Privacy Policy for 1DegreeOutside Weather Network Mobile App
Keeping Your Stuff Safe (We Promise!)
We take your privacy seriously at 1DegreeOutside Weather Network. We wouldn’t want anyone snooping in your pockets (unless it’s filled with virtual cookies, then we might peek… just kidding!). This policy explains what info we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.
What Info Do We Collect?
- Location Data: With your permission, we collect precise location data to provide weather forecasts and alerts specific to your area. This data helps us deliver relevant and timely information right where you are.
- Email address (if you share it): This is specifically in the photo/video submission section, because your submission is being made via email.
- App interactions/Usage, crash logs, diagnostics and device information: Purely for application performance and usage analytics.
Why Do We Collect It?
- To Provide Location-Specific Services: We use your location to tailor the app’s features to your current environment. This includes:
- Purpose: Providing accurate weather forecasts and potentially life-saving severe weather alerts for your exact location.
- Offering personalized content based on the weather conditions near you.
- Justification: We provide weather alerts based on the a user’s geographic location. By using background location services, the user can continue to receive alerts appropriate to their location as they travel or commute. Without this ability, alerts can only be provided for the location where you last used the app, which may be miles away from your current location.
- Purpose: Providing accurate weather forecasts and potentially life-saving severe weather alerts for your exact location.
Location Data Usage
- How We Use Your Location Data: Your location data is used exclusively to enhance your experience by providing location-specific weather updates and alerts.
User Control and Privacy
- Your Controls: You can manage location settings within the app and can turn off location services at any time through your device settings, which might affect certain functionalities of the app.
- Security Measures: We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your location data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Sharing is Caring, But We’re Careful
We generally don’t share your information with anyone else. But there might be a few exceptions, like:
- If the law requires us to (think superhero protecting your identity, but in a legal way!)
- With trusted partners who help us run the app (but only the info they need to do their jobs!)
Keeping Things Safe & Secure
We take strong measures to protect your information like a digital fortress! We use encryption and other security practices to keep your data safe and sound.
Your Privacy Choices
You’re in control of your information! Here’s what you can do:
- Access and update your information (it’s yours, after all!)
- Opt out of certain communications (we won’t bombard you if you don’t want it!)
Changes to This Policy
The tech world is always evolving, so we might need to update this policy from time to time. We’ll let you know about any changes beforehand.
