Privacy Policy & Disclaimer

Information you choose to share

When you request our newsletter, we save your email address, subscription status and the time you gave consent. A new request is recorded as pending; the confirmation on screen means your request was saved, not that a newsletter has already been sent.

Contact and advertising forms save your name, email, subject, message, inquiry type and submission time, together with the phone number, business name and advertising interests you provide. We use these details to review and respond to your inquiry, assess advertising requests and limit repeated submissions. Advertising records may also include business contact details, campaign dates and supplied artwork.

News tips, corrections, event details, classifieds and other material you voluntarily send may contain personal information. Share only information you are entitled to provide, and avoid unnecessary sensitive details. Material intended for publication may be made public following editorial review; published classifieds can include the supplied contact information.

Browser information, cookies and view counts

Your browser sends technical information when it requests a page or media file. Our hosting and delivery providers may process IP addresses, browser or device information, request addresses and times, and diagnostic or security information to deliver and protect the service.

Karow268 uses short-lived first-party cookies, currently set to expire after 30 minutes, and browser session storage to reduce repeated article and video-page view counts. Article counts measure visible story visits; video counts measure visits to a video page and do not certify that a video was played or watched to completion. The counters store totals rather than a named reader history.

Administrative sign-in uses separate session cookies. Embedded media and external services may handle browser information or use storage under their own policies. You can manage cookies and site storage through your browser; blocking them may affect sign-in, embedded content or measurement.

Advertising and audience measurement

Our advertising system records an identifier for each ad delivery, the ad served and its delivery time. It records an impression when the ad meets the site’s visibility threshold and a click when its tracked link is used. These records support campaign reporting and help us understand use of advertising space. The current ad measurement records do not contain your name, email address or IP address.

An advertiser’s website receives its own request when you follow an ad link and may collect information separately. Its privacy policy applies there. Article, video and advertising counts are approximate activity measures, not verified counts of individual people.

How information is used and shared

Information is used to operate the site, manage newsletter requests, respond to messages, review submitted material, administer advertising, measure activity and investigate technical problems or misuse. Information may also be used or disclosed where reasonably necessary to meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests or protect rights and safety.

Hosting, database and media-delivery services process information needed to operate Karow268. The site uses Cloudflare infrastructure. Processing may take place outside Antigua & Barbuda. Information submitted for publication is distinct from private inquiry details: contact details are not automatically published merely because you use the contact form.

Retention and security

Newsletter and inquiry records are stored for team review and administration. The current site does not apply an automatic deletion period to these records or to ad measurement records; the expiry of a browser cookie does not delete database records. Contact us to request a review of information we hold about you.

The site uses access controls for administration and validation of form submissions. No website, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Retention or removal may depend on the purpose of the record, an ongoing inquiry, publication interests and applicable legal requirements; we do not promise immediate deletion of every record or published item.

Third-party services and links

Stories and other pages may link to external websites or include embedded video, including YouTube. Loading or interacting with third-party content can transmit technical information to that provider. Their practices and controls are governed by their own policies, and Karow268 does not control those services. Review the relevant provider’s policy before sharing information or using its services.

Children’s privacy

Karow268 is a general news and community website, not a service designed to collect personal information from children. Children should involve a parent or guardian before submitting personal details. If you believe a child has provided information that should not be retained or published, contact us with enough detail to identify it so we can review the matter.

Your choices and privacy contact

You can browse without submitting a newsletter request or inquiry, and you can manage cookies and session storage in your browser. To withdraw a newsletter request, ask to stop receiving newsletters, request access to or correction or deletion of information, or raise a privacy concern, use our Contact page. State that your message concerns privacy and include the email address or record involved; do not send passwords or unnecessary identity documents.

We may need to verify a request before changing or disclosing information. Requests are considered in light of applicable law, record-keeping needs and legitimate editorial interests. Changes to this page will be reflected in the Last Updated date.

News, editorial content and professional advice

Karow268 publishes news, entertainment, lifestyle, business and community information relating to Antigua & Barbuda and beyond. Content is provided for general information. It is not personalised legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Seek qualified advice appropriate to your circumstances before making decisions that require it.

Developing stories, accuracy and corrections

Reporting reflects the information available at the time of publication. Developing stories can change as new facts emerge, and earlier reports may not include later developments. Although care is taken in preparing content, errors, omissions or delays can occur; we cannot guarantee that every item is complete, current or free of error.

To report an error or request a correction, use our Contact page and include the story link, the disputed detail and supporting information. Correction requests are subject to editorial review. A publication date, update or correction should be considered when relying on a report.

Allegations, quotations and opinions

Reports may describe allegations, official statements, court proceedings, interviews or information supplied by third parties. An allegation is not a finding of fact or proof of wrongdoing, and an accused person is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty according to law. Attributed statements and quotations represent their source’s account and do not, by themselves, establish the truth of every assertion.

Opinion and commentary reflect the views expressed by their authors or contributors and do not necessarily represent Karow268’s views. Reporting or quoting a view does not mean that Karow268 endorses it.

Advertising, sponsorship and editorial independence

Advertisements and sponsored material are commercial content and should be understood separately from independent reporting. An ad’s appearance is not a guarantee or endorsement of an advertiser, product, service or claim. Advertising arrangements do not entitle an advertiser to favourable editorial coverage.

Check an advertiser’s claims, terms, prices and suitability directly before buying. Any transaction with an advertiser is subject to the terms agreed with that advertiser. Questions about advertising with Karow268 can be sent through our Advertise page.

Classifieds and events

Classified listings and event notices may rely on information supplied by sellers, organisers or other contributors. Prices, availability, dates, venues and descriptions can change. Publication does not verify ownership, quality, safety or the reliability of a seller or organiser. Confirm details directly, exercise appropriate care before paying or sharing information, and check cancellation or refund terms.

Submitted tips, images and other material

Sending a tip or other material does not guarantee publication, a response or payment. Submissions may be reviewed and edited for accuracy, clarity, relevance and length. Please provide truthful information and only share material you have the right to supply, respecting other people’s privacy and rights.

Do not assume the ordinary contact form is a secure or confidential source-reporting channel. If confidentiality is important, ask the team about suitable arrangements before sending sensitive material.

External links and availability

Links and embedded content are provided for reference or convenience. Third-party pages can change or become unavailable, and their inclusion does not imply endorsement of all their content. Karow268 does not control their accuracy, security, accessibility or practices.

We aim to keep Karow268 available, but access, media playback, forms and other features may be interrupted by maintenance, technical faults or events beyond our reasonable control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

Responsibility and limits

Please consider the source, publication date and context of information before relying on it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Karow268’s responsibility for loss arising from use of this website is limited to loss for which we are legally responsible; we do not accept responsibility for indirect or consequential losses arising from reliance on general information, third-party transactions or service interruptions.

Nothing on this page excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, removes rights you have under applicable law, or excuses unlawful conduct. Concerns about our reporting, services or this page can be raised through our Contact page.
