Precip – Rain, Snow & Weather

"Precise location permission (continuous) Used for accessing the User's precise device location. Precip may collect, use, and share User location Data in order to provide location-based services."

The app requests continuous precise location permission, meaning it can track the user's exact position at all times, not just when the app is actively in use.

"The Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of Precip (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner."

Data is shared with a wide range of third parties including Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook, PostHog, Cloudflare, RevenueCat, and others, creating an extensive data-sharing network across multiple companies.

"Meta ads conversion tracking (Meta pixel) is an analytics service provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. that connects data from the Meta Audience Network with actions performed on Precip. The Meta pixel tracks conversions that can be attributed to ads on Facebook, Instagram and Meta Audience Network."

The Meta pixel and Google Analytics link user activity on Precip with behavior across Facebook, Instagram, and the broader Meta Audience Network, enabling cross-platform user profiling.

"Among the types of Personal Data that Precip collects, by itself or through third parties, there are: first name; last name; phone number; email address; various types of Data; Trackers; Usage Data; number of Users; session statistics; calendar information; User ID; IP address; device information; browser information; city; country; page views; clicks; geographic position; precise location; coarse location."

Precip collects an extensive range of personal data including calendar information, social media accounts, and detailed device/browser information, which goes beyond what a weather app would typically need.

"Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users' consent. Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner's legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes."

There are no specific retention timelines. Data is kept indefinitely under broad justifications like 'legitimate interests' with no concrete deletion schedule.

"The Owner reserves the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time by notifying its Users on this page and possibly within Precip and/or - as far as technically and legally feasible - sending a notice to Users via any contact information available to the Owner. It is strongly recommended to check this page often, referring to the date of the last modification listed at the bottom."

The company can change the privacy policy at any time with notification limited to updating the webpage, placing the burden on users to check for changes regularly.
