Privacy Policy for ArrowheadWebcam.com

Effective Date: October 7, 2024  ·  Last Updated: August 29, 2026

Welcome to ArrowheadWebcam.com ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect your information.

1. Information We Collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not request or store your name, email address, or payment details. We also do not request your device location — the weather, forecast, and radar shown on this Site are fixed to Lake Arrowhead, California, and are the same for every visitor.

We do, however, use analytics and advertising services that automatically collect technical information when you visit, including your IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, referring page, and the pages you view on this Site. This data is collected in aggregate to understand how the Site is used and to serve advertising.

If you use the optional “Camera not working?” link to report a broken camera feed, we receive the camera you selected, any note you choose to write, and your browser and device type, sent to the Site operator by email. Please do not include personal information in the note — none is needed, and we do not ask for your name or email address. Your IP address is used briefly and only to limit repeat submissions; it is not included in the report and is not retained.

2. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the website.
  • To measure traffic and usage patterns through Google Analytics.
  • To enable advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.

You can control your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience with the website.

3. Third-Party Services

This Site relies on the following third-party services, each of which operates under its own privacy policy:

  • Google AdSense — serves advertising and may use cookies to personalise ads.
  • Google Analytics — measures site traffic and usage.
  • Google Weather and Google Maps — supply the forecast, nowcast, and precipitation radar.
  • Google Nest — hosts several of the embedded live camera streams.
  • Caltrans — supplies highway conditions and the traffic camera feeds.
  • YouTube — hosts embedded video content.

Embedded content from these providers may set its own cookies and collect usage data as if you had visited the provider's site directly. You can learn more about how Google uses data by visiting Google's Privacy & Terms page.

4. Your Advertising Choices

You can limit or turn off personalised advertising at any time:

Turning off personalised ads does not remove advertising from the Site; it means the ads you see will be less relevant to you. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent prompt where required, and ads are limited to non-personalised advertising unless consent is given.

5. Your California Privacy Rights

Most of our visitors are California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request that it be deleted, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of advertising cookies to serve personalised ads may be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. You can opt out using the advertising controls in Section 4 above, or by enabling a Global Privacy Control signal in a supported browser. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

6. How We Protect Your Information

We take your privacy seriously and strive to ensure the protection of all data. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers described in Section 3, who process it under their own privacy policies.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the effective date will be updated accordingly.
