Introduction

Kite Weather ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our kite flying weather simulation application.

Information We Collect

Location Data: If you choose to use the geolocation feature, we access your device's location to provide local weather data. This information is only used to fetch weather conditions and is not stored or shared.

Weather API Requests: We use WeatherAPI.com to fetch weather data. When you search for a location or use geolocation, your coordinates or search query are sent to WeatherAPI to retrieve weather information. Please refer to WeatherAPI's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle this data.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies to improve your experience:

• Geolocation Preference Cookie: If you decline geolocation access, we store a cookie ("geolocationDenied") for 30 days to prevent repeatedly asking for permission. This cookie is automatically cleared if you later grant location access.

We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to understand basic website usage patterns. This service collects anonymized information such as:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• General geographic location (country level)
• Browser type and device information

Vercel Analytics does not track individual users or collect personally identifiable information. For more information, please see Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except:

• Weather data requests are sent to WeatherAPI.com as necessary to provide the service
• Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap contributors

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Decline location access (you can still use the app by searching for locations)
• Clear cookies at any time through your browser settings
• Request information about data we process by contacting us

Data Security

All weather data requests are made over secure HTTPS connections. We do not store your location data or personal information on our servers.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

While Kite Weather attempts to provide real weather information in a unique format, it may not always be accurate in its appearance, how it conveys weather information, reliability, or the weather details displayed.

Kite Weather is designed for entertainment and educational purposes. The 3D visualization and kite simulation are artistic interpretations of weather data and should not be used as the sole source of weather information for critical decisions.

For instances where weather information is a critical factor to your activities, please seek reliable and authoritative weather sources.

Otherwise, please take an umbrella with you, just in case. ☂️

No Warranties

Kite Weather is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the weather data or visual representations.

Limitation of Liability

The creators of Kite Weather shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use or inability to use this application, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
