What we collect
If you request a subscription, we collect your email address, the tide stations you choose, the alert types you select, whether you opted in to the optional weekly summary, the time of your request and confirmation, and a confirmation or unsubscribe token. We may store a one-way hash of the requesting IP address for a short period to limit abuse. We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics on this site.
Why
We use that information only to send the confirmation message, event alerts at stations you chose, an optional weekly summary if you opted in, rare service notices (for example a change to the list or an outage), and to honor unsubscribe and data requests.
Consent
We use confirmed (double) opt-in. You are not added to the mailing list until you click the link in the confirmation email. You can unsubscribe at any time from the link in every message.
Sharing
We do not sell your address. We will use a transactional/marketing email provider (planned: Resend) and hosting (planned: Cloudflare Pages, Workers, and D1) solely to operate the service. We will not share your address for others’ marketing.
Retention
We keep confirmed addresses while the subscription is active. After you unsubscribe, we keep only what we need to honor the unsubscribe and prevent accidental re-adds, unless you ask us to delete what the law allows us to delete.
Not a government service
Salt Tidings is independent. It is not affiliated with NOAA or the National Weather Service. Official data sources are linked from the brief.
