This Privacy Policy describes how PollenTracker at pollentracker.app collects, uses, and protects your information.
1. Information we collect
Location data: When you search for a city or allow location access, we use your approximate location solely to display relevant pollen, air quality, and weather forecasts. We do not store precise GPS coordinates on our servers.
Usage data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as pages visited, features used, and general device information (browser type, operating system) to improve the service.
Account data: If you sign in, we store the minimal profile information provided by the authentication provider (e.g. email address, display name) to maintain your account.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to provide and improve PollenTracker, personalize your experience, and ensure the security and stability of the service.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Third-party services
PollenTracker uses third-party services that may collect information independently. These include Open-Meteo for weather and pollen data, and Google services for authentication and analytics.
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.
4. Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser local storage to remember your preferences (such as selected city and theme) and to support analytics services.
You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time, though this may reset your preferences.
5. Data storage and security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Most preference data is stored locally on your device. Server-side data, where applicable, is stored using industry-standard cloud infrastructure.
6. Children’s privacy
PollenTracker is designed as a family-friendly tool. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. You may also opt out of analytics through your browser settings where available.
To exercise any of these rights, you can contact us using the information below.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page.
Your continued use of PollenTracker after updated terms take effect means you accept the revised policy.
