Policies & Standards

Civilized Universe collects only the information you choose to send us through the forms on this website: the details you type, and the email address you give us so we can reply.

We use that information to answer you, to consider your submission for the network and to keep you informed about what you asked about. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

If you would like your details removed from our records, write to us using the email address on the contact page and we will remove them.

This website is provided as an information and communications resource. Content published here — including stories, interviews, business features and health information — is shared for general interest and is not professional, medical, legal or financial advice.

Material you submit remains yours. By sending it you give Civilized Universe permission to review it and, if we choose to publish it, to present it on this website and in our video and communications channels with attribution.

We may decline, edit for length and clarity, or remove any submission that does not meet the Community Standards below.

Civilized Universe welcomes different cultures, experiences, ideas and perspectives. Meaningful disagreement is part of meaningful conversation. Hatred is not.

No hate. No intentionally divisive content. No hostility. No destructive political fighting. We favor respect over hostility, facts over misinformation, conversation over shouting and solutions over division.

We don't expect everyone to agree. We expect people to communicate like civilized human beings.
