Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosure

At Weather Spectrum (accessible at weatherspectrum.in and custom domain portals), the privacy of our visitors is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal and non-personal data collected, recorded, and utilized across our web application.

1. Information We Collect

Weather Spectrum does not require user registration, passwords, or personal accounts. We collect minimal telemetry strictly required for operational functionality:

• Approximate Geolocation: If permitted by your browser, we use approximate city-level coordinate telemetry solely to fetch localized Doppler rain radar feeds, temperature, wind shear, and CPCB Air Quality Index (AQI) data. We do not store or track continuous user location history.
• Device & Browser Metadata: Screen dimensions, WebGL graphics renderer capabilities (to optimize 20X Doppler zoom rendering), and user-agent string.

2. Log Files & Server Diagnostics

Like virtually all modern internet platforms, Weather Spectrum uses standard log files. These files log visits to the website. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of this data is to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent malicious denial-of-service (DDoS) traffic, and maintain 99.9% uptime.

3. Third-Party Advertisers and Web Beacons

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Weather Spectrum, which are sent directly to users' browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note that Weather Spectrum has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

Under the CCPA, California consumers have the right to:

• Request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected about consumers.
• Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
• Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data (Weather Spectrum does not sell consumer personal data).

5. GDPR Data Protection Rights

We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation:

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
