Privacy concerns are central to the good stewardship of any online, non-news communication.

Luckily, most of these can be quickly resolved by answering this simple question: “Did this person give me specific, prior permission to publish this personal information?” If so, if they knowingly opted-in, and you’re golden. If not, you’re not.

An opt-out option, after the fact of being published, never meets a best practice standard. No matter what the intention.

Simple, safe, and sound. Just ask.
