DINA Weather ('DINA', 'we' 'our' or 'us') is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by DINA. It is our policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including via our app and its associated services.
Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use an app or online service.
In the event our app contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our app.
This policy is effective as of 26 June 2021.
Last updated: 26 June 2021
Information we collect falls into one of two categories: 'voluntarily provided' information and 'automatically collected' information.
'Voluntarily provided' information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using our app and its associated services.
'Automatically collected' information refers to any information automatically sent by your device in the course of accessing our app and its associated services.
When you access our servers via our app, we may automatically log the standard data provided by your device. It may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your device type and version, your activity within the app, time and date, and other details about your usage.
Additionally, when you encounter certain errors (such as the application crashing) while using the app, we automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.
Our app may access and collect data via your device's in-built tools, such as:
When you install the app or use your device's tools within the app, we request permission to access this information. The specific data we collect can depend on the individual settings of your device and the permissions you grant when you install and use the app.
It's important to note that we do not store your location data on our servers. It will only be used locally on your device and will also be sent to third-party weather services for the sole purpose of fetching the weather for that particular location.
We may ask for personal information which may include one or more of the following:
This information, if provided by the user, is stored locally within the device in order to personalise your experience and provide certain core functionalities of the app. Note that anonymized outfit preferences, age, sex and BMI (Calculated from Height and Weight) information might be used to train and improve artificial intelligence algorithms that are part of DINA's core features. You can opt-out of this anonymous data collection at any time within the application's settings.
None of your personally identifiable information will be stored on DINA's servers, or otherwise sold or given to third-party advertisers.
Other Information Collection and Use
We collect and use your information to provide, understand, and improve DINA Weather. We only collect and retain as much information as is absolutely necessary for the ongoing operation of our services. This information may include:
We use the information we collect to provide weather data, personalized recommendations and notifications. We also use the information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and for improving our artificial intelligence algorithms.
This information is anonymized and cannot be linked to any one user - unless that user manually and knowingly provides us with their anonymized, randomly-generated device or user ID.
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services.
We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. In which instance, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services to you.
When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and no one can guarantee absolute data security.
You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our services. For example, ensuring you do not make your personal information publicly available via our platform.
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need to. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this privacy policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information such as an email address when contacting us about a specific enquiry, we may retain this information for the duration of your enquiry remaining open as well as for our own records so we may effectively address similar enquiries in future. If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific, or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
We do not aim any of our products or services directly at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under 13.
We may disclose personal information to:
