Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how this website handles information when you browse our hantavirus tracker, read health-awareness content, use interactive page elements, or click external links.

Our website is designed to provide educational information about hantavirus routes, timelines, risk levels, symptoms, testing awareness, prevention, and public updates. We do not operate as a medical provider, diagnostic service, emergency platform, laboratory, or public health authority.

By continuing to use this website, you accept the practices described below.

1. Information Collected During Your Visit

When you visit the website, some basic information may be collected automatically to help the site load correctly, remain secure, and improve the reader experience.

This may include:

  • browser type and version;
  • device type and screen size;
  • operating system;
  • approximate region or country;
  • pages opened during your visit;
  • time spent on specific sections;
  • referring website or search engine;
  • technical logs related to security and performance;
  • cookie identifiers, where cookies are enabled.

This information is generally technical and usage-based. It helps us understand how people use the site and where improvements may be needed.

2. Information You Choose to Send

If the website includes a contact form or email option, you may choose to send information such as your name, email address, subject line, and message.

Please do not send private medical records, laboratory reports, diagnosis documents, insurance details, emergency symptoms, or sensitive personal health information through this website. We are not able to evaluate medical cases or provide personal medical advice.

If you believe you may have a hantavirus infection or another urgent health issue, contact a qualified healthcare provider or emergency service.

3. Interactive Features and Quizzes

The website may include awareness quizzes, risk-level prompts, checklists, map-related tools, or similar interactive content.

These features are created for educational use only. They may help readers understand general risk factors, but they do not diagnose illness, measure exact exposure, or replace medical testing.

Depending on the website setup, quiz interactions may be processed locally in your browser or measured in an aggregated way to understand page engagement. We do not ask users to submit medical records through these tools.

4. How Information May Be Used

Collected information may be used for purposes such as:

  • keeping the website functional and secure;
  • improving page speed, layout, and navigation;
  • understanding which sections are most useful;
  • fixing errors or broken pages;
  • preventing spam, abuse, or unauthorized activity;
  • responding to messages sent by visitors;
  • measuring traffic and content performance;
  • managing advertising or sponsored placements;
  • complying with lawful requests where required.

We do not use visitor data to provide personal medical decisions or individual treatment recommendations.

5. Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functions, analytics, security, advertising measurement, or user preferences.

Cookies may help us understand:

  • which pages are visited most often;
  • whether users return to the site;
  • how visitors move between pages;
  • whether sponsored blocks or external links are clicked;
  • whether technical issues affect specific devices.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. You may delete, block, or restrict cookies at any time. Some site features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.

6. Analytics and Performance Measurement

Analytics tools may be used to measure website performance and visitor behavior. This helps us improve the structure of our tracker pages, timelines, maps, FAQ sections, and educational content.

Analytics data is usually reviewed in an aggregated form. We are interested in how the site performs as a whole, not in identifying individual readers.

7. Sponsored Content and External Offers

Some pages may include sponsored blocks, advertising placements, affiliate links, or external offers. These are separate from the educational health content.

If you click an advertisement or sponsored gaming offer, you may leave this website and visit a third-party platform. That third party may collect data according to its own privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of use.

We do not control third-party websites, payment systems, gaming platforms, tracking technologies, or account registration processes.

8. Health-Related Content Notice

This website discusses health topics, including hantavirus symptoms, exposure risks, testing awareness, and prevention. However, we do not intentionally collect private health data from visitors.

The content on this website is for general awareness only. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care. If you have symptoms after possible rodent exposure, seek help from a healthcare professional.

9. When Information May Be Shared

We may share limited information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate the website. These may include hosting services, analytics providers, security tools, advertising systems, or technical support services.

Information may also be disclosed if required by law, legal process, security investigation, fraud prevention, or protection of the website and its users.

We do not sell personal messages submitted through the website.

10. Data Storage and Retention

Technical logs, analytics data, and contact messages may be stored for different periods depending on operational, security, legal, or administrative needs.

We aim to keep identifiable information only for as long as reasonably necessary. Aggregated or anonymized data may be kept longer because it does not directly identify individual visitors.

11. Security Measures

We use reasonable security measures to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, data loss, or disruption. These may include hosting protections, security monitoring, spam prevention, and access controls.

No online service can guarantee complete security. By using this website, you understand that internet communication always carries some risk.

12. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent where applicable.

You may also control cookies through your browser or device settings.

To make a privacy-related request, use the contact option available on the website. We may need to verify your request before taking action.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information through the site, they may contact us so the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

14. Links to Other Websites

Our pages may link to public health resources, news articles, reference sources, advertisers, gaming platforms, or other third-party websites.

Once you leave this website, we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or data handling of external websites.
