Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Local Weather ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Location Information

When you use our service, we may collect location information in the following ways:

• Zip codes you enter to search for weather information
• Geolocation data if you choose to use the "Use My Current Location" feature
• City names and coordinates for weather forecasts

This location information is used solely to provide you with accurate weather forecasts and is not stored permanently on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide weather forecasts and information for your requested location
• Improve our services and user experience
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 National Weather Service

We use the National Weather Service (NWS) API to provide weather data. When you request weather information, your location data may be transmitted to the NWS API. Please review the NWS Privacy Policy for more information.

4.2 Geocoding Services

We use third-party geocoding services (such as OpenStreetMap Nominatim) to convert zip codes to coordinates. Your zip code information may be transmitted to these services. Please review their respective privacy policies.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Currently, we do not use cookies or tracking technologies. However, we may implement analytics or other services in the future. If we do, we will update this privacy policy accordingly.

6. Data Storage and Security

We do not permanently store your personal information or location data. Location information is used temporarily to fetch weather data and is not retained after your session ends.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any data we process, though no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any personal information we may have about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Opt out of location services by not using the geolocation feature

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
