Introduction

RainAware LLC ("we", "us", or "our") operates the RainAware App mobile application (the "Service"). This policy applies to the use of our Service and is designed to inform you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of your personal data.

Information Collection and Use

Types of Data Collected

Location Data

To provide accurate weather forecasts and alerts, our Service requests access to your device's location. This location data is used to:

• Calculate rain times for your specific location.
• Retrieve local forecast data and weather warnings.
• Plot your location on weather maps to show your position relative to precipitation or cloud areas.

Use of Data

The location data we collect is solely for the purpose of providing the Service's functionalities. We do not store, share, or use your location information for any other purposes.

Permissions for Sensitive Information:

Our Service requests permission to access your device's location. This permission is critical for providing accurate weather forecasts and alerts and is not used for any undisclosed or unimplemented features.

Security of Data

All requests for weather information based on the user's location made to the RainAware servers are anonymous. We do not collect any identifying information, ensuring the privacy and security of your data. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. The data collected by our Service is handled with strict confidentiality and security measures.

User Rights

As we do not collect or store any personal or identifiable data, there is no user data to access, correct, or delete. Our server logs only contain non-identifiable information such as device type (e.g., iPhone, iPad), latitude, longitude, time, and type of weather data requested.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not specifically target children under the age of 18. However, children who are interested in weather may find our app educational. We do not collect personally identifiable information about anyone.
