Core Principles
Swackett provides a visual weather forecasting service. Our hope is that you will delighted by our innovative forecasts.
While we want our users to gain the greatest benefit from our forecasts, we take your privacy very seriously. Security and privacy are designed into the core of all our products.
Swackett apps (version 5 and greater) are fully compliant with the Data Protection Act (DPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our privacy policy is driven by these core principles:
- We get it. We view your privacy as a fundamental human right. We protect your privacy in all modern Swackett apps.
- Swackett apps DO NOT collect, store or manage any personally identifiable information about you.
- In order for Swackett to provide a visual weather forecast, our apps need to know the location for which you want a forecast (to be able to provide a forecast of real value to you).
- Respecting your privacy, we do not share the location of your weather forecasts with any third parties. We do not sell this information.
- While Swackett apps do allow you to share peeps, gauges and other Swackett screens to social media — this is achieved using the operating system on your device (not a direct connection).
- Swackett apps DO NOT directly connect to any social media service. Swackett apps DO NOT connect to the Facebook Graph API (or any other similar type of tracking API).
- Our Users own their app settings (called personalizations in Swackett) which are embedded in the Swackett app. These settings can be discarded by simply deleting the app.
- Our Users own any feedback and/or technical support related conversations (logged in the Swackett Support Center).
- We do not provide any third parties with personally identifiable information about our users (with the exception of responding to legal process).
- Any User may request to have all of their feedback and technical support data deleted at any time. This process can take up to 30 days (but is usually completed much faster).
Our privacy policy is reviewed at regular intervals to ensure it meets the current statutory requirements.
