Privacy Policy

Data We Collect

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, and referring URLs (standard web server logs).
• Communication data: If you email us or submit a form, we receive the content you provide (e.g., name, email, message).
• Cookies/Local Storage: Small files your browser may store to remember preferences (see Cookies below).

How We Use Data

• Operate & secure the site (load pages, prevent abuse/fraud).
• Improve content (understand what guides are helpful).
• Respond to messages you send via email or forms.
• Compliance with law, legal process, or enforce site policies.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use local storage to remember theme, checklist progress, and your analytics choice. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies only after you select “Allow analytics.”

Do Not Track: We do not alter our practices when a browser sends a Do Not Track signal. You can control cookies via your browser settings.

Analytics

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate visits, referral sources, pages viewed, approximate geography, device/browser information, and interactions such as printing the 72-hour checklist. Google Analytics remains off unless you accept the analytics prompt.

Google may process technical identifiers under its own terms. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can change your choice at any time using Analytics choices in the site footer. You can also clear site data in your browser.

Location & Weather Alerts

The Field Conditions page does not request location automatically. If you select “Use my current location,” your browser asks for permission and provides coordinates for that lookup. You may instead enter coordinates manually.

The coordinates are sent directly from your browser to the National Weather Service API to retrieve point forecasts, hourly weather, active alerts, and a state abbreviation, and to the U.S. Geological Survey API to retrieve nearby earthquake records. The state abbreviation—not precise coordinates—is sent to OpenFEMA to retrieve recent declarations. Survival Nexus does not store the coordinates or state in local storage or maintain its own copy. These agencies and site-hosting providers may receive ordinary request information under their respective policies.

Affiliate Links

We may participate in affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates, AvantLink). When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may use a cookie or tracking parameter to attribute any purchase to our site. We do not receive personal information about you from affiliate networks—only aggregated reports (e.g., item/category and commission).

See also our Affiliate Disclosure for full affiliate disclosure and review standards.

When We Share Data

• Service providers: If used, only to operate the site (e.g., hosting) under confidentiality agreements.
• Legal reasons: To comply with law, regulation, or valid legal request; to protect rights, safety, or property.
• Business changes: If we reorganize or transfer the site, data may transfer subject to this policy.

Data Retention

We keep server logs for a limited period for security and diagnostics. If you contact us, we retain messages as long as needed to respond and maintain records, then delete when no longer necessary.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use caution when sharing sensitive information online.

Your Rights & Choices

Your privacy rights depend on your location. Where applicable (e.g., California/EEA), you may request to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold, or object to/limit certain processing.

• Access/Correction/Deletion: Contact us and we’ll assist when we can verify your request.
• Opt-out of marketing: We don’t send marketing email by default; if we ever do, you’ll have an unsubscribe option.
• Cookies: Control or delete via your browser settings.
• Analytics: Decline the initial prompt or reopen “Analytics choices” in the footer.

We do not sell personal information. We do not knowingly process sensitive categories.

Children

This site is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our site or laws change. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision.
