Privacy Policy Of Compass & Live Weather App
1. Information We Collect
When you use our App, we may collect the following types of information:
Location Data: To provide weather updates and compass functionality, we may collect and process your device's location.
Device Information: We may collect information about the device you are using, including its model, operating system version, and unique identifiers.
Usage Data: We may collect data on how you interact with the App, including features used and session duration.
Weather Data: We collect weather-related data based on your location to provide forecasts, alerts, and other weather-related features.
2. Compass Feature
The Compass feature in the App uses your device’s magnetometer (compass sensor) to provide real-time directional information. Here’s how the Compass feature works:
Location Tracking: The compass does not require GPS to function; however, your device's location may be used in conjunction with the weather feature for providing personalized forecasts.
Magnetometer Data: The App uses the magnetometer (a sensor in your device) to detect the direction in which your device is pointing. This data helps us provide accurate compass readings for navigation purposes.
No Personal Data Collection: The compass feature does not collect or store any personal data. It only processes sensor data related to direction and location, which is not tied to your identity.
How We Use Compass Data:
To provide you with accurate direction and navigation assistance.
To offer a more seamless user experience when combined with weather-related information (e.g., showing wind direction alongside weather updates).
3. Live Weather Feature
The Live Weather feature provides real-time weather updates based on your location. Here’s how the weather feature works:
Location Data: In order to provide localized weather information, the App collects and uses your device’s GPS location.
Weather Data Sources: The App uses third-party weather data providers to fetch accurate weather information, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and other relevant details.
Updates: The weather data is updated regularly to provide current, hourly, and long-term forecasts.
How We Use Weather Data:
To provide you with weather forecasts, including current conditions, hourly forecasts, and extended forecasts.
