Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

The Flood Early Warning System (FEWS) for Trinidad & Tobago is an educational and awareness application designed to provide flood alerts and disaster preparedness information. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with the app.

2. Information We Collect

FEWS is designed with privacy in mind and does not collect, store, or process personal information from users. Specifically:

• We do not collect names, email addresses, or contact information
• We do not track your location or device information
• We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
• We do not create user accounts or profiles
• We do not collect usage analytics or behavioral data

3. How We Use Information

Since we do not collect personal information, we do not use, share, or process any user data. The app functions solely to display flood alerts, weather information, and safety resources that are publicly available.

4. Third-Party Services

FEWS may display information from third-party sources such as weather services and government agencies. These sources have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

5. Push Notifications

If you opt-in to receive push notifications for flood alerts, this functionality is handled by your device's operating system (iOS or Android). We do not collect or store information about your notification preferences. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.

6. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store user data, there is no personal information at risk of unauthorized access or disclosure. All information displayed in the app comes from publicly available sources.

7. Children's Privacy

FEWS does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. The app is safe for users of all ages as it functions purely as an information display tool.

8. Educational Purpose

FEWS is provided for educational and awareness purposes only. The information provided should not be relied upon as the sole source for emergency decisions. Always follow official guidance from local authorities and emergency services during flood events or other disasters.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
