What is collected
The interest form collects contact information, publication details, a broad workflow description, approximate contribution capacity, and willingness to attest or provide supporting evidence. Invited contributors may later provide article text, post-specific workflow answers, consent selections, and optional drafts, screenshots, or histories.
How it is stored
Study records are stored in private databases and file fields in Michael Kloth’s Notion workspace. Public website files do not contain participant records or private API credentials. Contact records are separated from routine analysis exports using coded participant IDs.
What may be published
Aggregate findings and methodology may be published. A participant’s name, quoted excerpts, or record in a public dataset will be included only according to that participant’s separate permission choices. A canonical article URL can identify its author, so coded IDs do not make every underlying contribution anonymous.
Withdrawal
Contributors may request withdrawal before the study’s announced analysis freeze. The response will depend on the project stage and will be documented. After aggregate publication, removing information already incorporated into statistical summaries or public quotations may not be fully possible.
Retention and access
Access is limited to the researcher and any later reviewers explicitly brought into the project. A final retention period will be stated in the consent version presented before full submission. Evidence files will not be placed in public exports by default.
Contact
Questions, corrections, or withdrawal requests can be sent to mike@michaelklothphotography.com.
The final consent text must state the retention period, analysis-freeze date, quotation policy, and withdrawal procedure. Interest-form submission is permission to contact only; it is not full study consent.
