Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

If You Use the App Without Signing Up

• Location data: Only to show you weather for your area (we don't store this)
• That's it! No account means no personal data stored.

If You Create an Account

We only collect what's necessary to make your account work:

• Email address (if you sign up with email)
• Google account information (only basic profile info like email if you sign up with Google)
• Saved locations: The weather locations you choose to save for quick access

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Show you accurate weather forecasts
• Generate adorable animal images with weather-appropriate outfits
• Create funny weather commentary and clothing suggestions
• Save your favorite locations (if you have an account)
• Keep your account secure

What we DON'T do:

• ❌ We don't sell your information to anyone
• ❌ We don't share your data with advertisers
• ❌ We don't track you across other apps or websites
• ❌ We don't collect more data than necessary

Third-Party Services

We use trusted services to make the app work:

• Firebase (by Google): For account authentication and storing your saved locations securely
• Weather API: To get accurate weather data (only your location is shared, temporarily)
• AI Services: To generate cute animal images and funny weather commentary (no personal information is sent)

These services have their own privacy policies and security measures.

Data Storage and Security

• Your account information is stored securely using Firebase
• We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data
• Your saved locations are only accessible to you when logged in
• We retain your data only as long as you have an account

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your information:

• Delete your account: You can delete your account anytime directly from the app settings, which removes all your saved data
• Logout: Sign out whenever you want
• Use without an account: Enjoy all weather features without creating an account
• Location control: This app does not track your actual location. It only uses City/Country name as a reference to provide weather information

Children's Privacy

Whimsical Weather is designed to be safe for users of all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children except what's necessary for account functionality (email and saved locations only). Parents can help children use the app without creating an account to avoid any data collection.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the app. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version.
