Privacy Policy for KnockOn.News

Effective Date: April 12, 2026

KnockOn.News is owned and operated by KnockOn.News LLC (“KnockOn.News,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, shared, and protected when you visit KnockOn.News, subscribe to a newsletter, complete a contact form, or otherwise interact with the site. Privacy policies for blog and publication websites should explain what personal information is collected, why it is collected, what third parties are involved, and how users can exercise privacy choices.

By accessing or using KnockOn.News, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the site.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: information you provide directly and information collected automatically through your use of the site. Privacy policy guidance for analytics, newsletter signups, and contact forms recommends identifying the categories of personal information collected and the circumstances in which they are collected.

Information you provide directly

We may collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Your name

• Your email address

• Any message or content you submit through a contact form

• Information you provide when subscribing to newsletters, alerts, waitlists, or promotional emails

• Any additional information you choose to send to us

If you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter, we may keep a record of that communication and the related contact information. Email newsletter privacy guidance emphasizes that email addresses are personal information and that privacy policies should explain collection, use, and opt-out practices.

Information collected automatically

When you use KnockOn.News, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including:

• IP address

If the site uses analytics tools, privacy guidance recommends disclosing that usage data, device data, IP addresses, and cookie-related identifiers may be collected automatically.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve KnockOn.News

Privacy guidance recommends clearly stating the purposes for collection, including communication, analytics, security, and service improvement.

Email Newsletters

If you sign up for a KnockOn.News newsletter, we may collect your email address and any related signup information you choose to provide. Privacy guidance for newsletter operators recommends explaining how signup data is used, where the policy should be linked, and how subscribers can opt out.

We use newsletter information to:

• Send requested newsletters and publication updates

You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. Best-practice guidance for newsletter privacy disclosures also recommends placing a Privacy Policy link near signup forms and making unsubscribe options easy to use.

Contact Forms

If you submit information through a contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. Contact-form privacy guidance recommends telling users what data is collected through forms and why it is used, especially when follow-up emails or processing occur.

We use contact form submissions to:

• Respond to your message

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is necessary and you are comfortable doing so.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

KnockOn.News may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to support core site functions, remember preferences, analyze site usage, and improve the user experience. Sites that use analytics or advertising-related tools are generally expected to disclose cookie use and explain how visitors can control cookies.

These technologies may be used to:

• Keep the site functioning properly

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and many browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some site features may not function as intended. Privacy guidance for analytics tools specifically recommends telling users that cookies are used and explaining their control options.

Analytics

KnockOn.News may use analytics tools, including Google Analytics or similar services, to understand how visitors use the site. Guidance for Google Analytics users states that privacy policies should disclose analytics use, cookie-based collection, how data is processed, and how users can control or opt out where applicable.

Analytics providers may collect or process information such as:

• IP address

This information helps measure readership, improve content strategy, and evaluate site performance. If Google Analytics is used, users can learn more about how Google processes data through Google’s own policies and may use browser tools or settings to control analytics activity. Guidance from privacy-policy resources specifically notes that analytics use and cookie collection should be disclosed.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party vendors and service providers to help operate KnockOn.News. Privacy policy guidance recommends naming or at least describing third-party processors, especially for email delivery, analytics, hosting, and similar operational tools.

Depending on the tools used by KnockOn.News, these providers may include:

• Website hosting providers

These providers may process personal information on our behalf for business purposes such as hosting, communications, analytics, and security. Third-party privacy guidance recommends explaining that outside providers may process categories of data including email addresses, IP addresses, browser information, and online activity data.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information for cash as part of ordinary site operations. We may share information in limited situations, such as:

• With service providers that support our website and communications

Privacy guidance for websites and blogs recommends explaining both whether data is shared and the categories of third parties involved.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the site and communications, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Privacy guidance for newsletter and blog policies recommends disclosing that personal information is not kept indefinitely and is retained according to operational or legal needs.

For example:

• Newsletter subscription data may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to legitimate recordkeeping needs

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Privacy guidance commonly recommends including a security statement while clarifying that no internet-based system can be guaranteed fully secure.

However, no website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you

Privacy-policy guidance for websites using analytics and email tools recommends telling users what choices they have and how they can contact the site owner to make a request.

To exercise any privacy rights or make a data request, please contact us using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

Children’s Privacy

KnockOn.News is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

External Links

KnockOn.News may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. If you click a third-party link, your information may be collected and processed under that third party’s own privacy practices rather than this Privacy Policy. Privacy-policy guidance for blogs recommends explaining when third-party services may govern user interactions.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site, our practices, service providers, or applicable legal requirements. Privacy guidance recommends explaining that changes may occur and that users should review the current version periodically.

When changes are made, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Your continued use of KnockOn.News after an update means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
