Weather Bar takes the privacy of her users seriously and will always strive to protect your privacy and preserve the trust you place in the software and website.
This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that the company and/or its third party service providers collect through the Weather Bar application (“Weather Bar” or “Application”). Data collected through your use of the Application is governed by this Privacy Policy. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using the Application.
By accessing or using Weather Bar, you consent to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country you live or use the Application in, you authorize us to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States and any other country where we operate. We may modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time effective upon its posting on Weather Bar. Your continued use of this Application constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any modifications or updates thereto.

We collect and use your information to provide, understand, and improve Weather Bar. We only collect and retain as much information as is absolutely necessary for the ongoing operation of our services. This information may include:
- Your usage of Weather Bar features;
- Your current location for use in Weather Bar forecasts and notifications;
- The type of device you use, the IP address of your device, and your operating system;
- Measurement units (e.g., Celsius versus Fahrenheit) and Weather Bar settings;
- Your Weather Bar user ID.
We use the information we collect to provide weather data and notifications. We also use the information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services. Specifically, we retain the following information:
- Only your most recent locations and associated user ID which is used to provide weather data; and
- All support-related communications, including but not limited to user-initiated emails and automated bug reports.
Location Information
You may opt to grant Weather Bar access to your current location (“Location Information”) to receive localized weather forecasts. This feature requires access to your device’s current location using your device/s IP Address. Where available, location-based services will use your IP Address, and other technologies to determine your device’s approximate location. Your Location Information will be used to request and display weather data for your current location.
Location Information is uploaded to our servers. Your Location Information is used only to provide localized weather alerts.
Your Location Information will be shared automatically with our weather data provider, Dark Sky, when you request weather data for your current location.
Your Location Information will never be shared with third parties (other than our data providers, but these providers will not be given your device or user specific data), such as third party service providers and/or advertisers, except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
Sharing Information
Weather Bar allows you to share weather forecasts, along with that forecast’s location, through social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. Weather Bar will never automatically share your Location Information on social networks, and/or third parties without your consent.
Weather Bar is in no way responsible for the protection of any Location Information that you choose to share with social networks. You and such social networks are solely responsible for the protection of such information. Please review any applicable policies and procedures of such social networks before sharing your information therein.
