Human-scale privacy,
for a public archive.
Cantonese American collects only the information needed to read, review, and follow up on scene nominations.
When you use the nomination form, the archive may receive the scene description, source link, timestamp, language guess, notes, category guess, and an optional offer to help translate or verify the material.
You can also include an optional name or email if you want a reply. That contact information is for editorial follow-up. It will not be published in the public candidate queue or on the archive without permission.
Submissions may be used to research future archive entries, verify public scenes, or shape editorial commentary. They may also be summarized internally so the weekly queue can move from nomination to review to publication.
If you include a name or email, it stays in the submission workflow unless you explicitly agree to be credited publicly.
The candidate list on the site is editorially curated and does not expose private emails or unpublished personal details.
Nominations help the archive research scenes, plan verification work, and decide what to publish next.
If you submitted something and want your contact details or nomination removed from the workflow, you can ask.
Privacy or removal questions can stay simple.
If you want a nomination reviewed, corrected, or removed from the archive workflow, contact the site with the details you sent and what you want changed.

Include enough context for the archive to find the submission and respond without guesswork.
