Public Data and Emergency Decision-Support Disclaimer
Effective date: June 15, 2026
Company: Exposure Watch, Inc.
This Disclaimer is incorporated into the Exposure Watch Terms of Service.
1. Decision support only
Exposure Watch provides decision support from public and third-party data sources. It does not provide emergency response, emergency dispatch, evacuation instructions, shelter instructions, clinical guidance, resident-care instructions, regulatory compliance determinations, engineering advice, insurance advice, legal advice, or life-safety instructions.
Customers remain solely responsible for emergency plans, emergency response, resident and patient safety, staffing, facility operations, official-source monitoring, and decisions made before, during, or after a hazard event.
2. Public and third-party data limitations
Exposure Watch may use data from public, government, open-data, or third-party sources, including sources related to weather, fire, smoke, air quality, flood, storm, earthquake, public facility records, and infrastructure. These sources may be delayed, unavailable, incomplete, inaccurate, preliminary, revised, wrongly geocoded, or unsuitable for certain local, tactical, operational, or life-safety uses.
Data labels such as "critical," "high," "watch," "clear," "active," "nearest," "exposed," "detected," or similar terms are decision-support labels generated by Exposure Watch or by source data. They are not official emergency instructions and must be reviewed against source evidence and official authorities.
3. No guarantee of complete hazard detection
Exposure Watch does not guarantee that it will identify every hazard, every exposed facility, every data-feed outage, every official warning, every facility-impacting condition, or every change in urgency. A facility may be at risk even if Exposure Watch displays "clear" or does not send an alert.
4. Source evidence and timestamps
Customers must review source evidence, timestamps, precision labels, map context, and official-source links. A source timestamp may show when a data feed was fetched, published, observed, or processed. These times may differ.
5. Alerts are not guaranteed
Email, SMS, or other alerts may be delayed, blocked, filtered, incomplete, misdirected, or undelivered. Customers must maintain backup communications and must not rely on a single alert channel.
6. No agency endorsement
Use of agency names or public-source names does not imply endorsement, approval, sponsorship, certification, or affiliation with Exposure Watch. Exposure Watch is not a government agency.
7. Customer action required
Before taking action, customers should consult official sources, public authorities, emergency managers, facility emergency plans, professional staff, and applicable laws and regulations.
