Updated the privacy notice to describe the services handling direct delivery and the shared sending limit.
Editorial note
Editorial consideration is free. Submitting does not transfer rights or guarantee publication or an individual reply.

People / places / navigation
A map of places in the published work
The Places map is now linked from the People page and the homepage. It shows locations documented in published work, not where readers live or how many people visit.

What changed
Added a direct route from People to the map and made Places easier to find from the homepage.
Kept the map grounded in locations named in the published work; it does not report audience analytics.
Editorial note
The map describes the geography of the work, not readership or visitor counts.
