. Please leave out sensitive details and information about other people.
Requesting removal
To request removal of your letter or change your consent, write through the Dear Karin form and include the original letter reference from your confirmation. A human editor will handle your request.
How the site works
Content is stored on the server. A short-lived derived visitor identifier is used to limit repeated submissions; the application does not store the original IP address for this purpose. The editor signs in through ChatGPT. No advertising or analytics trackers have been added to this site.
