What this site keeps.

KnightTANK is a school evening at North Penn High School on Thursday, October 15, 2026. Run by North Penn FBLA, with CHIP, DECA, HOSA and TSA. The site is built and run by students in the club, with a club advisor and the school behind them.

The club is not a company. There is no separate organisation, no office and no legal department: the people responsible are students you can email at patelh2@stu.npenn.org, and their advisor at the school.

Because the evening happens on school property, the school district’s own rules apply there as well. This page covers the website and what the organisers do with what it collects.

Every field below is one somebody typed. Nothing is filled in for you, and a school is only ever the school a person stated.

Registering

A full name, an email address, and whether you are a student, a professional or a parent. A student’s school if you name one. A professional’s company and which field it is in. If you register other people in the same booking, the same for each of them.

Admission is $5 for everyone. Professionals, teachers and staff attend free. Cash only. Pay at the door on the night, or beforehand hand it to Mrs. Raschiatore in room E140 or drop it at the Business Planning Center. Nothing is paid on this website, so no card number, bank detail or payment app ever reaches it.

Putting your hand up

To judge, to sit on the panel or to help, the form asks for an email address or a phone number so that an organiser can ring you, along with your name, company, role, field and anything you typed in the box.

Entering the pitch competition

A team name, each entrant’s name, grade and email address, the school as stated, the pitch title, a short description of the problem, whether you are using slides, and a parent or guardian’s email address.

Asking for a club portal

An advisor or student leader asking to bring a chapter gives a name, an email address, the club, the school, roughly how many students, and a phone number if they choose to. An organiser confirms them by hand before the portal opens.

A pass is a name at a door. It has a pass number, a long link that nobody can guess, and what you gave when you registered. It is not an account and it holds no money.

The pass record also keeps what happens on the night:

• when it was scanned, and which organiser scanned it;
• whether the $5 was handed over, and who took it;
• the badge it carries — student, professional, teacher, staff.

A copy of the pass is also kept in this browser, so it opens at the door with no signal. That copy is yours: the list further down this page removes it from this device, and the pass itself stays valid either way.

Organisers can photograph a business card, a name badge or a paper sign-in sheet instead of typing it out. The photo is sent to a service provider outside the school that reads the printed text and sends back the fields it found.

What is saved from a card: the name, email address, phone number, company, job title, website, profile link, address and field printed on it, the photo itself, everything else the reader saw printed on it, and which organiser saved it and when. The full text is kept so that a mis-read field can be checked against the card rather than guessed at.

A contact saved this way is treated as somebody the organisers may write to about the evening, unless it is marked otherwise. Ask an organiser and the record is marked as not to be written to, or removed altogether. A card is never published on this site.

Search — the box the home page puts under “Search the site” — looks things up in this site’s own list of facts: when the evening starts, where it is, what it costs, where to pay, where you need to go. It does that by code, in your browser, as you type. Nothing you type into it is sent anywhere, to us or to anybody else, and no search is counted or written down.

Three smaller tools are different, because they have to send what you type: the one that suggests who to talk to, the one that reads a pitch back to you, and the follow-up note an organiser can draft. What you type into one of those is sent to a service provider outside the school, which checks it and writes an answer using a fixed sheet of facts about the evening.

Nothing you type into those three is stored with your name, and what you typed and what came back are not written down. What the site does keep is a counter, so that one person cannot run a tool all evening: a scrambled code made from your network address and today’s date, with a number beside it. The code is different tomorrow and cannot be turned back into an address.

A drafted follow-up is only ever shown to the organiser who asked for it. The site never sends it.

Organisers, door staff, judges, room hosts and advisors sign in to screens that visitors never see. Those screens carry other people’s names and email addresses, which is why they are behind a sign-in.

Scan history

Every scan is kept as a line in a thread: what was scanned, the answer the scanner gave, any amount taken, and the photo when a card was read. It lets the person scanning scroll back and lets a desk see what a paired phone did.

The team’s chat

Staff talk in channels to run the night. A message keeps the writer’s name and role; their email address is never sent to anyone’s browser. A message can carry a photo, which is uploaded and kept with it, or a short snapshot of a scan the sender could already see. Organisers can pin a message.

Asking for a catch-up sends the recent messages in that channel to the same service provider, which writes a short summary of them. Unlike a question, that summary is written down: it is kept in the channel as a hidden row for a couple of minutes, so that pressing the button again does not ask a second time.

Pairing a phone to a computer

A computer shows a six-character code that is good for ten minutes; a phone joins with it, and what that phone scans appears on the computer. The pairing records the two accounts and the time, and either side can end it.

The site runs on a platform called Base44, and Base44 offers the organisers two things: a count of the pages people open, and a recording of what a visit looked like on screen, with typed text and email addresses blanked out.

Both stay off until you allow them on this device. Nothing is counted and nothing is recorded before you answer, a browser that sends a Global Privacy Control signal counts as a no, and the answer is kept in this browser and nowhere else. The control is at the bottom of this page, and the “Privacy choices” link in the footer opens it again on any page.

One thing is not part of that choice: the platform gives each visitor a random number and sends it with the site’s own requests, so that registering or opening a pass works without an account. Those requests need it, and switching it off would break them. It is a random number and it carries no name.

When an organiser who is signed in opens a public page and has allowed counting, the name of the page is written to the platform’s log for the club.

The site’s own code sets no cookies. What it does keep in your browser is listed, live, at the bottom of this page.

• Registering sends your pass link to the address you gave.
• Asking for your pass again — “Email me my pass”, or looking your booking up by email — sends it, only ever to the address the pass was issued to.
• At the door, an organiser can send a pass link to another address when the person in front of them asks for it.
• Entering the pitch competition, putting your hand up to help, asking for a club portal and registering all send a note to the organisers so that a person picks it up.

That is the whole list. This site sends no newsletter and no marketing email; the mailing-list mark on a saved contact is a note for the organisers, not a sending list the site uses.

The organisers

A small group of students with accounts, and the club advisor, can see the roster, the saved contacts and the staff screens. A judge sees the room they are judging. An advisor sees the passes for the chapter they registered.

Base44

The platform the site is built and hosted on. Everything described here is stored on their systems.

The service provider

The one described above receives a photograph of a card, or the words of a question, for as long as it takes to answer, and returns the result.

The school

This is a school club’s event, so the club’s advisor and the school staff responsible for the evening can ask to see who is coming.

Nobody else. Nothing here is sold, traded or handed to anyone for advertising. A name appears publicly on this site only where the person agreed to be listed.

Registrations, passes and the record of the night are kept through the evening and the weeks after it, for thanking people, publishing results and writing the club’s report for the year. Contacts read from cards are kept by the organisers so they can follow up.

Being honest rather than tidy: there is no automatic deletion date for those records today. What there is instead is a person who will take yours out when you ask. The counters behind the helpers are the exception — each one carries an expiry and clears itself.

Whatever is in your own browser is yours to clear at any time, here or in the browser’s settings.

Most people here are students, and many are under 18. You can ask about your own record yourself, and a parent or guardian can ask on your behalf — entering the pitch competition asks for a guardian’s email address for that reason.

Write to patelh2@stu.npenn.org and ask for any of these:

• what is stored about you;
• a correction, if something is wrong;
• not to be written to again;
• your registration, pass or contact record to be removed.

An organiser is a student with classes, so allow a few days. If a request is about somebody under 18 and it is not obvious who is asking, they will check with the person or a parent first.

If this page changes, the date at the top of it changes with it.
