Privacy Policy

1. Overview

At HotterThan, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our mobile application (“Application”) or website. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

2. Information Collection and Use

We do not collect or share personal data beyond what is strictly necessary to operate and provide the functionality of the Application:

• Location Data: To display weather comparisons and HotScores for your current location, the Application requests permission to access your device’s location. Location data is processed locally or requested on-demand to retrieve meteorological data from weather services and is not stored or tracked continuously by us.
• Saved Cities / App Preferences: Cities you choose to add or favorite are stored locally on your device or via standard cloud synchronization services linked to your App Store account (such as iCloud).
• Anonymized Analytics & Diagnostics: We may receive basic, non-personally identifiable diagnostic or crash data provided automatically by Apple to help us maintain stability and troubleshoot issues.

3. Weather Data Services

Weather and climatological data used within the Application are powered by Apple Weather data (WeatherKit) and related historical meteorological databases. Request queries to weather services may contain location coordinates required to fetch temperature readings for your specified area.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not integrate third-party advertising networks or user-tracking SDKs. Any purchases, subscriptions, or app deployments are processed securely by Apple through the App Store according to Apple’s standard Privacy Policy.

5. Reporting Issues & Contact

If you encounter bugs, data inaccuracies, or have questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please report any issues directly through the in-app support interface or feedback settings provided within HotterThan.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
