Published contributions are credited using your display preference: your first
name (the default), a screen name you pick, or your full name. You can change
the preference any time in your profile and it applies everywhere immediately.
By submitting a question or answer you agree that TrapJaw Labs may publish,
edit, adapt, and retain it, in TrapJaw Answers and in other TrapJaw Labs
materials, under a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license, with credit per
your display preference.
Because answers are edited and merged into a single curated entry that other
keepers rely on, we keep the contribution even if you later close your
account. What we will always remove on request is you: ask us and we will
take your name off the entry and unlink it from your account, leaving the
contribution anonymous. You can also change how your name appears at any time
from your profile, and it applies everywhere immediately. To have your name
removed, or to ask what we hold about you, contact us. This sits alongside the
rights described in our Privacy Policy, which are not limited by this license.
