We use essential cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. We may also use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Environment Agency API: Live flood data is fetched directly from EA servers.
  • OpenStreetMap: Map tiles are loaded from OSM servers.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data. Since we collect minimal data, there is typically no personal data to manage. Contact us at info@floodwatch.co.uk with any privacy enquiries.
