Privacy policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026

Who runs this site

Nuclear Risk Tracker (nuclearrisktracker.com) is run by Andres Suarez, Dublin, Ireland. You can contact me at hello@nuclearrisktracker.com. I am the "controller" of any personal data described below.

The short version

You can read this site without an account. It sets no cookies, doesn't follow you around the web, and I never sell your data. If you subscribe to the newsletter, I use your email address only to send it.

What is collected, and why

Technical logs

Like every website, the servers that deliver these pages (Netlify, which hosts the site, and Cloudflare, which carries traffic to it) automatically record technical details of each request: your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it from abuse (legitimate interest, GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). These logs are kept by those providers for a limited period and aren't used to identify you.

Visitor statistics

I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits, see which pages are read and which countries visitors come from. It uses no cookies and builds no profile of you; I only see totals (legitimate interest).

If you subscribe, your email address and the language of the page you signed up on are stored by beehiiv, the service that sends the newsletter. I use them only to send it (your consent, GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops all emails. The newsletter may include clearly labelled sponsored messages or ads; your email address is not given to advertisers.

Donations

If you support the project through Ko-fi, the payment is handled by Ko-fi and its payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal). I receive only the name and message you choose to share, and never your card details.

Content loaded from other services

To display properly, pages load fonts from Google Fonts and chart code from cdnjs (run by Cloudflare). Your browser connects to them directly, so they receive your IP address. I do not send them any other information about you.

If you email me

I keep your message and address only as long as needed to reply.

Advertising

There are currently no ads on this website. If I add them (for example Google AdSense), I will update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

Where your data goes

Netlify, Cloudflare, Google and beehiiv are based in the United States. Transfers are protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, the UK or a country with similar laws, you can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data I hold about you, object to its use, ask for a copy, or withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@nuclearrisktracker.com. You can also complain to Ireland's Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie) or to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

This site is not aimed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page.
