Privacy Policy
Last Updated: This policy is effective immediately
This Privacy Policy describes how Elec Temp ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Elec Temp is designed with privacy as a core principle. Unlike many other weather applications, we do not collect or store the following types of information:
- Personal identification information (such as name, email address, or phone number)
- Location data (we do not track or store your precise location)
- User accounts or login information
- Usage data or analytics about how you use the App
- Cookies or tracking technologies
- Device information (beyond what is necessary for basic functionality)
2. Information We May Collect
While Elec Temp is designed to minimize data collection, we may collect certain limited information in the following circumstances:
2.1 Local Device Storage
The App may store certain information locally on your device, including:
- Your preferences and settings (such as temperature units, notification preferences)
- Weather data that has been downloaded to your device for offline use
- Custom alert thresholds you have set
This information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties. You can delete this information by uninstalling the App or resetting your preferences within the App.
2.2 Technical Information for Functionality
To provide you with weather data, the App may temporarily access your approximate location (based on your IP address or nearby weather stations) to fetch relevant weather information. This location information is used only to retrieve the appropriate weather data and is not stored or logged by us.
2.3 Payment Information
If you choose to purchase a premium subscription, your payment will be processed through the App Store. We do not collect or store any payment information, such as credit card details. All payment processing is handled by Apple's secure payment system in accordance with their privacy policy.
3. How We Use Information
Any information that is processed by the App is used solely for the following purposes:
- To provide you with real-time weather data and forecasts
- To deliver notifications based on your custom alert settings
- To maintain and improve the functionality of the App
- To store your preferences and settings locally on your device
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any personal information with third parties. Since we do not collect personal information, there is no data to share with external parties. The limited information processed by the App remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.
In the event that we are required by law to disclose information, we will do so only to the extent necessary and required by applicable law.
5. Third-Party Services
The App may use third-party weather data providers to deliver weather information. These providers may collect limited technical information (such as your IP address) to provide location-based weather data. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand how they handle information.
The App may also include links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing any information to them.
6. Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously. Since the App is designed to process data locally on your device and does not collect personal information, the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access is significantly minimized. We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited information that is processed by the App.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, if necessary, by providing additional notice (such as through the App or via email). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Since we do not collect or store personal information, you have significant control over your data:
- You can uninstall the App at any time, which will remove all locally stored data
- You can reset your preferences within the App to clear stored settings
- You can disable location services for the App in your device settings, although this may limit functionality
- You can manage notification preferences through your device settings

11. Governing Law

12. Entire Agreement
This Privacy Policy constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of information through the App, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
