Privacy Policy

What we collect

AuroraSee doesn’t require an account, and we don’t collect your name or email address to use the site.

If you turn on storm alerts, your browser generates a push subscription (a device endpoint and two encryption keys) which we store so we can deliver that alert. It isn’t linked to your name, email or any other identity, only the device and browser that subscribed.

Like any website, our hosting provider logs standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance.

We use Google Analytics to see aggregate traffic patterns, which pages get visited and roughly where from. It sets its own cookies and collects your IP address, browser and device type, and pages viewed. We don’t use it to identify you individually. See Google’s privacy policy for how it handles that data.

How we use it

Push subscription data is used for exactly one thing: sending a storm alert when conditions cross our published thresholds (Kaus index of 5 or higher, Bz sustained below −10 nT, or a live BOM aurora alert). We don’t sell, share or use it for advertising.

Live data from third parties

Tonight’s verdict is built from public space-weather data pulled from NOAA, NASA, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and Open-Meteo. That data is about the sky, not about you, none of it identifies you as a visitor.

Advertising

We don’t currently run ads. If we introduce advertising or affiliate links in future (for example Google AdSense), those providers may set their own cookies, and we’ll update this page first.

Your choices

You can revoke storm-alert permission at any time in your browser or device’s notification settings, we’ll stop sending pushes to a revoked subscription immediately and remove it automatically the next time we try.

To ask what data we hold about a subscription or to have it deleted sooner, contact us at support@sysridge.com.au.
