Derivative Data

Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site.

Mobile Device Data

If you access the Site from a mobile device, we may collect device information, such as your mobile device ID, model, and manufacturer, and information about the location of your device, if you permit us to do so to provide localized wildfire risk data.

2. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information about you allows us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site to:

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties. We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations, including:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others.

• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, such as email delivery services, website hosting providers, or data analytics companies.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but please be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site.

5. Third-Party Websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including local emergency services, utility companies (such as SCE or SDG&E), and government fire agencies (CAL FIRE). Once you use these links to leave the Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

6. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

7. California Privacy Rights (CalOPPA)

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there is currently no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information from our files immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this 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 “Effective Date” at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
