Privacy

Privacy, in Plain Language

The same honesty discipline we apply to climate data applies to your data: collect the minimum, say exactly what it is, and give you control.

📊 Product analytics (first-party only)

We record product usage events (for example: a page was viewed, a hazard was selected, a place was analyzed) to understand what is useful and what to build next.

  • No third-party trackers — events go only to our own API
  • No cookies for analytics — a random pseudonymous session id lives in your browser's local storage; we store only its cryptographic hash
  • No IP addresses stored in analytics
  • Coarse location only — coordinates are rounded to ~11 km before storage
  • Do Not Track honoured — with DNT enabled, nothing is sent
  • Retention — analytics events are kept at most 12 months

👤 Accounts & alerts

If you register, we store your email address and, only if you add them, your saved locations, alert rules and phone number — to provide the service you asked for.

  • Registration requires an explicit consent checkbox
  • Passwords are stored only as salted hashes
  • Phone numbers are used only for alerts you configure; SMS starts only after you verify the number yourself
  • Alert history and delivery status are kept for auditability

🚫 What we never do

  • No selling or sharing of personal data
  • No marketing email without your explicit action
  • No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting or advertising profiles
  • No collection of sensitive personal characteristics
  • No passwords, message contents or secrets in analytics

🧭 Your controls

  • Delete saved locations, alert rules and your phone number at any time in your account
  • Stop all SMS alerts with one action
  • Request account deletion by email
  • Enable Do Not Track to opt out of analytics entirely
