1. Overview
CoronavirusQuestions.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at www.coronavirusquestions.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our Site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject and message content you provide. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. The form is processed by Formspree (see Section 7).
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including:
- Your IP address and general geographic location (country/region)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URL (the page you came from)
- Date and time of your visit
This data is collected through third-party services (described below) and is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site.
Email newsletter (if offered)
We do not currently collect email addresses for a newsletter. If an email signup form appears on the Site and you choose to subscribe, we collect only the email address you enter, and use it solely to send the COVID-19 updates you requested. We use double opt-in — you must confirm through a link we email you before any updates are sent — we never sell or share your address, every message includes a one-click unsubscribe, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time via our Contact page.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information collected to:
- Operate and improve the Site
- Respond to messages submitted via the contact form
- Analyze site traffic and usage patterns
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Advertising
This site does not display advertising. It remains registered with Google AdSense, so advertising could return. If that happens, this policy will be updated before any advertisement appears.
6. Affiliate Links
This site contains no affiliate links and earns nothing from product links. It remains enrolled in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, so affiliate links could return. If that happens, this policy will be updated first and every affiliate link will be disclosed where it appears.
7. Third-Party Links & Services
The Site contains links to external websites (including news sources, scientific journals, and government health agencies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Third-party services we use may include:
- Google Analytics — visit statistics (see Section 4), under Google's Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare Pages — site hosting. Cloudflare delivers every page and processes each request, including your IP address, to serve and protect the Site, under Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. The traffic reports we take from Cloudflare are daily totals (such as the number of requests, page views and unique visitors).
- Formspree — contact form processing. What you enter in the contact form is sent to Formspree, which handles it on our behalf under Formspree's Privacy Policy. The contact page loads Formspree's form script from unpkg.com, a public code-delivery network, which receives the request for that file (including your IP address) as any web server does.
We do not store personal data on servers of our own. Google Analytics, Cloudflare and Formspree keep the data they receive under the policies linked above.
8. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information only:
- With service providers who assist in operating the Site (e.g., Formspree for contact-form submissions), under confidentiality agreements
- When required by law, court order, or government authority
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of our Site, users, or the public
9. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Turn off analytics (see Section 4)
California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
EEA / UK residents (GDPR): You have additional rights including data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
