Privacy Policy

Moontune takes the privacy of her users seriously and will always strive to protect your privacy and preserve the trust you place in her.

Moontune is owned, operated, and maintained by Moontune LLC (“Moontune”, “us”, or “we”). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that Moontune and/or its third party service providers collect through the Moontune Weather application (“Moontune Weather” or “Application”). Data collected through your use of the Application is governed by this Privacy Policy. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using the Application.

By accessing or using Moontune Weather, you consent to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country you live or use the Application in, you authorize us to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States and any other country where we operate. We may modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time effective upon its posting on Moontune Weather. Your continued use of this Application constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any modifications or updates thereto.

Information Collection and Use

We collect and use your information to provide, understand, and improve Moontune Weather. We only collect and retain as much information as is absolutely necessary for the ongoing operation of our services. This information may include:

Your usage of Moontune Weather features;
Your current location for use in Moontune Weather forecasts and notifications (see Location Information section below for more details);
The type of device you use, the IP address of your device, and your operating system;
Details about your Moontune Weather subscription if you are a subscriber;
Measurement units (e.g., Celsius versus Fahrenheit), Moontune Weather personality settings, and times you do not wish to be disturbed by notifications;
Your unlocked achievements and secret locations in Moontune Weather;
Your anonymized device ID if notifications are enabled in Moontune Weather; and
Your anonymized user ID if notifications are enabled in Moontune Weather.

We use the information we collect to provide weather data and notifications. We also use the information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.

Information cannot be linked to a particular user unless that user manually provides us with their anonymized, randomly-generated device or user ID.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services. Specifically, we retain the following information:

Only your most recent location and associated device and user IDs if you have notifications enabled; and
All support-related communications, including but not limited to user-initiated emails and bug reports.

Location Information

You may opt to grant Moontune Weather access to your current location (“Location Information”) to receive localized weather forecasts. This feature requires access to your device’s current location, even when the Application is not currently running. Where available, location-based services may use GPS, Bluetooth, and your IP Address, along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations, and other technologies to determine your device’s approximate location. Your Location Information will be used to request and display weather data and notifications for your current location.

Location Information is uploaded to our servers if you have notifications enabled in Moontune Weather. Your Location Information is used only to provide localized weather alerts. If you turn off notifications, your Location Information will be removed from our servers.

If you own Moontune Weather for Mac, you may also opt to sync your Location Information with the Mac Application via Apple’s iCloud service. You can turn this feature off at any time.

Your Location Information will be shared automatically with our weather data providers, such as Dark Sky and AccuWeather, when you request weather data for your current location. Your Location Information will also be shared with our weather map data provider, AerisWeather, when you open the weather maps.

If you send a support-related communication, you may opt to include debugging logs with your email. These debugging logs may include Location Information, however the resolution of the GPS coordinates has been reduced to a radius of 1 kilometer to maintain your privacy.

If you are using Moontune Weather for Android, your Location Information may also be used to facilitate, measure, or otherwise support advertising by third parties. Otherwise, your Location Information will never be shared with third parties, such as third party service providers and/or advertisers, except to comply with the law or protect our rights.

Sharing Information

Moontune Weather allows you to share weather forecasts, along with that forecast’s location, through iMessage and social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. Moontune Weather will never automatically share your Location Information to iMessage, social networks, and/or third parties without your consent.

Moontune Weather is in no way responsible for the protection of any Location Information that you choose to share with iMessage and/or social networks. You and such social networks are solely responsible for the protection of such information. Please review any applicable policies and procedures of such social networks before sharing your information therein.

Third-Party Data Processors

Moontune Weather uses third-party services to provide weather and mapping data. Most weather-related data requests are routed through an intermediary server in an effort to prevent any personally identifying data from being passed on to third-party services (the requests that are not routed through an intermediary server are discussed in the next paragraph). In addition, the precision of Location Information is also reduced before being used in weather-related data requests to reduce the likelihood that any single request can be tracked back to a specific user.

Use of Moontune Weather's weather maps feature requires a direct connection to the servers of the mapping data provider, Weather. Signups and logins with personal weather station providers, such as Netatmo and WeatherFlow, also require a direct connection to their respective servers. These services may collect, process, and store information about you, including but not limited to your IP address and Location Information.

Please refer to the privacy policies of these third-party data processors for information regarding their data practices.

Advertising

If you are using Moontune Weather for Android, we may use the information described in this Privacy Policy to help make our advertising more relevant to you or to measure its effectiveness. Your Location Information may also be used to personalize or otherwise support advertising by third parties (e.g., by displaying advertising for local restaurants).

Moontune Weather for iOS does not use your information to increase advertising relevancy or measure effectiveness. Your Location Information will not be shared with third parties.

Aggregated Data Collection

Moontune Weather may automatically collect anonymous information regarding your interaction with, and use of, Moontune Weather. Anonymous information that we may collect includes, but is not limited to, device identifier and hardware information, IP address, system type, and other information about your interactions with the Application. We use this information to operate and improve our Application and customer support. We do not share this anonymous personal information with third parties except to the extent necessary to accomplish Moontune Weather’s functionality. We may share anonymous, aggregate statistics with outside parties, such as how many people use a particular feature in Moontune Weather. Anonymous, aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Website Visitors

As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Moontune may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.

Information Disclosure

We may preserve or disclose your information, including Location Information, if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or request from public and government authorities within or outside your country of residence, such as to comply with a subpoena or for law enforcement purposes; when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others; to address fraud, security, technical issues, or to protect our operations; or if Moontune is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or a portion of its assets.

Security

We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.

Accessing or Deleting Your Information

You may delete your information from our servers at any time using the Moontune Weather iOS app. Go to the settings screen, then to Privacy & Terms to delete your information.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We do not knowingly collect or maintain information on our servers from children under the age of 13. Moontune Weather is designed for users over the age of 13; no part of the Application is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13 and we do not target our Application to children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use or submit any data through the Application. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never use the Application or submit any data through the Application without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided data to us, please contact us and we will endeavor to delete that information from our servers.

Information for European Union Customers

By using Moontune Weather and providing your information, you authorize us to collect, use, and store your information outside of the European Union.

International Transfers of Information

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that we seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using the Application, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer

While we work hard to protect your data, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Transmitting personal information is done at your own risk.

At times it may be necessary for us to make changes to this Privacy Policy such as due to changes in the services we offer, Apple's policies and procedures, and/or the applicable laws of the United States. We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically, especially before you provide any Location Information to Moontune Weather.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated below. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on Moontune Weather. As set forth above, your continued use of the Application after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy shall indicate your acceptance and agreement with the terms of such revised Privacy Policy.

If you have questions about the policies described in this statement, please email us directly at wallpy.appstore@gmail.com
