Privacy Policy — MausamViks

Last updated: October 11, 2026

MausamViks(“we”, “our”, or “the App”) provides hyper-local 10-day rainfall and weather forecasts. We are committed to protecting your privacy and minimizing data collection.

1. No Account or Registration Required

MausamViks does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.

2. Location Data We Process

To display local rainfall and sky forecasts relevant to your area, the App may request access to your device's foreground location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) or process place names that you manually search.

• How it is used: Your geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our weather API solely to retrieve the 10-day weather forecast for your grid cell.
• No background tracking: The App only accesses location while it is open in the foreground and when you choose to use device GPS.
• No persistent storage or profiling: Coordinates are rounded to regional weather grid cells for short-term forecast caching and are never linked to your identity, device ID, or advertising profiles.

3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. Geographic coordinates or place search queries are processed only through weather and geocoding providers (Jalviks Weather Forecasting API, Open-Meteo, and OpenStreetMap/Google Geocoding) strictly to return forecast and location search results.

4. Managing Your Permissions

Granting location permission is optional. You can use MausamViks with preset regional locations or manual city search without granting GPS access, and you may revoke location permissions at any time in your device's system settings.
