Privacy Policy
Effective: 2026-03-07 · Last updated: 2026-05-17
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how RunWeather (“the App”) collects, uses, and protects your information.
2. Information we collect
- Location (latitude/longitude) — Used to fetch local weather and compute your outfit and best-time recommendations. Accessed while the app is in use and when the widget refreshes. Coordinates are used transiently and are not stored outside your device.
- Running profile & preferences — Preferred running hours, temperature unit, and similar settings you choose yourself. Stored only on your device (UserDefaults / App Group).
The App does not collect personally identifying information such as name, email, or phone number, and does not require an account or login.
3. Information we do not collect
- Health or fitness data (HealthKit is not used)
- Contacts, photos, or calendar
- Search or browsing history
- Advertising identifiers (the App itself does not collect them)
4. Third-party services
| Service | Provider | Purpose | Data sent |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMA Weather API | Korea Meteorological Administration | Weather data for Korean coordinates | Coordinates only · not stored |
| AirKorea API | Korea Environment Corp. | Air quality data for Korean coordinates | Coordinates only · not stored |
| Apple WeatherKit | Apple Inc. | Weather data outside Korea | Coordinates only · not stored |
| Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) | OpenStreetMap Foundation | City search | Search query and coordinates only |
| Google AdMob | Google LLC | Banner ads (non-personalized) | May share IP address and device identifiers |
Beyond the services listed above, the App does not use third-party analytics SDKs and we do not sell or share your data for marketing. Weather API requests are routed through our own Cloudflare Workers proxy, which uses coordinates only as a transient cache key and does not log personal information.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays banner ads served through Google AdMob. The App is configured to request Non-Personalized Ads only, so your data is not used for ad personalization or behavioral targeting.
- To serve ads, Google may process limited device information such as IP address and device identifiers.
- RunWeather itself does not collect or store advertising identifiers.
- Google's data handling for ads: policies.google.com/technologies/ads
6. Data retention
- Location data is used transiently for weather requests and is not stored off-device.
- Profile, favorites, and widget data are stored only on your device.
- Deleting the App removes all on-device settings and caches.
7. Your rights
- Change or revoke location permission in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.
- Delete all local data by removing the App.
8. Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
