The following table summarizes what categories of personal information that Interactive Weather Limited has collected, disclosed, or sold within the last twelve (12) months.

This Notice of Collection is provided pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA").

We collect the categories of personal information identified below for the business and commercial purposes described. We collect this information directly from you (e.g., when you create an account, subscribe, or contact us), automatically through your use of our app (e.g., device and usage data), and from third parties (e.g., analytics and payment providers).

We use this information to operate, provide, and improve our services, including to:

• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Additional details, including whether we disclose information to service providers or share personal information for business purposes, are provided in the table above.

We do not sell or share personal information for monetary consideration. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA").

Because we do not sell or share your personal information, we do not offer an opt-out mechanism. If our practices change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide you with the opportunity to opt out.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA"), California residents have the right to limit the use and disclosure of "Sensitive Personal Information," as defined in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae).

We do not collect or process Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you, nor do we use Sensitive Personal Information beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide the services you request. Sensitive Personal Information includes data such as precise geolocation, government-issued identifiers, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, genetic data, health information, and information concerning sex life or sexual orientation.

Because we do not use Sensitive Personal Information in this way, we do not offer a mechanism to limit such use. If our practices change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide appropriate notices and options in accordance with applicable law.

11. Cookies and Tracking

We use Fathom Analytics for website analytics and event tracking. Fathom does not use cookies and is designed to provide privacy-preserving measurements such as page views, referrers, browser and device information, and completed events. To generate these measurements and protect its systems, Fathom may temporarily process technical information such as IP address and user-agent data.

We do not use cookies ourselves for analytics, but other third-party providers may use cookies or similar tracking technologies for their own services. See their respective privacy policies for details.
