Privacy Policy

WeatherNavigator
Last updated: 19 July 2026

Overview

WeatherNavigator ("the App") is developed by Symbiotek Pty Ltd and is available for iOS (via the Apple App Store) and Android (via Google Play). We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your choices. It applies to both the iOS and Android versions except where a platform is stated.

Data We Collect

Location Data

The App uses your device's location to provide weather-aware navigation. Location data is used in real time to:

Show your position on the map
Calculate routes and estimated arrival times
Fetch weather conditions along your route
Deliver timely weather alerts while driving

Location data is processed locally on your device and sent to third-party weather services (see below) only as geographic coordinates to retrieve forecasts. We do not store your location history on any server.

Microphone and Speech

If you use Skye voice commands, the App accesses your microphone to process spoken input. Speech recognition may use your device platform's recognition service (Apple's on-device or server-side recognition on iOS; Google's speech recognition on Android) to convert your voice to text. Voice audio is not stored or transmitted to our servers.

Saved Routes

Routes you save (origin, destination, name) are stored locally on your device in the App's private storage. This data is not transmitted externally.

Driver Profile

The App builds a local behavioural profile (e.g. preferred alert verbosity, trip count) to personalise your experience. This profile is stored entirely on your device and is never uploaded.

Subscription Data

In-app purchases and subscriptions are managed by the platform's store: Apple's StoreKit on iOS, and Google Play Billing on Android. We do not collect or have access to your payment information. A local record of your subscription status is stored on your device.

Third-Party Services

The App connects to the following services to provide weather and AI features:

Service	Data Sent	Purpose
OpenWeatherMap	Geographic coordinates	Current weather, forecasts, radar tiles
Open-Meteo	Geographic coordinates	ECMWF weather forecasts
Bureau of Meteorology (Australia)	Geographic region	Severe weather warnings
US National Weather Service	Geographic region	US weather alerts
Anthropic Claude API	Route/weather context (no personal data)	Skye AI driving assistant responses
Google Maps Platform (Android only)	Geographic coordinates, place search queries	Map display, routing, and place search on Android (the iOS version uses Apple Maps)

No personally identifiable information (name, email, device ID) is sent to any of these services.

What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information
We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
We do not collect crash reports or telemetry
We do not share or sell any data to third parties
We do not track you across apps or websites

Data Storage

All user data (saved routes, preferences, driver profile, subscription status) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate any servers that store your personal data.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The App is a navigation tool and does not target children.

Your Choices

Location: You can revoke location access at any time (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Location Services; Android: Settings > Apps > WeatherNavigator > Permissions). The App requires location access to function.
Microphone: You can revoke microphone access (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Microphone; Android: Settings > Apps > WeatherNavigator > Permissions). Voice commands will be unavailable, but all other features will work.
Saved Routes: You can delete saved routes within the App at any time.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
