Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 23, 2026
Introduction
Kinetic Origin LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Vibe Weather application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
By using Vibe Weather, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
Location Data
With your permission, we collect your device's location to provide accurate weather forecasts for your area. Location data is:
- Only accessed when you grant permission
- Used solely to fetch weather data for your location
- Not stored on our servers
- Not shared with third parties for marketing purposes
App Preferences
We store your app preferences locally on your device, including:
- Selected personality style
- Theme preferences (light/dark mode)
- Temperature unit preference
- Refresh interval settings
- Premium status
This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Purchase Information
If you purchase Vibe Weather Premium, the transaction is processed by the respective app store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Microsoft Store). We do not collect or store your payment information. We only receive confirmation of your purchase status from the store.
Third-Party Services
Our App uses the following third-party services:
Weather Data Provider
We use a third-party weather API to fetch current weather conditions and forecasts. Your approximate location (latitude and longitude) is sent to this service to retrieve weather data. No personally identifiable information is shared.
AI Language Model
We use an AI service to generate personalized weather descriptions ("vibes"). Only weather data and your selected personality preference are sent to this service. No personal information or location data is shared with the AI provider.
App Stores
Purchases are processed through Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Microsoft Store depending on your platform. These services have their own privacy policies.
Data Storage and Security
All user preferences and settings are stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms provided by your operating system. We do not maintain user accounts or store personal data on external servers.
Children's Privacy
Our App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Deny location permissions (the app will still work with manual location entry)
- Delete all local app data by uninstalling the application
- Request information about what data we process
