Information Collected within the Service
The information provided by RainAlertz is offered without our collecting any personally identifiable information from you. For instance, you can view weather conditions in your hometown or anywhere in the world without giving out any personally identifiable information. In order to maximize your experience and to provide you with an enhanced product, RainAlertz customizes messaging and graphics based on the user entering a code.
We may collect certain information through automated means, such as:
Specific geographic location where you are currently located
Information about your device and device capabilities
Information about your device operating system
Upon downloading the application, you will be asked to allow location services on your smartphone to determine your device location. This allows the app to bring up the weather for your location.
If you have the application installed on your smartphone, you may opt-out from geo-location by going to the "Settings" menu in the application and toggling location services off or simply clicking “Don’t Allow” when installing the app. Toggling location services off will disable services in the application, including severe alerts and the five day forecast.
Alerts and notifications.
In our Services, you will receive push notifications for weather related alerts. To provide these services, you simply need to allow location services on your smartphone. If you no longer wish to receive these notifications, you may opt-out by turning them off within the settings of your mobile device
Our Services use third party operating systems, platforms, communication services, devices, and software elements (such as mobile device operating systems, wireless services, mobile phone and tablet devices), and some of our Services are provided by third party distributors, device makers, device operators, platform operators, and communication services. We do not control these third party entities, products and services, and they may collect, use, process, transmit and disclose your information. For example, these third party elements may gather information from our Services, including our applications, in a manner that overrides your settings and preferences in our Services.
