This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected across the application platform located at outbreaktracker.net in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). By accessing or using the platform, you agree to the privacy practices outlined herein.
outbreaktracker.net, its owners, operators, parent entities, directors, board members, investors, developers, and employees are committed to protecting personal privacy. A designated administrative contact maintains compliance with PIPEDA principles and applicable privacy standards across all server operations.
The platform collects limited non-sensitive information strictly to ensure system integrity, manage server performance, analyze aggregated traffic trends, and prevent unauthorized automation or network misuse.
By accessing outbreaktracker.net, you provide implied consent to the collection and processing of standard technical server interaction data as described in this policy. Where explicit personal interaction is required, clear consent mechanisms will be provided.
We strictly limit data collection to the minimal technical metrics necessary to deliver platform visualization tools. We do not collect, store, or profile identifiable personal health information (PHI) of platform users or members of the public.
Technical access metrics are utilized solely for server administration, cyber-security diagnostics, and platform maintenance. Technical log records are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill operational security functions or as required by law.
All outbreak metrics and mapping visualizations displayed on outbreaktracker.net are derived from publicly available data provided by official health agencies (e.g., WHO, CDC, ECDC). The platform does not generate primary health records.
Reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security safeguards—including encryption protocol and restricted database environments—are deployed to protect system data against loss, unauthorized access, copying, or misuse.
This policy is publicly available across outbreaktracker.net to provide full transparency regarding our data management practices. Users may request information regarding our privacy handling standards at any time.
outbreaktracker.net may utilize basic session cookies or technical header logs (such as IP addresses, browser profiles, and interaction timestamps) exclusively to optimize system responsiveness, maintain visual layout preferences, and protect against automated scraping attacks.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or commercially lease user usage metrics or server logs to third parties. Technical information may only be disclosed if explicitly mandated by court orders or statutory legal obligations within Canada.
outbreaktracker.net is intended for general public informative and educational use. We do not knowingly collect, request, or retain personal information from children under the age of 13.
This Privacy Policy and all related data practices shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, including PIPEDA.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect operational, technical, or legal changes. Continued access to outbreaktracker.net following posted adjustments constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
