Privacy Policy
What we collect
This site collects minimal data. We do not require registration or login. We do not sell data to third parties.
Location
If you allow location access, your browser's geolocation API is used to determine your state so we can show relevant RSV activity levels. Your coordinates are used only to reverse-geocode a state code — they are not stored on our servers. The 2-letter state code may be cached in your browser's local storage so we don't need to ask again on your next visit. You can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or entering a different state manually.
Usage analytics
We may collect anonymized page visit data (state, session ID, page URL) via our Cloudflare Worker infrastructure. This data is used to understand which states drive traffic and to improve the site. No personally identifiable information is included.
Email (waitlist)
If you join the RSV alerts waitlist, your email address is stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. It is used only to send RSV season alerts when that feature launches. We do not share email addresses with third parties. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

This site uses the following third-party services:
- Google Fonts — loads Source Serif 4 and Inter typefaces. Google may log the font request.
