Your Privacy:
 
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
 
Intellectual property:

When you share a manuscript with BFF Editing, you can be assured that I will not share you work, words, or ideas with anyone. When consulting with other editors about a tricky grammatical situation, for instance, I will not quote your words but will make up another sentence that mimics the issue. And I use no generative AI in my analysis or editing process.
