DATA SOURCE All earthquake data comes from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program — the same source professional seismologists rely on. Latest Quakes is independent and not affiliated with the USGS. PRIVACY Your location is used only on-device to compute distances from your watchlist places and show nearby quakes. The only data sent to our servers is your push notification token and notification preferences (magnitude threshold, watchlist places) so we can deliver alerts.
