The nature of Poets Live is to reach a public audience. Please be aware that any information that you submit whether through forms or email, including personally identi&#fb01;able information, may be publicly displayed at poets-live.com, or on websites not within our control. If you don’t want others to see such information, don’t submit it.

Forms and Content

To create new content, or register for existing content, you may be required to submit an email address and other personal information. We may publicly display the personal information. Your address may also be used to send you email bulletins, or to attribute comments or posts to you. If there are problems with your individual site, we may contact you via email as well.

If you contribute content, such as discussion comments, your contribution may be publicly displayed including personally identi&#fb01;able information. Display of visitor content is determined by the discretion of the individual content editors.

As the editor of content, you may establish a range of access restrictions to your material. The initial default settings allow outside search engines, indexes and third party sites to scan content, create hyperlinks or distribute it further via feeds. If you change these settings, there is no guarantee that outside search engines will omit your content from searches. Please check your default settings to discern the level of access the public has to your content.

Each time you update your content, it may also send pings or feeds to sites that index or track new updates. These sites may publicly display a hyperlink to your site and the time that you updated it. If your site publishes XML feeds, content from or links to your site may be publicly displayed on third party sites.

Depending on the settings on your site, email bulletins that contain content from your site may be sent out to subscribers.
