Privacy notice

How LemmingMeteo handles account information, location requests, cookies and service communications.

Last updated

1. Scope and contact

This notice describes the general handling of information when you use LemmingMeteo. It covers website access, account functions, location requests, saved preferences and service communications. Contact LemmingMeteo using the address below for privacy questions or requests.

2. Information used by the service

The information involved depends on the features you choose:

  • Account details such as email address, an optional username or display name, authentication information and session records.
  • Locations you search for, enter or allow your browser to provide; saved map configurations, preferences and account entitlements where those features are used.
  • Messages you send to LemmingMeteo, optional screenshots and reply email, and any map/browser context you choose to include in feedback.
  • Network and device information needed to deliver requests and protect the service, such as an IP address, requested address, browser information and security events.
  • Order or payment records where an actual transaction or separate commercial relationship exists.

3. Purposes and legal grounds

LemmingMeteo uses information to provide requested forecasts and account features, authenticate access, deliver account emails, maintain saved settings, respond to enquiries, prevent misuse and meet applicable legal obligations.

Where a legal basis is required, the relevant basis depends on the purpose: providing a requested service or performing a contract, legitimate interests such as maintaining security where permitted, compliance with a legal obligation, or consent where consent is required. Permission for optional preferences or browser geolocation is separate from account registration and any paid order.

4. Location, cookies and analytics

Browser geolocation is requested through the browser permission mechanism. You can refuse it and choose a place manually. Location information is used to resolve the relevant forecast. Coordinates entered into a location URL can appear in browser history or be disclosed when that URL is shared.

Essential cookies support account security and remember the cookie choice. Optional preference cookies remember selected settings only when allowed. The current preference choice and optional settings are retained for up to 180 days; the cookie page lets you change that choice.

The public production website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for traffic and performance measurements without analytics cookies. The preference-cookie choice does not switch that analytics service on or off. Cookie-free operation does not mean that no network or device information is processed.

5. Service providers and disclosures

Infrastructure, hosting, security and email services may process information necessary to deliver the relevant feature. Cloudflare provides the analytics described above and Turnstile human verification for public forms. Resend processes recipient addresses and message information needed to deliver verification, recovery and feedback emails, including any screenshots you attach. Feedback is sent to the team mailbox without a separate feedback database.

Information may also be disclosed when legally required or reasonably necessary to protect rights and security. A separate paid order must identify any relevant payment arrangements before payment. Do not send passwords, access tokens or full payment-card details by email.

Service providers may process information outside your country. Applicable transfer requirements remain in force; contact LemmingMeteo for information about the relevant processing locations and arrangements.

6. Retention and security

Information is retained for the period needed for the relevant account or service purpose, security, applicable record-keeping duties and the establishment or defence of legal claims. Different categories can have different retention periods. Deleting a preference cookie does not automatically delete an account or a record that must lawfully be retained.

LemmingMeteo applies access restrictions and other measures appropriate to the service. No internet transmission or storage system can be promised to be completely secure. Protect your credentials and report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

7. Choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent and complain to a competent data-protection authority. Consent withdrawal does not retrospectively invalidate processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Contact LemmingMeteo to make a request. Identity verification and legal exceptions may apply. Account profile and session controls are available in the account area. A parent or guardian may contact LemmingMeteo about information supplied by a child where the law requires parental authorisation.

8. Updates

The date on this notice identifies the current text. Changes to processing will be described here and notified separately where the law requires. A policy update does not substitute for a consent or disclosure required for a new purpose.
