Privacy Policy

Overview

This app is built with a simple principle:

No accounts. No tracking. No data collection beyond what is required to show you the weather.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the app, in accordance with applicable privacy laws including Canada's PIPEDA, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

Website Analytics

The Baro website may use privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Vercel Analytics) to understand basic usage patterns, such as page views and referrers.

These tools are configured to minimize data collection and do not use cookies or track users across sites.

No personally identifiable information is collected or stored by us through website analytics.

Information We Collect

We do not directly collect personal information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Account credentials
• Usage analytics
• Advertising identifiers

The app is designed to function without user accounts or tracking.

Location Information

With your permission, the app accesses your device's location to provide local weather data.

• Location access is requested through the iOS permission system
• Location is used only at the time of the request
• We do not store or retain location data
• We do not have access to your location outside of your device

Weather requests are made using Apple-provided services, which may process location data as part of delivering results.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Where applicable, the app relies on:

• Consent — when you grant location permissions
• Legitimate interest — to provide core functionality (displaying weather)

We do not perform additional personal data processing.

Third-Party Services

The app relies on Apple services, including:

• WeatherKit
• Core Location

These services may process data such as location to provide functionality.

Apple acts as an independent data controller for this processing. We do not control Apple's data handling practices.

For more information, please refer to Apple's privacy policy.

Local Data Storage

The app may store limited data locally on your device, including:

• Cached weather data
• User preferences (units, theme, etc.)

This data:

• remains on your device
• is not transmitted to us
• is deleted when the app is removed

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not:

• sell personal information
• share personal information
• monetize personal data

We may disclose information only if required to comply with applicable laws, where such information exists.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• request disclosure of data collected about you
• request deletion of personal information
• opt out of the sale of personal information

We do not sell personal information.

Because we do not collect personal information in a way that identifies individuals, we generally do not hold data that can be accessed or deleted.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable laws, including:

• access to personal information
• correction or deletion of personal information
• withdrawal of consent

Because we do not collect or store personal information, these rights are typically exercised by:

• disabling location permissions in your device settings
• deleting the app and its local data

Consent

By using the app and granting permissions (such as location access), you consent to the limited use of information as described in this policy.

You may withdraw consent at any time through your device settings.

Data Retention

We do not retain personal information.

Any locally stored data remains on your device and is under your control.

International Users

The app is made available globally.

Third-party services (such as Apple) may process data in jurisdictions outside your own. We do not control these processes.

Children's Privacy

The app is not directed at children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
