Information We Collect

SafetyRecord.org does not require user registration and does not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers through the use of this site.

We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages viewed. This information is collected through server logs and analytics tools to help us understand how our site is used and to improve performance.

Cookies and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing activity.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also visit aboutads.info to opt out of third-party advertising cookies.

We also use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site. This information is used in aggregate form to improve our service.

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally and respected across sessions.

Public Records Data

The workplace safety data displayed on this site comes from publicly available U.S. government records maintained by the Department of Labor. This data is part of the public domain and is freely available from government sources. We do not collect or process personal data of individuals through our display of these records.

Third-Party Data Processors

We use the following third-party services that process visitor data on our behalf:

• Google LLC (Google Analytics) - collects anonymized site usage data including pages viewed, session duration, and approximate geographic location. Data is processed in the United States under Google's Data Processing Terms.
• Google LLC (Google AdSense) - may set cookies to serve and measure advertisements. Ad personalization can be disabled via Google Ads Settings.
• Cloudflare, Inc. - provides DNS, CDN, and security services. Cloudflare processes request metadata (IP address, headers) to route and protect traffic.

We do not sell or share personal information with any other third parties.

Data Retention

We retain different categories of data for different periods:

• Server access logs (IP addresses, request URLs, timestamps) - retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted.

Our site contains links to other websites, including osha.gov and other government resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Because we do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising purposes beyond the use of standard advertising cookies (which you can opt out of as described above), most CCPA/CPRA rights do not apply to your use of this site.

This site is primarily intended for users in the United States. If you access this site from the European Union or other jurisdictions with data protection laws, please be aware that by using this site you consent to the transfer of your browsing data to the United States, where it is processed by our analytics providers as described above.
