Services we provide and the general scope of processing of personal data

  1. Services. The company provides a global weather tracking and forecasting application, which can be customized to a certain extent according to Users’ preferences on their own devices through the Website and the App. The Users may also contribute to the Services by adding their own camera and/or weather station, which will then provide more relevant local information to us as well as to other users. The Users may also decide to register, and in such case, personal settings are saved in the profile and synchronized across devices used with that account. The Windy Stations, and API Services are provided only to registered users. The content shared through the Community Service can also be accessed by non-registered Users, but only after registration any content can be added. The Services are offered both for free and for subscription. Users with subscription can use a wider range of tools and are offered with extra features such as 1-hour forecast view, 10-day forecast outlook, forecast updates at least 4 times a day, more detailed forecast maps, unlimited Favorites and Alerts, 12-hour loop for Radar and Satellite, Satellite archive and many others as currently offered and provided.

  2. Legal grounds for personal data processing. Our processing of your personal data will typically be based on one of the following processing legal bases:

    • because we need to process your data in order to provide you with the Services or a particular feature of the Services, i.e. to perform our contract (meaning also an informal relationship) with you. You can find the full wording of the contract/relationship you conclude with us by using the Services in respective Terms of Use (accessible via our website);

    • because such processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued either by us or by a third party and such legitimate interests are not overridden by your privacy or related rights as an individual. Our legitimate interests include e.g. the necessary maintenance of our infrastructure, statistical analysis of the use of the Services, and protection of our legally protected rights;

    • because we are legally obliged to do so, for example, we are called upon to disclose your personal data to public authorities; or

    • because you have provided us with your specific, informed, freely-given, and unambiguous consent; we may periodically ask for your further consent to use your personal data for certain specific reasons.

  3. Scope of processed personal data. In order to provide and maximize your experience with the Services, we may need to collect and use certain information from our Users, some of which could be considered ‘personal data’ within the meaning of the GDPR or other relevant privacy legislation applicable in your country. If we can use the information, alone or in combination, to reasonably identify you as an individual, we treat the information as personal data.

    Please note that you may choose to provide us with certain optional or additional information when you interact with the Services, in particular, in the following ways:

    • Send us an email message to receive additional information – for example, you might email us with a question and we will use your email address to respond to your inquiry;

    • Submit a comment or other content like feedback and suggestions to make our services more accurate or valid (e.g. reports relating to webcams such as wrong location, poor image quality, other issue, etc. – such information is manually reviewed), or send us a photo or video – for example, you might submit a cool photo of a weather event you experienced that we may post on the Services so others can enjoy it.

      Special Note about Content Submissions. The Services may offer areas (community, articles) where you and other users can post or otherwise submit information, photos, videos, graphics, creative suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts, information, ratings, or other materials on or to the Services (collectively, "Submissions"). Any geolocation information, tags, or other metadata in such Submissions may become publicly available. Any information, including personal data, in your Submissions can be read, collected and used by others. We cannot control and are not responsible for how others may use the information contained in your Submissions;
