Who we are

saharandust.com provides Saharan dust tracking, forecasts and air-quality information for the Atlantic, Caribbean and United States. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@saharandust.com.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address and message when you use our contact form or subscribe to the Dust Digest newsletter. Like most websites, our servers also automatically record technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure traffic and serve advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where required, through the consent banner shown on your first visit.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on those visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads) or www.aboutads.info. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we request your consent for personalised advertising through our certified consent banner before such ads are served.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This service collects standard internet log information and aggregated visitor behaviour; it does not identify you personally to us.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries, send the newsletter you requested, operate and improve the site, display relevant advertising, and keep the service secure.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email hello@saharandust.com. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in each email.

Data retention

We keep contact and newsletter data only as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations, after which it is deleted.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
