Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

FireVerge collects minimal information from visitors:

• Anonymous usage analytics — page views, browser type, referring page, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is aggregated and not tied to your identity.

We do not create user accounts, store passwords, or collect payment information. We do not operate a newsletter or ask for your email address.

How We Use Information

• Understand which pages are useful so we can improve the site
• Diagnose errors and monitor site performance and availability

We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Sources on FireVerge

The fire, wildfire, and air-quality data shown on FireVerge comes from public U.S. government sources — including the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) from FEMA's U.S. Fire Administration, the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the U.S. Forest Service, the National Weather Service, EPA AirNow, and NASA FIRMS. This is public-domain data and does not identify you. See our Data Sources page for the full list.

Cookies & Local Storage

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. One localStorage key (fv-theme) remembers your light/dark theme preference on your own device — it never leaves your browser. Any analytics provider we use may set standard, non-identifying cookies as described in its own privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

FireVerge relies on a small number of third-party services:

• Cloudflare Pages — hosting, content delivery (CDN), and basic aggregate analytics
• Google Fonts — web fonts loaded from fonts.googleapis.com

Your Rights

• You can browse FireVerge without providing any personal information
• California residents: under the CCPA you may request to know what personal information we hold and ask for its deletion
• To make a privacy request, email privacy@fireverge.com

Children's Privacy

FireVerge is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
