Privacy Policy – KP Index Aurora Forecast

KP Index Aurora Forecast (the “Application”) is provided free of charge by the developer (the “Service Provider”) on an “as is” basis. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the Application.

  1. Information Collection and Use
  • The Application does not require registration and does not collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, phone number, or email).
  • We may automatically collect non-personal, device-related information to operate, maintain, and improve the Application, including:
    • Device IP address
    • Timestamps, screens/pages viewed, and session duration
    • Operating system version and device model
    • Location data, if you grant permission (see Section 2)
  • All collected data is used solely by the developer for app improvement and is never sold or transferred to any third-party company or individual.

2. Use of Location Data

  • If you grant location permission, the Application uses your device’s geographic location to:
    • Display real-time local weather information
    • Perform automatic time zone conversion
  • Location data is used strictly for these features. It is not used to build user profiles or track behavior and is not provided to any third parties.

3. Push Notifications

  • The Application uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications via a device identifier (not personal data). Notifications are used only for important alerts or updates.
  • You may disable push notifications at any time in your iOS device settings.

4. Children’s Privacy

  • The Application is suitable for users of all ages but is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
  • If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information without parental consent, we will promptly delete it. Parents or guardians may contact us at info@kpindex.app.

5. Data Storage and Deletion

  • We retain collected data only as long as necessary to provide and improve the Application.
  • To request deletion of data generated during your use of the Application, contact info@kpindex.app. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

6. User Choices and Tracking

  • The Application does not perform cross-site tracking and does not collect data for third-party advertising. No App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt is required.
  • You can control and revoke permissions (e.g., location and notifications) at any time in your device settings or by uninstalling the Application.

7. Data Security

  • We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards—including encryption in transit—to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

8. Policy Changes

  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
