This Privacy Policy explains what information the Umbrella app ("Umbrella", "we", "us") collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. We built Umbrella to be useful while collecting as little about you as possible.
Who we are
Umbrella is provided by [Your Registered Company Name], [registered address]. For any privacy question, contact us at privacy@umbrellaweather.com.
The short version
- We use your location to fetch a local forecast, then discard it. We don't keep a history of where you've been.
- Your preferences, saved places, and any people or health sensitivities you add are stored on your device, not on our servers.
- We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising.
- Weather data is provided by Apple WeatherKit and its sources.
Information we process
Location
With your permission, Umbrella uses your device's location to show weather for where you are and to power features like commute and departure timing. Your coordinates are sent to our weather data provider to retrieve a forecast and are not stored by us afterwards or linked to your identity. You can use Umbrella without location access — it will use a home location you set instead. You can change or revoke location permission at any time in your device's Settings.
Places you save
Any home location or saved places you enter are stored locally on your device so the app can show weather for them. We don't receive a copy of this list.
People you care for
If you choose to add people you care about and the location they're in, that information is stored on your device and used only to show weather relevant to them. Umbrella does not track those people's devices and does not access their location — it only uses the place you type in.
Health sensitivities
If you opt in to health-related alerts (for example pollen, air quality, heat, cold, or pressure sensitivity), your selections are stored on your device and used only to decide which weather notifications to show you. These selections are not transmitted to us. Umbrella's health-related alerts are informational only and are not medical advice.
Your profile and routine
Details you optionally add — such as temperature preferences, gear, birthdays, anniversaries, or activities — are stored on your device to tailor the advice Umbrella gives. They stay on your device.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, your device's operating system handles their delivery. Umbrella schedules notifications based on weather and the preferences described above.
Diagnostics
We may receive basic, non-identifying crash and performance information through Apple's standard developer tools if you have device-level sharing enabled. You can control this in your device's privacy settings.
Weather data and Apple WeatherKit
Umbrella uses Apple WeatherKit to provide weather data. Your location may be sent to Apple to return a forecast, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. Weather data is attributed to Weather and its sources within the app as required.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your personal information.
- We don't use your data to serve advertising.
- We don't build a profile of your movements or keep a location history.
Data retention
Information stored on your device remains until you delete it or remove the app. Location sent to retrieve a forecast is used for that request and not retained by us. If you email us, we keep that correspondence only as long as needed to help you, and will delete it on request.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because most of your information is stored only on your device, you can exercise much of this directly by editing or deleting it in the app, or by removing the app. For anything held by us (such as email correspondence), contact privacy@umbrellaweather.com and we'll respond as required by applicable law.
Children
Umbrella is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. We'll revise the "last updated" date above, and significant changes will be reflected here.
