Auto Weather Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Auto Weather

Hirschmann IO ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Auto Weather mobile application (the "Service"). This Service is designed to provide weather information for Android Automotive and Android Auto systems.

1. Data Collection and Usage

To provide accurate weather data, the Service requires access to your location.

• Location Data: We use your device's GPS or network-based location to fetch local weather forecasts. This data is transmitted to our weather data provider (e.g., OpenWeatherMap) to process your request.
• Personal Information: We do not collect, store, or sell any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
• Usage Data: Diagnostic data (e.g., device model, OS version) may be processed locally to ensure the Service functions correctly on different infotainment systems.

2. Third-Party Services

We use third-party APIs to retrieve weather data. When you use the Service, your location coordinates are sent to these providers. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of our data provider (e.g., OpenWeatherMap) to understand how they handle location queries.

3. Data Retention

The Service does not store your location history. Location data is used "on-the-fly" to fetch current weather and is discarded immediately after the request is completed.

4. User Control

You can grant or revoke location permissions at any time through your Android device's system settings. If location access is denied, the Service will not be able to provide local weather information.

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the data transmitted between your device and the weather API. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
