2. Purpose
The WetterOnline Meteorological Services GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We would therefore like to inform you whether and which of your data we collect, process and use. Our commitment to this is based on the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The privacy policy for the use of our app (Weather & Radar app) is listed below.
3. Personal data
Personal data are any data that contain information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable customer. This includes, for example, your name, home address, gender, date of birth, age, telephone number, email address, or IP address. This list is not exhaustive and is only intended to illustrate what can be considered personal data.
4. Which of your data do we collect, process or use?
4.1 Collection and use of location data
In our apps, you have the ability to retrieve weather information for your location. To do this, location services must be enabled on your mobile operating system. Once they are enabled and you launch one of the aforementioned apps for the first time, the app will ask you to allow access to your location information. When you confirm, the app is granted access to your location information. You can revoke the app's access to your location at any time in the settings of your mobile device. If you allow the app access to your location data, your mobile device will transmit your location within the cell you are in to us. If your mobile device has a GPS receiver, that location data will also be transmitted to us. The location data is rounded to 0.01°, so we do not gain knowledge of your exact location.
4.2 Paid version
The purchase of the respective Pro version allows you to use our apps free of ads. In the event of the purchase of a Pro version, we will only store a device-specific ID and the date of purchase.
4.3 In-App-Purchases
An in-app purchase allows you to use our apps free of ads. In the event of an in-app purchase, we will only store a device-specific ID, the date of purchase and the expiry date.
5. Which of your data is collected, processed or used by third parties
5.1 Usage-based online advertising
In the following, we wish to inform you about the data collected, processed and used by our advertising partners:
5.1.1 Data collection in our apps
In our free apps, advertising is displayed. Within the scope of these ads, personal data are collected or used. During the advertising delivery, we and our advertising partners use IP address, anonymous device identifiers (Advertising-ID), and device information (operating system or version, device ID, and language) in order to be able to place relevant advertisements for you.
5.1.2 Who our advertising partners are and how you can object to data collection for usage-based online advertising by our advertising partners
The following advertising partners are responsible for data collection for the delivery of usage-based online advertising:
Hide list of advertising partners
The processing of personal data (IP address, cookies, device identifiers) is based on your consent (in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or, where applicable, on the legal basis of a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
WetterOnline participates in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework and complies with its specifications and guidelines. WetterOnline uses the platform to manage consents with the identification number 6.
You can adjust or revoke personalised advertising and the associated data collection and processing through the privacy settings.
5.2 Collection, processing and use of data with Google Analytics
To analyse user behaviour, this app uses Google Analytics, the analysing services of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google”).
The information about the use (type and version of your device, the operating system, the site visited, date and time of your visit, the screen resolution as well as the IP address used) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We wish to point out that we anonymise the IP address prior to transmission. It is only in exceptional cases that a full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the US and abridged there. On our behalf, Google uses the information transmitted to assess your use of our app, to compile reports about the activities and to render further services in connection with the use. Google may also transmit information to third parties, if required by law or if third parties process the information on behalf of Google. By no means will Google link your IP address with other Google data.
Moreover, we use the advertising functions of Google Analytics. By means of these functions, it is possible to anonymously collect and process your socio-demographic data using the device-specific advertising ID.
By using our app, you agree to the processing of your data collected by Google and the processing of the data for the purposes described above. To prohibit collection and use of data by Google Analytics in this app, please object to it by disabling the option “Send anonymous usage data“ at the bottom of this data protection statement.
5.3 Collection, processing and use of data with Firebase Analytics
To analyse user behaviour and to integrate Firebase Cloud-Messaging-Services, our app uses the services of Firebase Analytics.
The Firebase-SDK (Software Development Kit) collects information about the app version, the type of device, the version of the operating system, the point of time of the installation of the app as well as the user‘s age, gender and groups of interest. Furthermore, by means of further activities, Firebase SDK collects information during use of the app. The event-driven data collection of Firebase-SDKs is triggered by activities such as installation and start of the app, updates, re-installation, update of the operating system, deletion of app data, app crashes, and in-app purchases as well as the receipt, the swipe and the opening of push-messages and the opening and updating of the app by means of a dynamic link. For each of these events the number of visits, the number of users triggering the event and, if available, the value of the events is collected. To identify the devices, Firebase-SDK uses the device-specific advertising ID.
By using our app, you agree to the processing of your data collected by Firebase and the collection of data for the purposes as described above. To prohibit the collection and use of data by Firebase Analytics in this app, please object to it by disabling the option “Send anonymous usage data “at the bottom of this data protection statement.
5.4 Collection, processing and use of data with Facebook-SDKs
In this app, we integrate so-called Facebook-SDKs. This software allows a follow-up of the type of advertising campaign in Facebook that prompted users to download our app. To this end, we transmit to Facebook the device-specific advertising ID, the app version and the information that the app was started or cancelled.
You can object to the transfer of the above data to Facebook in this app by deactivating the option “Send anonymous usage data “at the bottom of this data privacy statement.
5.5 Collection, processing and use of data using AppsFlyer
Our application uses the service of AppsFlyer, an analysis service provided by AppsFlyer Inc. (111 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA).

AppsFlyer is certified according to the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection laws.
The legal basis for the use is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
By using our app, you agree to the processing of your data by AppsFlyer and the collection of data for the purposes as described above. To prohibit the collection and use of data by AppsFlyer in this app, please object to it by disabling the option "Send anonymous usage data" at the bottom of the data protection statement.
