- Our website, help center, or related pages;
- Customer support, account-related, subscription, or payment-related features associated with the Service.
This Policy does not apply to products or services provided by third parties through the Service (such as third-party SDKs, payment platforms, or external websites). Such third parties process your information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Subscription and Transaction Information
Subscription status, order identifiers, transaction verification data, and other subscription-related status information (typically provided by app stores or payment platforms).
We do not directly collect complete payment information such as your bank card number or payment password.
2.2 Information Collected for Core Functionality
Depending on how you use the Service, we may process the following information related to devices, networks, location, and weather-related services:
Device Information:

Network and Connection Information:
IP address, network type, request status, error codes, and basic network information necessary to provide weather-related services.
Location Permission (With Your Authorization):
To provide weather conditions, forecasts, air quality information, severe weather alerts, and other location-based weather services for your current location, we may request access to your location permission, including precise or approximate location, depending on your system settings and authorization preferences.
You may also manually select a city or region to view weather information. In such cases, weather services will be provided based on the city or region you select.
Notification Permission (With Your Authorization):
When you enable weather reminders, severe weather alerts, rain notifications, daily weather notifications, or similar features, we may request notification permission to send you relevant alerts and updates.
Photos and Videos Permission (With Your Authorization):
When you use feedback, issue reporting, customer support, or similar features and voluntarily upload screenshots, images, or video files, we may request access to your photos or videos so that you can select and upload relevant files.
We only access media content that you voluntarily select and upload. We do not scan, access, or collect your entire photo library or video content without your authorization.
You may manage or disable these permissions at any time through your device settings; however, doing so may affect the normal functionality of image or video feedback features.
Note:
Without your authorization, we will not access your location information, photos, or video content. You may manage or disable location permissions, notification permissions, and photos and videos permissions at any time through your system settings. However, doing so may affect features such as current location weather, real-time weather notifications, severe weather alerts, or image/video feedback functionality.
2.3 Automatically Collected Logs and Analytics Information
To maintain service stability and security, we may automatically collect:
Log Information
Launch logs, crash logs, error diagnostics, and aggregated usage statistics related to feature usage (such as page visits and feature usage frequency).

- Your contacts, SMS messages, call logs, or address book information;
- Photos, videos, files, or other personal content stored on your device (unless you voluntarily use related features, such as submitting feedback uploads);
- Your precise location information (unless you authorize location access to provide weather services for your current location);
- Device data or system content unrelated to the Service.

4. How We Share, Transfer, and Disclose Information
4.1 Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share necessary information only in the following circumstances:
Sharing with Service Providers (Processing on Our Behalf)
We may use third-party service providers (such as cloud service providers, weather data providers, push notification services, crash analytics services, usage analytics services, subscription management services, payment processors, and similar providers) to support the Service.

These partners will process such information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable laws.
Sharing with Payment and Subscription Service Providers
When you purchase subscriptions or membership services, related transactions are typically processed by app stores or payment platforms (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play).
We may receive information necessary for order verification and subscription status management but do not directly process your complete payment information.
With Your Explicit Consent
For example, when you voluntarily share weather content, submit feedback, or choose to interact with third-party services.
4.2 Information Transfer
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, asset transfer, restructuring, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We will require any new entity receiving your information to continue protecting it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If the purposes of information processing materially change, we will notify you and obtain your consent where required by law.
