Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Weather World AI ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website weatherworld.ai and its associated services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms, please discontinue use of our site.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

2.1 Information You Provide

• Contact information (name, email) when you reach out via our contact form
• Search queries and location preferences you voluntarily enter
• Any feedback, comments, or correspondence you send to us

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Geolocation data: With your explicit consent via browser permission, we access your approximate location to provide localized weather and air quality data. You can deny this permission and search manually instead.
• Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, click patterns, and referral sources — collected via analytics tools to improve our service.
• Device data: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preferences — used to optimize the user experience.
• Local storage: We store your preferences (theme, units, favorite locations) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Deliver localized weather forecasts, air quality data, and health recommendations
• Personalize your experience (preferred units, saved locations, theme)
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Analyze usage patterns to improve website performance and content
• Ensure the security and integrity of our platform
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage and analytics scripts) to enhance your browsing experience. These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with our site. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the site.

We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that use cookies to collect and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors.

5. Third-Party Services

We integrate with third-party data providers to deliver weather and air quality information. These include Open-Meteo, OpenAQ, WAQI, and Nominatim (OpenStreetMap). When you use our services, requests may be made to these providers' APIs. We do not share personally identifiable information with these services — only the geographic coordinates necessary to retrieve environmental data for your location.

6. Advertising

We may display advertisements on our website through third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

7. Data Retention

We retain collected data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis. You may request deletion of any personal information we hold about you by contacting us.

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, secure server infrastructure, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we will promptly delete it.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
