Info related to the GDPR
Privacy Policy & Terms of use smalltech sàrl
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you as a user of our mobile applications and our services, how this information is processed, and how you can opt out of certain types of processing.
1. Information about the responsible entity
The entity responsible for our sites, mobile applications and our services is
Smalltech sàrl , Ch. des Mouettes 14, 1007 Lausanne VD, Switzerland.
This Privacy Policy applies on the same basis to each website, mobile application or services referred to above.
2. What is personal information?
Personal information means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual.
3. How do we process personal information?
Our apps and websites do not share personal information with third parties. When you write us a mail we'll have your address but we won't use it for anything else than helping you with our apps. We do use anonymous traffic analysis. We only log anonymous technical information mostly in order to adapt fast to the constant hardware and software variations.
4. Specific use of personal information regarding Mobile Applications (“Apps”)
4.1 Location data during the use of Apps
Apps downloaded to your mobile phone or tablet may rely on location based services, such as your Global Positioning System “GPS” to inform you about forecasts regarding your current location automatically or upon demand. Such location-based functions are set by default. You may deactivate or reactivate these functions in the settings of your respective device. Before or after installing the Apps – depending on your device – you will be asked whether you prefer to (de)activate these functions. We may only collect data regarding your location if you turn on such location services.
The app may also find your location based on your address IP. These requests are fully anonymised. Access logs are disabled on servers so your IP address isn't stored, logged or shared. Only your app on your device will have this information and only use it to select the appropriate city to display to you.
The data relating to your location is processed locally on your device in order to obtain a GEOID. This GEOID corresponds to a weather station closest to your current position.
All requests sent to our servers use end-to-end encryption.
Our weather apps can be used without any form of localisation, you can manually set a location using the search screen. The app will display the forecast for this location only each time you will open the app, without trying to localize you.
4.2 Collection of personal information during the use of Apps
We don't collect any personal information from our users.
4.3 Use of Google Analytics or Google Firebase during the use of Apps
For statistical analysis of our Apps we use either Google Analytics or Firebase. We use only basic features of the analytics to understand the number of users, their characteristics, and where they come from. We don't track any Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
4.4 Use of Advertising ID tracking technology
The advertising ID is a unique, user-resettable ID for advertising. The most common advertising identifiers are the AAID (on Android) and the IDFA (on Apple).
You can opt out of these tracking mechanisms at any time by deleting or resetting this identifier from your device's privacy settings.
Our applications may also ask for your consent before using this advertising ID.
4.5 Use of Crashlytics during the use of Apps
These tools use anonymised IP addresses for analytical purposes. Thus, it is impossible to deduce who the particular person using the respective IP address is. Crashlytics provides us with analysis on system failures in real time and facilitates the system’s maintenance. You will find further information regarding crashlytics here: https://firebase.google.com/terms/crashlytics
5. Advertisements on the Sites, Apps and links to other websites
The Site and Apps contain third party advertisements and links to other websites and apps which are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please note that, if you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these websites may collect (personal) information from you. This information will be used by them and will be subject to their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.
6. Accessing, rectifying, removing, blocking or revoking of personal information
Upon request, we will give you access to the personal information held about you, unless specific limitations apply (e.g. if providing access would be unlawful).
We will respond to a request for access to personal information within a reasonable period after the request is made, and give access to the personal information in the manner requested by you, if it is reasonable and practicable to do so.
If we do not agree to provide you with access, or to amend your personal information as requested, you will be notified accordingly. Where appropriate, we will provide you with the reason/s for our decision, and the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal.
