The plain-English version, in the warm tavern light.
We collect the bare minimum needed to keep the lights on and the newsletter going. We don't sell your data. We don't share it with third parties for their marketing. You can unsubscribe from any of our emails any time, and you can ask us to delete your information by emailing us.

This privacy policy explains how Come Write Inn Studios (operating Black Belt Bots™ at blackbeltbots.com) collects, uses, and protects information from people who visit the site, subscribe to the newsletter, or interact with our chatbots and tools.
When you subscribe, register, or fill out a form on our site, you may be asked to provide your name, email address, and occasionally other details (such as a topic of interest or a question). When you interact with one of our chatbots, the conversation content is recorded so we can deliver the response and improve the experience over time.
We also automatically receive standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) through our hosting provider, Cloudflare. These logs help us understand site usage and protect against abuse.
We use the information you give us to:
Our site uses cookies (small files stored in your browser) to remember preferences and to help us understand how the site is being used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, but some preferences may not persist between visits.
We use a small number of trusted services to operate the site and deliver our work, including:
Each of these services has its own privacy practices. We share with them only what they need to do their job, and we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to outside parties for their own marketing purposes.
We send periodic emails to people who have subscribed to the newsletter or opted into a program. Every marketing email includes a clear unsubscribe link. We honor unsubscribe requests promptly — usually instantly, always within a few business days.
This site is not directed at children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under thirteen. If you are between thirteen and eighteen, please use the site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
You can email us at any time to:
We respond to these requests as quickly as we reasonably can.
We may update this policy from time to time as the site and the work evolve. The "last updated" date at the bottom of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
