Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

Ebola Tracker is operated by Yoni Binstock as an independent, public-interest project. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use this site or sign up for the Country Watch alert service.

Information We Collect

Visitors (no account)

No personal data is collected. The site uses Vercel Analytics, which collects anonymous, aggregated traffic data (page views, referrers, country-level geography) with no personally identifiable information and no persistent tracking cookies.

Country Watch subscribers

When you sign up for Country Watch alerts, we collect:

  • Your email address (used for authentication and sending alerts)
  • Countries you choose to monitor
  • Stripe payment information (processed and stored by Stripe — we never store card details)
  • Alert delivery history (which alerts were sent to your account)

How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate you via email verification code (no password stored)
  • To send alert emails when Ebola is confirmed in a country you are monitoring
  • To process and manage your subscription through Stripe
  • To respond to support inquiries sent to ybinstock@gmail.com

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails.

Data Storage and Infrastructure

Account and subscription data is stored in Supabase, a managed PostgreSQL database service. Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth. Payment processing and billing data is managed by Stripe. The site is hosted on Vercel.

All services process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection law.

Email and Alert Notifications

Alert emails are sent via Resend, a transactional email service. You will only receive alert emails for countries you have explicitly added to your watch list. You can remove countries at any time from your Country Watch dashboard. Cancelling your subscription stops future alerts and billing.

Your Rights

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by emailing ybinstock@gmail.com. We will action deletion requests within 30 days.

Informational Purpose Only

Ebola Tracker and its alert service are intended for informational purposes only. Alerts are derived from publicly available data and are not a substitute for official public health guidance. See our full disclaimer on the About page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to active subscribers. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
