Private intake
You decide whether to identify yourself, whether Out ORU may contact you, and whether a future publication conversation happens at all. Contact permission is never publication permission.
Content note: This page explains privacy limits and the risks of sharing sensitive experiences. It does not currently ask you to recount them.
Choose the relationship
A person can make private contact without submitting a story. An anonymous research submission can remain anonymous. Neither path creates permission to publish.
PATH 01
Ask a question, flag a record, or open a private conversation without submitting testimony or granting publication rights.
PATH 02
Share information for private moderation with name and contact left blank. Publication choices remain off.
Safe development state
A reviewed moderation backend, access controls, encryption, retention jobs, abuse controls, and a private withdrawal system are not configured yet. For that reason, this site does not let anyone type, transmit, or store testimony.
Plain-language limits
Out ORU will minimize what it collects and restrict who can access it, but it will not promise perfect anonymity or absolute deletion. Legal process, a security incident, screenshots, or details within a story can create risk.
Out ORU is not an emergency service, legal representative, therapist, or mandated confidential provider. A future live form must explain its retention period and legal-process response before accepting material.
Testimony will not be used for advertising, session replay, analytics, confirmation emails, or model training without a separate, explicit choice.
Withdrawal
A live intake will issue a non-identifying reference code. That code can be used to request deletion before publication, narrow contact permission, or begin a published-story withdrawal.
