Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Are We Fcked?, how that information is used, and what third parties may process data on this site.

The site is designed to present public risk data, methodology, and source-backed summaries. It is not intended to collect more personal information than is reasonably required to operate the service, protect it, and support advertising where enabled.

We may receive technical information that is commonly included in web requests, such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP, referring pages, and basic request logs. This information may be used for security, debugging, abuse prevention, performance monitoring, and aggregate traffic analysis.

If you use search, country filters, or other interactive features, the values you submit may be processed to return the requested result. We do not treat those inputs as account data because the site does not currently provide user accounts.

This site may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember consent choices, improve performance, and support advertising.

Where required by law, users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland will be shown a consent message before ad-related storage or access is used. Consent choices can affect whether advertising is personalized, limited, or not served.

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visit to this site and, where permitted, other sites on the internet.

Google may use advertising cookies to help deliver and measure ads. Depending on your region and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. More information about how Google uses data is available from Google at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Information collected through the site may be used to operate the service, maintain uptime, investigate failures, prevent abuse, improve the product, and comply with legal obligations.

We may also use aggregate, non-identifying information to understand which pages are used and whether core product features are working as expected.

The site depends on external infrastructure and data providers. Those services may process technical data such as IP address, request metadata, and browser information when pages are loaded or API requests are made.

Third-party providers may include hosting, database, caching, content delivery, error monitoring, and advertising providers. Their handling of data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We retain technical and operational data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for security, debugging, analytics, legal compliance, or business operations. No internet-facing service can promise perfect security, but reasonable administrative and technical safeguards should be used to reduce avoidable risk.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where presented, through the site's consent message. Blocking some cookies may reduce functionality or affect whether ads can be served properly.

If you are in a region with consent rights, you may be able to change your advertising and consent choices through the consent tools shown on the site.
