What this app does

UV Index + Sun Widget provides current UV index information and related guidance. The app is free to use and supported by advertising.

Information we collect

1) Information you provide

We don’t require you to create an account or submit personal information to use the app.

2) Information collected automatically through advertising

We use Google AdMob to show ads. When ads load, Google and its partners may collect information such as the Advertising ID (AAID), IP address and coarse location, device/app information, and ad interaction data. This is used to deliver, limit, and measure ads; detect fraud/abuse; and (where permitted) personalize ads. Learn more from Google: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

The app does not use Firebase Analytics or another app-usage analytics service. We do not send screen views, feature usage, selected cities, location-permission status, or precise coordinates to Firebase.

3) Location (optional)

If you enable location permission, the app uses your device’s location to calculate local UV information. You can deny or revoke this permission in Android settings and choose a city manually instead.

The latest device coordinates and cities you choose to save are stored locally in the app’s private storage so the app and widget can restore your location. They are not sent to us or to Firebase. You can remove this local information by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app.

If you enable the optional live weather/cloud feature, the app sends the selected location coordinates, rounded to approximately 0.01 degrees, to MET Norway to retrieve approximate temperature and cloud forecast data for the current location. Direct API requests also reveal your IP address to MET Norway. MET Norway states that API access logs contain IP addresses and requested coordinates, and that IP addresses for public meteorological services may be retained for up to 90 days. This feature is off by default, is not required for the app’s core UV features, and recent forecast data may be cached locally on your device to reduce repeated requests. Learn more from MET Norway: API terms and privacy policy.

Legal bases & regional details

EEA/UK/Switzerland (GDPR)

We use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain consent for ad purposes when required. You’ll see a consent dialog on first launch in these regions. Your choice controls what data is used for advertising. To change your choice later, open the app → Settings → Privacy options.

Canada (PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws)

Location permission is optional and is used for the app’s UV features. App-usage analytics are not collected. Ad-related collection by Google is limited through the consent and privacy controls described above, where applicable.

United States (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not sell your personal information in the common sense of the word. For advertising, Google may process your device data to show ads; you can limit ad personalization at the system level (Android settings: Google → Ads → reset/delete Advertising ID).

Children’s privacy

This app is not directed to children under the age of digital consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data sharing

We share data with Google AdMob solely to serve and measure ads. If you enable the optional live weather/cloud feature, we send rounded location coordinates to MET Norway solely to retrieve approximate temperature and cloud forecast data. See Google’s advertising policy pages for details on what Google collects and how you can control it: policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share data with other third parties except as necessary for app functionality, advertising, compliance, or legal obligations.

Data storage & retention

We do not run our own backend for this app and do not retain personal data on our servers. Saved locations remain in the app’s private on-device storage until you replace them, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app. Ad data handled by Google follows Google’s retention policies. Weather forecast data may be cached locally on your device for a short time to improve performance and reduce repeated requests.

Security

We rely on platform security features (Android permissions, transport encryption) and reputable partners (Google AdMob and MET Norway). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we strive to use commercially reasonable measures.

Your choices

International transfers

Your data may be processed by Google or MET Norway on servers located outside your country. These providers use their own safeguards where applicable. See Google’s policy for details: policies.google.com/privacy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the new version in this location and update the “Effective date” above. Your continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
