Tornado Hub is an educational weather website. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the site, how advertising and analytics technologies may work, and what choices you have.
We do not sell personal information directly. The site may use third-party advertising, analytics, affiliate, and hosting services that collect data under their own policies.
Information we may collect
- Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, referring pages, approximate location, and pages viewed.
- Voluntary messages you send through contact links or issue reports.
- Local browser data used for non-sensitive features such as article view tracking or saved preferences.
Advertising cookies and third-party ads
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising through AboutAds.info.
The site may also use non-Google ad networks, including Adsterra-related domains such as highperformanceformat.com and effectivecpmnetwork.com. Those vendors may use cookies, scripts, or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Visit the relevant vendor websites for their opt-out and privacy information when available.
Analytics and site measurement
We may use server logs, privacy-conscious counters, or analytics tools to understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical issues, and improve navigation. Article popularity features may use aggregate or local counts rather than identifying a specific person.
Affiliate links
Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click a link and buy something, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links do not change our educational safety advice.
Children and students
The site includes student-friendly weather education content, but it is not directed at collecting personal information from children. Students should use classroom and project pages with a parent, guardian, or teacher when appropriate.
