Trust and data handling
Privacy.
A plain-language explanation of what the October pilot collects, where information goes, and what Pulpit & Knot does not store.
Newsletter subscriptions
When the newsletter form is connected, an email address is submitted directly to Kit for subscription management and confirmation. Pulpit & Knot does not separately store newsletter addresses in the website’s database. Kit processes subscriber information under its own privacy terms.
Campaign information
The site keeps campaign parameters, such as UTM source, medium, campaign, content, and term values, in this browser tab’s sessionStorage so a later signup can retain its source. They are submitted directly to Kit with the signup, along with a placement such as homepage-top, october-page, or footer. Email addresses are never stored in sessionStorage.
Match corrections and contact
The correction form privately stores the page or speaker, the visitor’s explanation, an optional replacement link, and an optional contact email. Submissions are available only in the site owner’s signed-in correction inbox and are never posted as public reviews. The owner uses this information to evaluate and improve tie recommendations.
Website measurement
We count visible page views and clicks on shopping links to improve this guide. Our measurement database stores only daily totals grouped by public page, tie, retailer hostname and broad source category. It does not store visitor identifiers, IP addresses, email addresses, full referring URLs or query strings. Hosting providers still process network requests under their own policies. Counts are not unique visitors and may include unidentified automation.
Measurement uses no tracking cookies or visitor fingerprint. Reports cover up to 90 days; older aggregate counts are deleted when new events arrive. Known automated checks, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are excluded. You can exclude this browser or enable measurement again. This choice is stored locally in your browser; it is not a visitor identifier.
Retailers and external sites
Shopping, conference-source, and other external links lead to independently operated websites. Those sites may collect information or use cookies under their own policies. Pulpit & Knot does not control their data practices.
Your choices
Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe using the link in any email. Questions about this privacy notice can be sent through the contact page.
