1. Introduction
Welcome to UV Index. Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains how UV Index handles your data when you use the app. UV Index does not collect, store, or share any personal data with the developer or any third party. The app accesses your location only on your device to provide weather data using Apple’s WeatherKit API. This access is fully managed through iOS permissions, and your location data is never transmitted or stored by us.
2. Information Collection and Use
No Data Collection or Sharing
• Personal Data Collection: UV Index accesses your location only on your device and is never shared with the developer. Your location is sent to Apple’s WeatherKit API to access weather information.
• No Data Sent to the Developer: Your personal information, including location data, is never shared with the developer.
Location Access for Weather Information
• Location: The app requests location access to display weather data for your current location.
• User Control: Location access is granted only if you approve it through iOS permissions.
• No Storage or Transmission: Your location is used only on your device to fetch weather data and is never stored, transmitted, or accessible by the developer.
3. Use of Apple WeatherKit API
UV Index relies exclusively on Apple’s WeatherKit API to provide weather and UV index data.
• Apple’s Privacy Policies Apply: Weather data is retrieved directly from Apple, and their privacy practices govern how they process data.
• No Additional Tracking or Data Collection: The app only stores a list of locations you have chosen and your last known location. This data is stored only on the device and never shared.
4. Data Security
Because UV Index only stores a list of locations on the device, there is no risk of personal data being misused or accessed by unauthorized parties. The app operates entirely within Apple’s secure ecosystem.
5. Third-Party Services
UV Index only uses Apple’s WeatherKit API to retrieve weather data. No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used. Please refer to Apple’s privacy policy for details on their data handling practices.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the app and will take effect immediately upon publication.
