1.2 Location Information

To provide accurate weather information, the App may request access to your device's location. This information is used solely to deliver location-specific weather data and forecasts. You can choose to allow location access "Always", "While Using the App", or "Never" through your device settings. If you choose not to share your location, you can still use the App by manually searching for a location.

We may collect information about how you use the App, including but not limited to: the features you use, the time and duration of your usage, the locations you search for, and the device information (such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers). This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide and improve the App's functionality, including delivering accurate weather forecasts and alerts
  • To personalize your experience by showing weather information relevant to your location
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve the App's features and performance
  • To respond to your support requests and provide customer service
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as described below:

3.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, such as weather data providers, analytics services, and customer support platforms. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

3.3 Protection of Rights

We may disclose your information to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

5. Your Rights and Choices

6. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
