Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Nightwatch News is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a reader or subscriber.
Information We Collect
Newsletter subscribers: We collect your email address and, optionally, your name when you sign up for our newsletter. This information is used solely to send you the Nightwatch News briefing.
Contact form submissions: When you contact us via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This is used only to respond to your enquiry.
Analytics data: If you accept the cookie consent banner, we collect anonymised data about how you interact with the site — pages visited, links and buttons clicked, time on site, and referral source. This data is collected via the GoDaddy platform analytics service (C2) and is not linked to any individual. If you decline, no analytics data is collected.
How We Use Your Information
We use your email address to send the newsletter you subscribed to. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We use contact form data solely to respond to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
We use anonymised, aggregated analytics data to understand our audience and improve the site. This data cannot be used to identify you.
Cookies
Nightwatch News uses two types of cookies: essential cookies required for the site to function (such as remembering your saved articles and cookie consent preference), and analytics cookies that collect anonymised data about how you use the site.
Analytics cookies are only set if you click Accept on the cookie consent banner. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or social media pixels. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.
You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, such as saved article bookmarks.
Third-Party Services
We use GoDaddy Inbox to manage contact form submissions and newsletter signups. Your data is processed in accordance with GoDaddy's privacy policy.
Analytics data is collected via the GoDaddy platform analytics service (C2 / Signals). This service is consent-gated: no analytics data is sent until you accept the cookie banner.
We do not embed third-party advertising trackers, social media pixels, or cross-site tracking scripts.
Data Retention
Newsletter subscriber data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months for correspondence purposes, then deleted.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
