Privacy and youth safety

YNGPPL is a free printed zine made by people aged 12 to 18. This page says exactly what we collect, who we will and will not collect it from, and how to make it stop. It is written to be read in about ninety seconds by a parent.

The short version

We collect one email address, from people 13 and over, and we use it once to say the issue is out. We do not sign up anyone under 13. We do not sell, rent or share anything with an advertiser. Ask us and it is deleted.

Nobody under 13

The signup asks the year you were born before it asks anything else. If that makes you under 13, nothing is collected at all. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent, and nothing is counted. A parent or guardian can sign up with their own address instead, and we will write to them rather than to the child.

We also do not store the birth year itself. It is used to decide yes or no and then it is gone.

What we hold, in full

An email address. That is the entire list. No name, no age, no address, no school, no phone number, no birthday.
The date you signed up, and the browser string your device sent, kept so we can spot automated abuse of the form.

We do not use tracking pixels, advertising cookies, analytics that follow you between sites, or any third party script. There is no account and there is no app.

Contributors are different, and stricter

If your child sends work in for a bounty, we hold four things and nothing else:

Their name, so the credit prints and so they can be paid.
One way to reach them.
The permission form, signed by a parent or guardian for anyone under 18.
Nothing else. No address, no school, no birthday, no device.

Under 13, a parent or guardian submits on the child's behalf and the permission we keep on file is the adult's, not the child's. Payment for anyone under 18 goes to the parent or guardian, never directly to the young person.

What we will never do

Sell, rent or trade a contact to anybody.
Give an advertiser a name. Advertisers buy space on a page and that is all they get.
Print a contributor's school.
Use a contributor's work in an advertisement.
Send anything you did not ask for.

How to make it stop

Write to hello@yngppl.xyz and ask. We delete the record that week and we write back to say it is done. You do not need to give a reason and you do not need to be the person who signed up, if you are their parent or guardian.

A parent can always ask what we hold on their child, get a copy of it, and have it deleted. There is no form to fill in. A person reads that address and answers it.

Who is responsible
