Thank you for using the Weatpaper application ("Application"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we process it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have in this regard, in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the General Data Protection Regulation – "GDPR"). By using the Application, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The controller of your personal data is Paweł Delinowski, e-mail: paweldelinowski@outlook.com ("Controller").
We process the following categories of data for specified purposes and on the indicated legal bases:
a) Location Data:
What data: Approximate data about your location (latitude and longitude obtained using Android's location services, e.g., based on Wi-Fi or cellular networks). We do not request access to precise GPS location unless it is absolutely necessary for a feature to function. The last known location may be temporarily stored locally on your device to ensure continuity of service if the current location cannot be retrieved.
Purpose: To retrieve current weather data for your location from a third-party provider (OpenWeatherMap) in order to adapt the wallpaper displayed by the Application to the prevailing conditions. To ensure the core functionality of the Application. To enable the application to run in the background for periodic wallpaper updates.
Legal basis: Necessity for the performance of a contract (providing the weather wallpaper service as per your request) – Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your consent, expressed by granting the Application permission to access location in the Android system. Storing the last location on the device is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in providing a better user experience.
b) Analytical and Technical Data:
What data: We may collect anonymous or pseudonymized data about how you use the Application, device information (e.g., model, operating system version, typical technical data), Application error information (crash logs), and information about internet connection availability. If we use Firebase Analytics, identifiers such as the Firebase Instance ID or Advertising ID (if available and the user has not disabled ad personalization) may also be collected.
Purpose: To diagnose technical problems, improve the stability and quality of the Application, and understand how users interact with the Application for its further development.
Legal basis: Our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in maintaining and developing the Application. If data collection goes beyond basic anonymous analytics (e.g., using the Advertising ID), the basis may be your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), for which we will ask separately.
c) Data Related to Additional Wallpapers (if the feature is implemented):
What data: Information on whether the user has decided to download an additional wallpaper pack. Downloaded wallpaper files are stored locally on the device.
Purpose: To enable the download and use of additional wallpapers offered by the Application. To manage access to these wallpapers.
Legal basis: Necessity for the performance of a contract (delivering additional content at the user's request) – Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
d) Contact Data:
What data: Your email address and the content of your correspondence if you contact us directly (e.g., by writing to paweldelinowski@outlook.com).
Purpose: To respond to your inquiries and provide technical support.
Legal basis: Our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in communicating with users or the necessity to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).
Your personal data may be shared with the following categories of recipients:
OpenWeatherMap: We share your location data (approximate coordinates) with OpenWeather Ltd. (or its affiliates) to obtain the weather data necessary for the Application to function. Data processing by OpenWeatherMap is subject to their own privacy policy.
Google (Firebase / Google Play Services): We use services provided by Google LLC (or its affiliates):
Google Play Location Services: Used to obtain location data.
Firebase Analytics (if enabled): Analytical and technical data is sent to and processed by Google to provide us with Application usage statistics.
Firebase Cloud Storage (if the additional wallpapers feature is implemented): The additional wallpaper files are stored on Google's servers, and interactions with this service (e.g., retrieving a list of files, downloading the files themselves) are handled by Google's infrastructure.
Data processing by Google is subject to their privacy policy and the Firebase terms of service.
Public Authorities: We may share your data with authorized public authorities if required by applicable law.
We do not sell your personal data or share it with other third parties for marketing purposes.
The use of services from OpenWeatherMap and Google (Firebase, Google Play Services) may involve the transfer of your personal data (e.g., location data, analytical data) to servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States. In such cases, the transfer is based on appropriate mechanisms ensuring compliance with the GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or adequacy decisions (e.g., under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, if the respective provider is a participant). More information about the safeguards used by our providers can be found in their privacy policies.
Location data is processed on an ongoing basis to retrieve weather information and is not stored by us long-term, except for the last known location saved locally on your device, which is stored until it is overwritten by a newer location or the Application data is cleared.
Analytical data (e.g., in Firebase Analytics) is stored for the period necessary for analytical purposes, in accordance with the service settings (by default, this could be, for example, 14 months).
Downloaded additional wallpaper files are stored locally on your device until you delete them (e.g., by clearing the Application data or if we provide such a feature).
Contact data is stored for the period necessary to complete the correspondence or resolve the reported issue. Data may be stored for a longer period if required by law or if necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
