Privacy Notice

Braden Charles operates DisasterAtlas and is the data controller for personal data processed through it. This notice explains what we collect, why, and your rights.

Data we collect and why

• Account data (name, email, Google account ID) when you sign in with Google — to create your account and link your ad-free purchase (contract performance).
• Purchase records (transaction ID, date) — to restore your ad-free unlock on any device (contract performance, legal obligation).
• Support messages — to answer your requests (legitimate interests).
• Technical data (IP address, browser/device information, error logs) — to run, secure and improve the Service and prevent fraud (legitimate interests).
• Advertising data — if ads are shown, ad partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads (consent where required).

Card and payment details are collected directly by Paddle, not by us.

Who we share data with

• Service providers: hosting and database, authentication (Google), mapping (Google Maps), and advertising partners.
• Paddle, our Merchant of Record, for the sale of the product, payments, tax compliance and invoicing.
• Professional advisers (legal, accounting).
• Authorities where required by law.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers are protected by safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

Retention

Account and purchase data are kept while your account exists and as long as needed for tax and legal records. Technical logs are kept for a limited period. Data is deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR/UK GDPR and U.S. state laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. Email support@disaster-atlas.com; we respond within one month.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level access restrictions on account data.

Cookies and local storage

We use essential storage to keep you signed in and remember your ad-free status. Advertising partners may set marketing cookies when ads are shown. You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking essential storage may break sign-in.
