4. Story Submission Terms

Submitting a story through The Money Table does not automatically mean that your story will be selected or published.

The rights granted to The Money Table regarding submitted stories, including rights related to editing, publication, adaptation, distribution, and commercial use, are explained separately in the Story Submission Terms.

You should review and agree to those terms before submitting a story.

5. Third Party Service Providers

The Money Table may use third party service providers to operate its website, collect submissions, communicate with users, analyze website activity, or provide other business services.

For example, story submissions may be collected through Microsoft Forms. Information submitted through a third party service may also be processed according to that provider's privacy practices and policies.

We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary for them to perform services on our behalf or when required by law.

When you visit The Money Table website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our website hosting provider or other technology providers.
