FireScope Privacy Policy
FireScope is a wildfire monitoring application. It aggregates signals from public data sources (for example, satellite detections and public emergency updates) and displays them on a map to support situational awareness.
What data FireScope processes
- Public source content (e.g. public posts from official emergency pages, public RSS items, public satellite detections) strictly for wildfire-related monitoring.
- Operational telemetry (optional) such as aircraft positions (ADS-B) which are public broadcasts.
- User-submitted reports (optional) if you submit a community report via the FireScope UI (text and/or uploaded image). These can be moderated and shown on the map.
- Basic technical logs (e.g. server error logs, request timings) to keep the service reliable.
Facebook data
FireScope may read public posts from public Facebook Pages (such as official emergency services). FireScope does not use Facebook Login for end-users and does not request access to private user data.
The connector reads a limited set of fields needed for wildfire monitoring (e.g. post message text, timestamp, permalink). FireScope does not store Facebook user profiles or friend data.
How FireScope uses data
- Detect and track wildfire incidents (e.g. clustering satellite hotspots into fire events).
- Provide context about an incident (status, confidence signals, and source attribution).
- Support moderation of user-submitted community reports.
Sharing
FireScope does not sell personal data. Public-source content is displayed with its source label where applicable.
Retention
- Operational and ingestion logs are retained for a limited period for reliability and debugging.
- User-submitted reports may be retained to maintain incident history unless deleted upon request.
Your rights and requests
If you submitted a community report and want it removed, see Data deletion instructions.
