What the desk records

The desk keeps the letters it receives and the address each came from, so that it can answer a correction or a source. It keeps the record of which leaf changed, when, and on whose evidence, because the errata of the volume is part of the magazine.

What the desk does with a letter

A letter is read by the desk, and the address it came from serves one purpose: answering that letter. Beyond that answer, the desk keeps the letter alone, names the organisation to write to when a message belongs elsewhere, and deletes a letter and its address on request.

How long a message is kept

A correction or a source stays in the record of the volume for as long as the leaf it concerns is published. A question that does not change a leaf is kept for one year and then removed. A reader can ask the desk to delete a letter and its address at any time, and the desk does so within a month.

Measurement

The site counts pages read and errors met so that the desk knows which leaves are used. Those counts hold no name and no address, and they are read as totals, never as one reader.
