Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains, in general terms, how AirQualityIndex.org may process information when you use the website. The exact technologies used can change as the site, hosting, analytics, advertising and embedded services evolve.

Information you provide

If you contact us, submit a form, comment, subscribe to a service or otherwise provide information voluntarily, we may receive the information you submit, such as your name, email address and message. Do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

Technical and usage information

Like most websites, our hosting, security, analytics and advertising systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, timestamps and cookie or similar identifiers. Server logs may be retained for security, diagnostics and performance.

Location features

Features such as Air Quality Near Me may request browser geolocation only when you choose to use them and your browser/device grants permission. Browser geolocation permissions are controlled by you through your browser or device settings. Approximate location may also be inferred by third-party services from network information.

Cookies, advertising and analytics

AirQualityIndex.org may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, security, analytics and advertising. Third-party advertising services, including Google advertising products where enabled, may use cookies or other identifiers in accordance with their own policies and applicable consent requirements.

Advertising helps fund the website. Ads are supplied by third parties and should not be interpreted as an endorsement by AirQualityIndex.org.

Third-party services and links

The site relies on or links to third-party services, including data providers, hosting, analytics, advertising, mapping, research and external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. AirQualityIndex.org does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

Data retention, security and your choices

Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, operational requirements, security, dispute resolution and legal obligations. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. You can control cookies through browser settings and applicable consent tools, revoke browser geolocation permissions, and contact us regarding privacy questions or requests that apply under relevant law.

Children

AirQualityIndex.org is a general-information service and is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us.
