Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-13

EarthquakeTodayMap.com is part of the Easy Digital Tools network. This policy explains what information may be processed when you use the site, why it may be processed, and how location-based features work.

Information that may be processed

• Technical request data: Like most websites, your browser sends standard request information such as an IP address, browser headers, device information and connection metadata when loading pages or site resources.
• Usage and interaction data: Analytics may collect aggregate information such as page views, general traffic sources, approximate usage patterns and interactions with site features.
• Earthquake data: The site processes public earthquake information from external sources such as the USGS in order to generate the live map, tables, statistics and event details.
• Browser location: If you choose the “nearest earthquake” feature, your browser may ask for permission to access your current location.

How the nearest-earthquake location feature works

The nearest-earthquake tool uses browser geolocation only after you grant permission. Your coordinates are used in your browser to calculate the approximate distance to recent earthquake epicenters. EarthquakeTodayMap.com does not intentionally send those coordinates to its server as part of this distance calculation.

Location access is controlled by your browser and device. You can deny permission or revoke it later through your browser or operating-system settings.

How information is used

Technical and usage data may be used to operate the site, deliver pages correctly, diagnose errors, improve reliability, understand general usage patterns, protect against abuse and maintain site security. Public earthquake data is used to produce the map, event lists, magnitude summaries and other seismic visualizations.

Accounts and personal information

No account or sign-in is required to use EarthquakeTodayMap.com. We do not ask you to create a profile simply to view the earthquake tracker. Standard hosting, CDN or security infrastructure may still generate server logs containing technical request information.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

The site may use analytics, advertising, affiliate links or partner offers. Analytics and advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits, engagement, ad delivery or performance. Their processing is governed by their own policies and settings.

Third-party data and services

EarthquakeTodayMap.com may rely on third-party infrastructure and public data providers, including hosting, CDN, analytics, advertising and earthquake-data services. The live earthquake tracker currently uses public USGS earthquake information and may link directly to USGS event pages for additional details.

External links

The site may link to external websites, data providers or partner services. Once you leave EarthquakeTodayMap.com, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.

Data retention

We do not maintain a user-account database for this tool. Technical logs or analytics records may be retained by hosting, analytics, CDN, security or advertising providers according to their own operational and retention practices.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the site, its features or the services it uses change. The date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.
