Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy describes how DarkWaters9 handles information submitted through darkwaters9.com, including LEVIATHAN observation forms, Deep Dive follow requests, waitlist forms, and normal website activity.

Information You Choose to Provide

You may provide a name, email address, location description, source link, footage link, observation details, or other material when you transmit a signal. Submissions may be stored in the site's private content-management system for review and moderation.

Automatic Site Data

The hosting platform, security tools, advertising tools, analytics services, embedded media, and browser storage may process technical data such as IP address, device and browser information, page activity, approximate location, cookies, or local preferences. Some LEVIATHAN interface settings are stored locally in your browser.

How Information Is Used

• Review, organize, verify, and respond to submitted leads.
• Operate site features, security, moderation, analytics, and advertising.
• Send follow or clearance notices you request.
• Improve the reliability and public experience of DarkWaters9.

Third-Party Services

Embedded videos, maps, fonts, analytics, advertising, email delivery, and source links may be provided by third parties with their own privacy practices. Opening an external source may allow that provider to collect data under its own policy.

Retention and Publication

Submission records may be retained while they are reviewed, researched, or needed for site operations. A lead is not automatically published. DarkWaters9 may quote, summarize, or link to submitted material only after editorial review and according to the permission attached to the submission.

Your Choices

Avoid sending highly sensitive personal information through public forms. You may request correction or deletion of information you personally submitted by using the contact route and identifying the relevant transmission as clearly as possible.

Children

DarkWaters9 is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through the public signal intake. A parent or guardian may contact the site regarding a child’s submitted information.

Changes

This notice may be updated as the website, services, vendors, and public features change. The notice above identifies the current public version.
