What the website collects

The website has no accounts, sign-up forms or newsletter and does not ask for personal data. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply.

Hosting and technical logs

The website, the marine weather pages and the public API run on Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and the technical data of the request (browser, page, time) to deliver the pages, protect them from abuse and rate-limit requests. Technical logs are kept for a few days and are not used to profile you.

Website visit statistics

We count visits to scirocco.app with PureAnalytics (pure-analytics.com). On your first visit a banner asks for consent, and nothing is tracked until you choose.

If you accept, the site stores two first-party cookies, ea_visitor_id (a random ID, 12 months) and ea_session_id (30 minutes), to recognise later visits from the same browser; your choice is kept in your browser's localStorage (ea_consent). If you decline, or tap outside the banner, no cookie is stored and the visit is counted anonymously with an ID that changes every day.

The IP address is stored without its last octet. The data is not used for advertising, not sold or shared with third parties, and not used to track you across other sites. Do Not Track is respected. To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser.

Third-party content

The maps on the weather pages load tiles from OpenFreeMap. Video thumbnails come from YouTube (i.ytimg.com), and a video loads from youtube-nocookie.com only when you start it. The app download badges load from Apple's servers. These services receive your IP address when your browser downloads their content.

Your rights

You can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, or object to its processing, by writing to simone.ruggiero97@gmail.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
