Privacy policy

Last updated 6 November 2026

OpenVSafe is a project of OpenVAERS. This page explains what happens to information about you when you visit the site. You don't need an account to use OpenVSafe, and we don't ask for your name, email address or any other personal details.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they use. It sets cookies in your browser and tells Google:

Your searches and the records you open stay out of it. Before anything is sent to Google, we remove your search words and filters, and registrant codes. Google can see that a search or a registrant page was viewed, but not what was searched or which person's record it was.

Google handles this information under its own privacy policy. To opt out, you can block cookies in your browser or install Google's opt-out add-on.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting server records requests to the site, including your IP address, the page you asked for and your browser. We use these logs to keep the site running and secure. The site also uses your IP address to limit how many searches one visitor can run in a short time.

Settings in your browser

OpenVSafe saves a few small settings in your own browser, such as whether you've seen the home page tour and which boxes you've hidden on a person's page. They stay on your device and aren't sent to us.

Other services

Some pages load a script for charts from cdnjs, a public code library, which sees your IP address when your browser requests the file. Links to other sites, such as OpenVAERS, Substack or ICAN, are covered by those sites' own policies.

The v-safe data

This policy covers visitors to the site. For the people in the CDC's v-safe release, see What about privacy? in the V-safe FAQ.

Changes and questions

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For questions, contact us through OpenVAERS.
