Frequently asked questions
Before writing to us, the answer may already be on the site: all the questions from our pages' FAQs are gathered in the frequently asked questions, with a direct link to each answer.
What you can send us
Anything. No subject is off limits and there is no form to fill in. In practice, here is what arrives most often, and what we do with it.
- A question about something the site covers, or something it does not cover yet. We give neither medical nor legal advice — we are neither doctors nor lawyers — but we can point you to where to look, and your question often becomes a new page.
- A correction. The most useful message of all. An amended statute, an outdated figure, an emergency number that has changed, a typo: tell us, giving the page address and, if you can, your source. Factual corrections are dealt with first.
- A suggestion: a subject, a country to add, a section to create. A good part of what this site contains came from readers asking.
- A commercial proposal: partnership, advertising, link exchange, buying space, content syndication, buying a domain. These are welcome and will get a reply. Say who you are, what you are proposing and in what form.
- A press or interview request.
- A request about your data: access, correction, erasure, objection. It is handled within the time limits set by the applicable rules.
- A report: wrong or offensive content, a dead link, a display problem, a suspected misuse of the site's name, or a message falsely presented as coming from AffectionPlus or Affection.org.
What helps us answer quickly
- The exact address of the page, copied from the browser bar.
- What you saw and what you expected, in two sentences.
- Your source, for a factual correction: an official text beats a recollection.
- The browser and device, for a display problem.
What we do not do
We do not give individual medical opinions and we do not comment on a specific personal situation: a health question belongs with a professional who examines you, a legal question with a lawyer or notary in the country concerned. We pass no message to a third party, we introduce nobody to anybody, and we do not publish content written by someone else in exchange for a link.
If you are in distress and need help now, do not wait for our reply: emergency numbers and helplines appear on the relevant pages, and the country pages list them for every country covered.
Your data when you write to us
When you write to us, your address and your message are used only to reply to you: they are not sold, not passed on to third parties and not used to send you unsolicited messages. Messages are read and sorted with the help of an artificial intelligence assistant (Claude, by Anthropic); commercial proposals and requests about your data are passed on to the person in charge of the site. They are kept for at most three years after the last exchange. Details are in the privacy policy.
