Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how BWeather Labs (“BWeather,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our applications, websites, and related services.
Your control
You can access, update, or delete your information, manage notifications, and opt out of marketing at any time.
Secure storage
We safeguard data with encryption, role-based access, and regular reviews of our partners and vendors.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Account details: Name, email address, and password when you create a BWeather account.
- Location data: Precise or approximate location to deliver hyperlocal forecasts and alerts. You can manage location access in your device settings.
- Usage data: Device information, app interactions, crash logs, and diagnostics that help us improve stability and performance.
- Communication history: Support requests, feedback, and survey responses you voluntarily provide.
We do not collect payment card information directly. Transactions are processed through
trusted app store providers who follow their own privacy and security practices.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver forecasts, alerts, widgets, and other core app experiences tailored to you.
- Maintain the security and reliability of our apps, APIs, and infrastructure.
- Analyze usage trends to understand feature adoption and prioritize improvements.
- Send transactional communications about updates, service changes, or outages.
- Share marketing announcements or educational content when you give us permission. You can opt out at any time.
Third-Party Services
We rely on carefully selected partners to support our products. These providers process data on our behalf and follow strict contractual controls:
- Google Cloud Platform and Firebase for hosting, analytics, and crash reporting.
- Apple App Store and Google Play for purchase processing and account recovery.
- Customer support tools that help us respond to your requests quickly.
Each partner maintains its own privacy policies, which we review regularly. We never sell your personal information.
Data Retention & Security
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to deliver the services you request or to comply with legal obligations. Data is stored using encryption, and access is limited to authorized team members whose roles require it.
Although we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we detect a security incident, we will notify affected users and regulators as required by law.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask for corrections or updates to inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request deletion of your data, subject to legal and contractual limitations. Deleting your account removes your stored locations, alerts, and preferences.
- Receive a portable copy of the information you provided (data portability) where applicable.
- Opt out of marketing communications. Transactional and service notifications will still be sent when required.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests to protect your account.
Children’s Privacy
BWeather is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If we learn that information from a child has been collected inadvertently, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us data should reach out to support immediately.
International Users
If you access BWeather from outside the United States, you agree that your information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States or other countries where our partners operate. We maintain appropriate safeguards aligned with applicable laws.
Changes to This Policy
We update this Privacy Policy when our practices change or when required by law. We will notify you through the app or by email before material changes take effect, giving you time to review the updates.
