Privacy & about us

We protect visitors while sharing open data

Transparency matters. Below you will find short summaries about how the platform uses data, how to request deletion of server logs, and where to reach us for partnerships.

Privacy highlights

Data we process

Only public, anonymised telemetry from OpenAQ, the World Bank, and Rest Countries is processed. We do not collect personal data from visitors.

Cookies

This site relies exclusively on functional cookies needed by Next.js for caching. Analytics and behavioural tracking are disabled by default.

Security controls

APIs are accessed over HTTPS with a read-only token. Raw responses stay in volatile memory and are never stored on disk.

About the team

Air & Water Monitor is maintained by a volunteer civic tech team that collaborates with environmental agencies.

All code is open-source. You can fork it, connect different APIs, or embed the widgets in municipal dashboards.

We welcome pull requests that add more datasets, improve accessibility, or translate the UI.
