Nobody. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties.

The only parties with access to your data are:

• Supabase - our database and authentication provider (infrastructure only)

Both are used strictly as infrastructure providers. They process data on our behalf and do not use it for their own purposes.

We use Supabase authentication session cookies only. These are strictly necessary to keep you logged in. They contain no tracking data.

We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies.

We use Vercel Analytics for anonymous page view counts. This collects no personal data, no cookies, no IP addresses, and no device fingerprints. It is purely aggregate traffic data.

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your account and all associated data

To exercise any of these rights, email jjtdempsey@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

We retain your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, all personal data is removed. API usage logs may be retained in anonymised form for service improvement.

You can request deletion at any time by emailing jjtdempsey@gmail.com.

EmergencyAPI aggregates emergency incident data from official Australian government feeds. This data describes incidents (location, type, status) and does not contain personal information about individuals involved in those incidents.

We do not collect, store, or process any personal data about people affected by emergency incidents.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Significant changes will be posted here.
