Read what happens to the ZIP code or location you enter, and what we never collect
Last updated October 24, 2026.
The short version
StormIncoming has no accounts, no login and no tracking cookies, and it does not run analytics scripts. We do not keep a record of the places you look up in our own database.
Location
When you enter a ZIP code or city, or choose "Use my current location", your browser sends that ZIP code, city name or coordinates to our server so we can find the alerts and conditions for the place. Your browser only shares your device location after you allow it, and you can refuse. We use the location for that request only. We do not store it in our database and we do not tie it to you.
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, keeps standard request logs (such as IP address, time and the requested address, which can include coordinates). These logs are used to run and secure the site.
Third parties your browser contacts
- Google Fonts serves our typeface. Your browser requests it from Google, which receives your IP address.
- OpenFreeMap serves the map tiles and style used on our maps, built on OpenStreetMap data. Your browser requests tiles from it, and the tiles requested show the area you are looking at.
- Official weather sources (National Weather Service, National Hurricane Center) are queried by our servers, not by your browser. Links to official pages open on their sites under their own policies.
Advertising
We do not show ads at the moment. If we add ads, ad providers may set cookies or collect data to show and measure ads. We would update this page first and ask for consent where the law requires it. Ads never appear inside or above an alert or an action list.
Children
The site is for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
