Terms of use

What this site is

Outbreak Signal is an independent information aggregator that summarizes public-health outbreak information from official agencies (WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO, national ministries) and reputable secondary reporting. It is not affiliated with any government agency.

Informational use only

The content here is for general information. It is not medical advice, not emergency advice, and not a substitute for consulting a qualified healthcare provider or your local public-health authority. Do not act on the content here as if it were professional advice.

See the full Disclaimer for details.

Acceptable use

• • Read the site, share links to it, and cite specific pages with attribution.
• • Do not scrape the site at high volume, attempt to disrupt its operation, or bypass any rate limits.
• • Do not republish substantial portions of the content without attribution and a link back to the original page.
• •Do not present Outbreak Signal's summaries as if they were the original agency's statement. Always link out to the cited Tier 1 source for the authoritative version.

No warranty

The content on Outbreak Signal is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. Public-health information changes; we work to keep the cited sources fresh, but the official agency's page is always the authoritative source. We are not liable for actions taken based on information found here.

Changes to these terms

As the project moves through its phases (newsletter, push, monetization, broader disease coverage), these terms will be updated. Material changes will be noted on this page with a dated note.
