What We Receive
When you contact the archive desk, we receive the name, email address, organization, inquiry type, and message you choose to provide. We may also retain the page from which the inquiry was submitted and its submission time.
How We Use It
We use this information to assess and respond to founder submissions, collaboration requests, production inquiries, partnerships, and requests for The Algorithm's services. We do not sell inquiry information.
Publication and Consent
Sending an inquiry does not grant Chai & Code permission to publish private material. Founder interviews, private artifacts, production footage, and personal testimony require a separate editorial conversation and appropriate consent.
Storage
Online inquiries are stored in the private editorial system used by the archive. Direct email is handled by the relevant email provider. Access is limited to people responsible for reviewing and responding to the inquiry.
Requests
To ask what information we hold, correct it, or request deletion, email stories@chaiandcode.org.
