Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect information when you browse Storm Chasing Wiki.
Overview
Storm Chasing Wiki is an educational, wiki-style reference. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible, use it only for legitimate site operations, and be transparent about third-party services (like analytics and embedded content).
What we collect (and why)
This section summarizes common data types a website may process. Actual collection depends on how you use the site (for example, submitting the contact form).
Information you provide
If you contact us, we may collect the information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can respond.
Basic technical data
Like most websites, our servers may log technical details (such as IP address, browser type, device information, and timestamps) to help keep the site secure and functioning.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies for essential site functionality and to understand how the site is used. Where required, we’ll request consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Analytics
If we use analytics, it may collect aggregated usage data (like pages viewed and approximate location) to help us improve content and navigation. We do not sell personal information.
Embedded content
Pages may include embedded content (for example, videos, maps, or radar tools). Embedded content from other sites may behave as if you visited that site directly and may collect data according to their policies.
Links to other sites
Our articles may link to third-party resources. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites; please review their policies.
Your choices
Cookies, preferences, and controls
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit them). If we use a cookie banner or consent tool, you can update your preferences there as well. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site features.
Details
More specific information about use, sharing, retention, security, and your rights.
How do we use your information?
We use information to operate the site, respond to messages, improve content and navigation, and maintain security (for example, preventing abuse).
Do we share or sell personal information?
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers that help us run the site (for example, hosting, spam prevention, or analytics), only as needed for those services.
How long do we keep information?
We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, security logs).
How do we protect information?
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
What about children’s privacy?
Storm Chasing Wiki is intended for a general audience. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
How can I request access or deletion?
You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you’ve provided. We may need to verify your request and may be unable to delete certain data required for security or legal compliance.
