Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28.09.2018
INTRODUCTION
This "App" branded mobile application and any services provided through
this application (the "App") are provided to you by Hotmagma OU, an
Estonian registered company, its registered office at Tallinn, Estonia,
Rävala pst 8 (referred to as "HM", "we", "us" or "our"). Our Privacy
Policy applies when you use any of the "App" and should be read together
with the End User License Agreement EULA. By using an "App", you are
consenting to our processing of your information in ways set out in this
Privacy Policy.
The information we collect about you through your use of "App" is
controlled by EW in accordance with Estonian law, as amended or replaced
from time to time.
Our Privacy Policy may change so you should review it regularly. We will
notify you of any material changes in the way we treat your information
through the "App" you use.
DATA WE COLLECT
When you use an "App", EW or its trusted partners may collect data from
your mobile device, including information which directly or indirectly
identifies you. Your information may be kept in an identifiable format,
or in an aggregate format which means that you cannot reasonably be
identified from it. The information we collect about you (collectively
and individually, the "Information") includes:
- If an "App" offers you the option to register, we will collect
the Information you provide to us in the registration form. This may
include identification data such as your name, email address or other
account or registration data.
- We will also collect your Information when you use "App" such as
when you post or share material, upload data, request further services
or make selections using the "App", if such functionality is available
in the "App".
- We will collect Information about you when you interact with us
such as when you report a problem, contact or communicate with us.
- Geolocation data, which is any Information which indicates the
geographical position of your device and which may include the time the
location was recorded, and may include precise (e.g., GPS-level)
location data. Some "App" may collect this data when the App is not open
or actively in use (This may help us or third parties to customize
information, content, or offers to you, for instance.) The "App" and/or
your mobile device may provide options for you to control the use and/or
sharing of precise device location data.
- Any of your Information you provide or permit to be provided to
us via a social network or public forum provider like Facebook when you
link the "App" to your social network or public forum account. This data
may include your use of the "App" on such public forums and/or social
networks, including with whom you share the "App". For further
information as to how and for what purpose the social network provider
collects etc. your data, please see their privacy policy.
- We automatically collect certain Information from your device
when you use the "App" including Information about your device, carrier
and other technical data.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may use the Information (elements of which we may use alone or in
combination with each other data/Information) we collect to:
- Deliver the "App" to you and ensure their optimal functionality and operation;
- Provide you with customer support;
- Perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, or content;
- Communicate with you by e-mail, postal mail, telephone
and/or mobile devices (including through in-application advertising)
about products or services that may be of interest to you either from
us, our parent or subsidiary companies or other third parties. If you do
not wish to receive in-application advertising, in some cases you can
upgrade to the paid version of the app;
- Develop and display content and advertising (and work with
third parties who do so) tailored to your interests and/or location and
to measure its effectiveness. For instance, we, or these third parties
may serve music-related ads or offers to users who have installed
music-related apps (whether or not these are "App"). Similarly, users
who frequently visit music-related venues may likewise receive ads or
offers to install music-related apps;
- Enforce our terms, conditions and policies and to communicate with you;
- Manage and improve the "App".
- When we collect your precise geolocation data (subject to
your consent) (which may be via the device's cellular, Wi-Fi, Global
Positioning System (GPS) networks and/or Bluetooth information), we do
so to provide you with our location-related products and services, for
example to provide you with forecast and weather alerts for your
location, and also to facilitate, measure, or otherwise support
advertising by third parties (through our apps or third parties' apps)
that may be related to your location over time.
CROSS-APP ADVERTISING AND OTHER INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES
As described in Privacy Policy we sometimes work with third parties to
deliver ads, content or offers. Sometimes we or these third parties do
so through a mobile "SDK." The SDK is a bit of computer code that app
developers can include in their apps to enable ads to be shown, data to
be collected, and related services to be implemented. We may use this
and similar technology to deliver certain advertising through mobile
applications and browsers based on data associated with your mobile
device, and we may work with third parties who likewise embed their SDKs
into "App", for third party advertising. If you'd like to opt-out from
having ads tailored to you in this way on your mobile device, please
follow the instructions below.
If you wish to opt out of interest-based cross-application tracking
through your mobile device, you can do so through your device
"settings", as follows (but please note that the below is for
informational purposes only and Apple, Google, or other device platforms
may change the manner in which their "opt out" settings work at any
time): Please note that if you opt out through these settings, you will
continue to receive advertising after you opt-out, but it may not be
tailored to your interests. For instance, that advertising may be based
on your real-time or "contextual" application usage or general location
inferred from IP address.
Opting Out on iOS Devices Such as iPhones, iPads or iPods
If you have an Apple device, you can opt out of mobile interest-based or
"cross-app" advertising by updating to iOS 6.0 or higher, and setting
Limit Ad Tracking to 'ON'. On an iPhone 6 for example, you can do this
by clicking on Settings -> General -> Privacy -> Advertising
and toggling "Limit Ad Tracking" to 'ON'. Our systems are designed to
respect your choice and not use Information to provide interest-based
advertising when this setting is ON.
Opting Out on Android Devices
If you have an Android device and would like to opt out of mobile
interest-based or "cross-app" advertising, you may do this as follows:
- Open the Google Settings app on your device
- Select Ads
- Opt out of interest-based ads
We may sometimes work with partners to help us or help them correlate
content or ads provided to users across devices or browsers. For
instance, a brand may wish to use the Information that we collect (or
data that its own partners collect) to send offers to its customers
across both mobile applications and browsers. We thus also provide the
links below to the NAI "Consumer Opt-out," DAA opt-out, and Google
opt-out that are only applicable to participating third parties, which
does not include EW. You may also block certain App Identifiers by
changing the settings of your device. However, we do not currently
recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the
Internet industry has not reached a consensus as to Do Not Track
standards, implementations and solutions.
SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
We may share your Information as follows:
- We may share your Information with our authorized service
providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These services
may include providing customer service and marketing assistance,
performing business and sales analysis, supporting our "App"
functionality, and supporting marketing promotions (e.g., contests and
sweepstakes) surveys and other features offered through our "App". These
service providers may have limited access to your Information, which is
needed to perform their functions, but are not permitted to share or
use such Information for any other purposes.
- When you engage in promotions offered through the "App", we
may share your Information with the businesses with which we partner to
offer you those products, services, promotions, contests and/or
sweepstakes; unless, we have otherwise committed to you that we will not
share specific Information you provided. When you elect to engage in a
particular merchant's offer or program, you authorize us to provide your
email address and other Information to that merchant.
- We may also allow third-parties, including our authorized
service providers, parent and subsidiary companies, affiliates,
advertising companies and ad networks, to display advertisements in the
"App" or other apps or use App Identifiers for the purpose of
advertising and direct marketing. These companies may use technologies
to collect data about users, including non-precise and/or precise
location data, to help them tailor relevant ads and content and analyze
and measure ads' effectiveness or, more generally, brand and mobile
audiences. These companies may collect this data through SDKs or from
users who view or interact with their advertisements. We combine
Information internally at EW across different "App". This means, for
example, that we may combine your Information from our Notepad app with
Information we have about you in our Emoji app. This will enable us to
provide more tailored and personal experiences and services to you
across our family of "App"
- Other Situations. We may disclose your Information (i) to
respond in good faith to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a
court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or
other government agency; (ii) in connection with efforts to investigate,
prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected
fraud or other wrongdoing; (iii) to protect and defend the rights,
property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others;
(iv) to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement;
(v) to enforce our "App" terms and conditions or other agreements or
policies; and (vi) in connection with a substantial corporate
transaction, such as the sale of our business or the "App", a
divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale or transfer, or in the
unlikely event of bankruptcy. In addition, we may share aggregated
Information we collect, under any of the above circumstances, with third
parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose
of conducting general business analysis or other legitimate business
purposes. Please note that such aggregated Information will not include
any Information which allows third parties to identity you.
COOKIES, IDENTIFIERS AND DATA ANALYSIS
We may collect certain device data and electronic identifiers such
as the mobile device identifier provided by your mobile device operating
system, your mobile operating system details and the name of your
mobile carrier. For example, if you use the iOS platform then Advertiser
IDs (also known as "IDFAs" if you have an Apple device or "Android Ad
IDs" if you have an Android device) may be collected. Other identifiers
collected may include IP addresses, OpenUDID, Session ID, ODIn1, iOS
Vendor IDs, MAC addresses, IMEI, Android ID for Android platform, and
ODIN1 for OS X (together with the IDFAs, the "App Identifiers").
When you use the "App"(s), we may use the App Identifiers to facilitate
access to the "App", help us recognize you across different "App", to
enable you to use the "App", to personalize your experience, to increase
security, measure the use and effectiveness of our "App" and serve
advertising. You can block certain App Identifiers by changing the
settings of your device.
We also collect information about how and when you use the "App". This
includes the amount of times you used the "App", which parts of it you
viewed and other technical data such as country settings and timestamps.
Firebase
Weather Now uses the Google Analytics tool Firebase in order to carry
out analysis on Information which is gathered by "App". App Identifiers
and other Information which Weather Now gather are provided to Google in
order to enable them to carry out data analysis. Any Information
(including App Identifiers) which are provided to Google will become
subject to Google's privacy policy which is located here:
www.google.com/privacy.html.
For further information on how Google's Firebase analytics tool uses
data, please see the site "How Google uses data when you use our
partners' sites or apps", (located at

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
The security and confidentiality of your Information is very important
to us, so we take security measures (including physical, electronic and
procedural measures) to help safeguard your information from
unauthorized access and disclosure. Please know that, despite our
efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
WHERE WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION
The Information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and
stored at, a destination outside of your country and the European
Economic Area ("EEA") and, in particular, the US, which may have
different or less protective privacy laws than those in your country.
The Information may also be processed by any service providers appointed
by us who operate outside the EEA and their staff, and/or our own staff
based outside of the EEA. By submitting or permitting us to collect
your Information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing
outside of the EEA. Information transferred will be treated in
