Privacy Policy
We built SkyPulse Weather to be fast, helpful, and privacy‑friendly. This policy explains what information the app processes, why, and your choices. If you have questions, email us at support@cafecircuit.com.
Summary
- No account, no ads, no third‑party trackers.
- Location is used only to show local weather and radar after you grant permission. You can deny or revoke permission anytime in system settings.
- SkyPulse does not build profiles or sell personal data.
- Weather data is fetched over HTTPS from reputable providers; requests are made directly from your device.
Information We Process
- Location (precise or approximate). Used to determine forecast and radar tiles for your area. Location never leaves your device except as latitude/longitude included in API requests you initiate.
- App diagnostics. Non‑identifying crash logs and error messages may be generated by your device to help us fix bugs. We do not collect analytics that track you across apps or websites.
Data Sources & Third‑Party Services
To display forecasts, maps and radar, the app connects to these services from your device:
- Open‑Meteo — forecast & current weather (open-meteo.com).
- RainViewer — global radar tiles (api.rainviewer.com).
- OpenStreetMap / OSM tile servers — base map tiles (openstreetmap.org).
- Overpass API (fallback) — nearby place names (overpass-api.de).
These providers may receive your IP address and the coordinates necessary to return data. Please review their privacy notices for details about their processing.
How We Use Information
- Provide core features (weather, radar, air quality, alerts).
- Improve reliability and fix bugs when crashes or errors occur.
Your Choices
- Location permission. Grant Allow while using the app (recommended) or deny in system settings. The app still opens without location but some features may be limited.
- Data deletion. We do not maintain user accounts or store your personal data on our servers. Uninstalling the app removes locally stored data. If you emailed us and want your email removed, contact us.
- Notifications. If you opt in to alerts, you can disable them any time in system settings.
Children’s Privacy
SkyPulse Weather is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information directly to us, please contact us to remove it.
Security
All network requests to weather and map providers use HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we aim to follow industry best practices.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy to reflect improvements or legal requirements. Material changes will be highlighted in‑app or on our website. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
