Privacy Policy

This policy explains the general privacy practices of the Knight Watch Register website. It should be read together with the privacy practices of any third-party services linked to or embedded on the site.

Information You Choose to Provide

Knight Watch Register may receive information that you voluntarily provide through email or another contact method, including your name, email address, message, attachments, and any other information you choose to send.

Information is used as reasonably necessary to review correspondence, respond to inquiries, evaluate news tips, conduct reporting, address correction requests, maintain records, protect the publication, and operate the website.

Website Hosting and Technical Data

The website is hosted using third-party infrastructure. Hosting providers and other technical services may process routine information associated with web requests, such as IP addresses, browser or device information, timestamps, requested pages, and diagnostic or security data, according to their own systems and policies.

Knight Watch Register does not promise that visiting a public website is anonymous.

Cookies and Local Storage

The Register aims to keep the site lightweight and does not intentionally require advertising-tracking cookies for ordinary reading. Some site features or third-party content may nevertheless use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies.

Third-Party Media and Links

Articles and pages may link to or embed material from third-party services, including video platforms such as YouTube or Rumble, government websites, document repositories, social platforms, or other external sources. Loading or interacting with third-party content may allow that provider to receive information about your device or visit under its own privacy policy.

A link from Knight Watch Register to an external website does not make that website part of the Register and does not place its privacy practices under the Register's control.

News Tips and Source Information

Information submitted for journalistic purposes may be retained as part of reporting notes, correspondence, source material, or the publication's records. Source information may require different handling from ordinary website correspondence.

Do not assume that ordinary email, web browsing, or routine online communication provides anonymity or end-to-end confidentiality. If source protection is important, make that concern known before transmitting sensitive information.

Public Records and Published Information

Journalistic work may involve information obtained from public records, public proceedings, interviews, direct observation, official sources, or other lawful newsgathering. The treatment and publication of that information are governed by editorial judgment and applicable law rather than solely by this website privacy policy.

Data Sharing

Knight Watch Register does not sell personal information to advertisers. Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to operate the publication, use service providers, protect rights or security, comply with valid legal obligations, or conduct journalism consistent with applicable law and source commitments.

Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably useful for reporting, correspondence, recordkeeping, legal, security, archival, or operational purposes. Journalistic notes and source materials may be retained for extended periods because they can remain relevant to continuing or future reporting.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated as the website, publishing tools, or third-party services change. The current version published on the Knight Watch Register website controls.
