Informational Use and No Medical Advice Disclaimer
The App provides informational tools relating to hantavirus activity, including outbreak overviews, interactive maps, country-level information, ship or maritime case information, and newsfeed content. The App and all Assets are provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prevention guidance, public health directives, emergency guidance, or any other professional advice. The App is not a substitute for advice from a qualified physician, public health authority, government agency, emergency service, travel professional, occupational safety professional, or other qualified professional.
If You have questions about symptoms, exposure, diagnosis, treatment, travel, public health requirements, or personal safety, You should consult a qualified healthcare professional, official public health authority, or other appropriate professional source.
No Public Health Authority or Official Source
WhatsGoodApps is not a public health authority, government agency, medical provider, research institution, emergency service, or official disease reporting agency. The App is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, any government agency, any public health authority, any news publisher, any ship operator, or any other third-party organization unless expressly stated.
The Services should not be treated as an official source of case counts, outbreak status, travel advisories, safety warnings, public health instructions, or emergency information.
Data Accuracy, Timeliness and Completeness Disclaimer
The App may display outbreak information, case summaries, geographic markers, country-level details, ship-related information, and newsfeed items based on third-party data, public sources, news sources, automated processes, manual review, or other sources. Such information may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, duplicated, misclassified, or otherwise unreliable.
We make no representation or warranty that any case count, outbreak overview, location, country detail, ship detail, news item, date, map marker, trend, summary, or other Asset is accurate, complete, current, verified, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Hantavirus reporting, confirmation, classification, and public availability of data may vary by jurisdiction, source, language, publication timing, testing availability, and reporting practices. Absence of a marker, country listing, case summary, news item, or other Asset should not be interpreted to mean that no cases, risk, outbreak, or relevant activity exists in that location.
Third-Party Data Sources and Newsfeed Disclaimer
The App may include or link to third-party data, public records, government or public health statements, news articles, publisher content, maritime information, maps, APIs, or other third-party materials. We do not control, guarantee, verify, or endorse any third-party data or content.
Newsfeed items, article headlines, summaries, snippets, links, and publisher materials are provided for convenience and awareness only. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, opinions, editorial positions, availability, legality, or reliability of any third-party news content or website.
When You access third-party websites, services, articles, maps, or resources, You do so at Your own risk and subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third parties.
Map, Geographic and Visualization Disclaimer
Maps, markers, boundaries, geographic groupings, hotspot indicators, ship markers, and other visualizations in the App are approximate, illustrative, and informational only. They may not reflect exact locations, official boundaries, complete case distributions, current risk levels, or confirmed transmission areas.
Map markers may be based on approximate locations, reported regions, countries, ports, ship routes, publication locations, or other available information. Markers may be generalized, estimated, shifted, or displayed at a higher-level geographic area rather than a precise case location.
Visual intensity, color, clustering, or placement should not be interpreted as a definitive statement of risk, severity, spread, transmission, or official public health status.
Country-Level and Maritime Information Disclaimer
Country-level pages and details are provided for informational convenience and may not include all cases, historical events, current reports, local advisories, regional variations, official classifications, or source limitations.
Ship, vessel, cruise, cargo, maritime, or port-related information may be delayed, estimated, incomplete, or based on limited reporting. Not all vessels, cases, suspected cases, ports, routes, exposures, or relevant maritime events may be captured or displayed in the App.
No Reliance for Medical, Travel, Safety or Emergency Decisions
You agree that You are not relying on the App as Your primary or sole source of medical information, public health information, travel guidance, safety guidance, emergency information, workplace safety guidance, or professional advice. Any decision to use, interpret, share, or act upon the App’s outputs is made solely by You.
You should independently verify information through qualified healthcare professionals, official public health agencies, government sources, transportation providers, employers, travel advisors, or other appropriate professional sources before making any health, travel, safety, workplace, financial, legal, or emergency-related decision.
User Responsibility and Use at Your Own Risk
