Choosing one service never turns on the others.
Choose each service separately
The weekly newsletter, location-alert emails, travel-reminder emails, browser notifications and advertising choices have separate controls. We verify email ownership before subscribing. Browser permission is requested only after you choose Enable.
Locations you choose
My outbreak watch stores up to five selected country-level locations and five trips, with destination, departure and return dates and your preferred time zone. We do not request GPS, medical history or passport details. Private watch details are encrypted in application storage and are excluded from advertising, public URLs and notification previews. Your account email remains part of the private account identity system.
Dates and coverage
Trip notices match from 30 days before departure through the return date. Past trips are removed seven days after return, or earlier when you remove them. Dated official notices require reviewed geographic coverage before matching. Missing, stale or absent notices do not mean a destination is safe. Read the full notice, affected areas and relevant official instructions; seek personal travel-health advice from a qualified professional.
Travel reminders and private push
Travel planning reminders require a separate email opt-in. They are due 30 and seven days before departure, between 08:00 and 20:00 in your chosen time zone; missed dates are not replayed. Location-alert and travel-reminder emails share a maximum of one attempt per rolling 24 hours. Browser notifications require device permission. Editorial and private-watch browser updates can each be selected and stopped independently. If you sign in, you can separately link this device to your private watch for at most one matching update per 24 hours, within the three-per-day overall device limit. Private push previews and reminder emails do not name destinations or travel dates. Removing a trip or withdrawing its channel stops future matching; delivery is not guaranteed.
Your weekly newsletter
Editors review the stories and schedule each edition. We send at most one edition per calendar week and leave at least seven days between attempts to your address. The newsletter contains local story links, source dates and reading context. Travel dates are not included. Three consecutive failed editions pause delivery until you confirm your email again.
Email and delivery
Fast Moose hosting mail processes your address and message to deliver email updates. Your browser or device provider processes push subscriptions. These providers may route data internationally. WhatsApp is not enabled; it would require its own opt-in, approved sender and privacy review. We do not use email-open pixels or tracking redirects.
Stop, remove or ask
Every newsletter, location-alert and travel-reminder email includes a scoped unsubscribe link and supported one-click withdrawal. Unsubscribing needs no account login. Manage saved places in My outbreak watch; clearing all private places requires a recent security confirmation. Turn off browser notifications on the Notifications page or in browser settings. Signed-in readers can download their data, remove their private service profile or close their reader account after a recent security confirmation. Administrator identities and public editorial records require an operator review for closure.
Retention
Unconfirmed email requests expire after 30 minutes and are removed after 24 hours. Delivery records and separate delivery-claim records, including private-watch push claims, are retained for 30 days. Completed or cancelled newsletter issues and aggregate delivery totals are retained for 90 days. Inactive, unlinked profiles with no email subscriptions are removed after 30 days. Minimal keyed erasure cutoffs are retained for up to 24 months after a private-data removal; they contain no raw email, location or travel date. A cutoff remains beyond that period if an older restored private record is still awaiting reconciliation, so retention cannot reactivate erased data. A minimal keyed consent record is retained while a subscription is active and for up to 24 months afterwards to document choices and prevent unintended resubscription; it contains no raw email or travel dates. Account, device and backup retention is explained in the Privacy Policy. Restored backups must preserve the current separate consent, device-choice, erasure and delivery-claim journals and reapply withdrawals and scheduled deletion before delivery resumes.
Hosting logs and recovery copies have separate schedules. The infrastructure provider publishes 12-week log rotation and 12-month infrastructure backup retention; those schedules do not replace the application deletion periods above. Restricted migration and rollback copies follow their recovery purpose. Restoring a copy does not restore withdrawn consent or permission to send. See the Privacy Policy for hosting, transfers and recovery details.
