Last Updated: March 17, 2026
Welcome to Flood Watch! This Privacy Policy describes how Flood Watch ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect various types of information to provide and improve our Service to you.
Types of Information Collected
- IP Address: We may collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This is used for security, to diagnose problems with our servers, and for general website administration.
- Browser Type and Version: Information about your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and its version helps us to ensure compatibility and optimize the display of our Service for different platforms.
- Operating System: We may collect information about the operating system of your device (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS). This helps us understand our user base and tailor our Service to common operating environments.
- Pages Visited: We collect data on the specific pages you visit within our Service, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages. This usage data helps us analyze user behavior, understand which parts of our Service are most popular, and improve navigation and content.
This information is generally collected in an aggregated and anonymized form where possible, primarily for analytical purposes to enhance the performance and user experience of Flood Watch.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Flood Watch may use "cookies" to collect information and improve our Service. We may use both session cookies (which disappear after you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them or they expire) for various purposes, including:
- To remember your preferences and settings.
- To help us understand how you use our Service and to analyze trends.
- For security purposes.
You have the option to accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Third-Party Services
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Examples of such services may include analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) or hosting providers. These third-party services have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.
Advertising
Currently, Flood Watch does not directly serve third-party advertisements or use third-party ad networks on its platform. Therefore, we do not share your collected information with advertising partners for targeted advertising purposes.
Should our advertising practices change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to reflect those changes and provide information on how users can manage their advertising preferences.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
