Weather Alerts Map does not require an account and does not ask for your name or email address.
Location
If you press "Alerts for my location", your browser asks for permission to share your location. The coordinates are sent to the National Weather Service API to find your county and to our server to find the nearest county page. We do not store them. Without permission, we may estimate your approximate area from your IP address to suggest a nearby county; this estimate is not stored either.
Hosting and logs
The site runs on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.
Analytics and advertising
We may use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used and Google AdSense to show ads. These services use cookies and similar technologies, may collect device and usage data, and may personalize ads. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services and manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings. Where required, we ask for consent before setting these cookies.
Third-party map and data requests
The live map loads alert data from api.weather.gov and map tiles from tiles.openfreemap.org directly in your browser.
