Privacy Policy for WindSpots

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Introduction

WindSpots is published by Make Algo. We respect your privacy: the app works without an account and keeps your data on your device. This policy explains what the app handles and why.

Data We Collect

Your Spots and Preferences

• The spots you save (name and coordinates), your groups, units and language are stored locally on your device
• We do not run servers that store this data and we do not share it with anyone
• If you export your spots, the file is created on your device and goes wherever you choose to send it

Location Data

• Location access is optional. If you grant it, your current position is used on your device to suggest nearby spots and to centre the map when you place a spot
• Your location is never stored by the app and never sent to us

Forecast Requests

• To show a forecast, the app sends the coordinates of each saved spot to Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com)
• These requests contain the spot's coordinates and your chosen units only. They carry no account, name or other identifier
• Like any web service, Open-Meteo receives your IP address when the request is made. See Open-Meteo's privacy policy

Analytics

• We may use Amplitude Analytics to understand how the app is used and improve it
• The following device and app information may be collected: device type, operating system and version, app version, language and region, and app events such as adding a spot
• Analytics data is sent to Amplitude's EU data center and processed under European data protection standards
• No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected through analytics
• You may opt out of analytics by contacting us

How We Use Your Data

• Showing weather forecasts for your saved spots
• Suggesting spots near you, if you allow location access
• Improving app performance and fixing bugs

Data Storage and Deletion

• Your data stays on your device
• You can delete individual spots and groups in the app, or remove all app data by uninstalling the app

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to request its transfer, and to withdraw consent. Because the app keeps your data on your device, most of these rights can be exercised directly in the app. For anything else, contact us.

Third-Party Services

• Open-Meteo for weather forecasts (CC BY 4.0)
• Apple Maps (MapKit) to display the map when you place a spot
• Amplitude Analytics (EU data center) for anonymous usage analytics
• Apple for app distribution

Children's Privacy

The app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
