Our goal is to provide you with a personalized online experience that provides you with the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. This Privacy Policy has been written to describe the conditions under which this web site is being made available to you. The Privacy Policy discusses, among other things, how data obtained during your visit to this web site may be collected and used. We strongly recommend that you read the Privacy Policy carefully.

The process of maintaining a web site is an evolving one, and the Operators may decide at some point in the future, without advance notice, to modify the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Sites Covered by this Privacy Policy This Privacy Policy applies to all the Operators-maintained web sites, domains, information portals, and registries, including driveweather.com and driveweatherapp.com.

Children's Privacy

The Operators are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. The Operators do not intentionally collect information from minors, and the Operators do not target its web site to children.

Links to Non-Operators Web Sites

The Operators's web sites may provide links to third-party web sites for the convenience of our users. If you access those links, you will leave the Operators's web site. The Operators do not control these third-party websites and cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any web site before submitting personal information.

Types of Information We Collect

Non-Personal Information: usage and service-operation data not directly tied to a specific personal identity — referral data, pages viewed, time on site, and IP address, used to create aggregate reports on traffic patterns and for system administration. Log Files: every request may be recorded (with IP address) in a log file, used to analyze trends, administer the web site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link non-personal information to personally identifiable information without your permission. Personal Information: information associated with your name or identity, such as an email address you provide us directly (for example, through a support request).

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This site (driveweather.com) uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the map is used — page views, feature usage, and aggregate traffic patterns. Google Analytics sets cookies and may collect your IP address, browser type and language, device information, and the date/time and referrer of your request, in accordance with Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. We do not use Google Analytics (or any other analytics or advertising service) for cross-site ad targeting or remarketing, and we do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for their own advertising purposes.

Separately, this site stores a small amount of information directly in your browser (localStorage, not a cookie) purely for basic functionality — for example, an anonymous per-browser identifier used only to distinguish unique from returning searches in our own aggregate stats, and simple UI preferences like whether you've dismissed a tip or the app-install banner. This local storage is strictly necessary for the site to work as intended and is not used for advertising, is never sold, and is never shared with third parties.

You choose whether analytics cookies are allowed via the cookie banner shown on your first visit, or anytime afterward via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of this page and the main map page. Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland get an opt-in default (analytics stays off until you accept); everyone else gets an opt-out default (analytics on by default, with an equally clear "Reject" option). You can also control cookies at the browser level — most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies from their settings/help menu; blocking all cookies may affect some site functionality.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA) California residents' personal information to third parties. California residents may still direct us not to use analytics cookies for their visit using the Cookie Settings control described above.

How We Use Your Information

The Operators may use non-personal, aggregated data for reporting about web site usability, performance, and effectiveness, and to improve the experience, usability, and content of the site.

Information Sharing

The Operators do not sell, rent, or lease any individual's personal information or lists of email addresses or contact information to anyone. The website and the Drive Weather app do not collect any personal identifying information beyond what's described above. We collect anonymous usage and error tracking data. The Operators reserve the right to supply such information to any organization into which the Operators may merge in the future or to which it may make any transfer in order to enable a third party to continue part or all of its mission. We also reserve the right to release information to protect our systems or business, when we reasonably believe you to be in violation of our Terms of Use or if we reasonably believe you to have initiated or participated in any illegal activity, and where obligated by judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or other orders. If you are located within the European Union, you should note that your information may be transferred to the United States; we rely on your consent (for analytics) and legitimate interest (for the strictly-necessary storage described above) as our bases for this processing.

Security

The Operators make every effort to protect information by users of the web site, including using firewalls and other security measures on its servers. No server, however, is 100% secure, and you should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential information about yourself on any web site, including this one. The Operators assume no liability for the interception, alteration, or misuse of the information you provide.

Opting Out

From time to time the Operators may email you electronic newsletters, announcements, surveys or other information. If you prefer not to receive any or all of these communications, you may opt out by following the directions provided within the electronic newsletters and announcements.
