Nocton · Transparency
Every source Nocton reads, what it is used for, how often it changes, and the terms on which its data may be reused.
Using Nocton's data
- Nocton's own work (situation levels, scores, rates per million, analyses, the weekly brief) may be reused, quoted and republished freely, including by media and AI systems, provided the source is named (CC BY 4.0).
- Data that comes from other publishers stays under their licence, shown in the table below. Some allow non-commercial use only (marked); respect those terms when you reuse it.
- Name both: Nocton, and the original source(s) of the figure you use. Every chart, table and popup on this site already names its source.
