Privacy policy
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using Bahrain Weather App. When You use Bahrain Weather App, you consent to the os-legal terms and conditions and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
It applies to you, if you access Bahrain Weather App directly, through a third-party or by other means. It takes precedence over any conflicting terms published by a third-party regarding your access or use of Bahrain Weather App.
The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT) is committed to the protection and privacy of any information that the Bahrain Weather App might use. By using the application, you agree to the following terms:
Personal Data: The app does not collect, use or transmit any personal data.
Sensitive Data: The app uses information from your device in certain areas of the application to fulfill the app functionality and provide the best services possible. MTT uses this information to fulfill requests and answer queries, and to review and consider any enquiries that are submitted.
- Location Data: this is related to the application user’s location. The app is using the user’s device (not precise) location to:
- Locate the nearest Bahrain weather station.
- Show correct maps views in Visual Weather and Satellite/Radar screens.
- Locate the nearest big city to show forecasts for the World Weather screen.
The app only uses location data when you are using the app, not when the app is running in the background.
The app never transmits or stores the user's location. When requesting weather forecast from the third party APIs (Apple’s WeatherKit) in our app, we are sending the GPS coordinates of the located nearest city, not the user’s precise location. This way we do not share the user’s precise location or any other sensitive data with a third party.
- Device ID: The app collects, sends and stores the Device ID for Push Notifications delivery. This ID is not linked with any personal or sensitive data in any way.
- Google Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics are used for app performance and stability and activity monitoring. Only the standard features of Analytics are being used, no advertising or marketing features.
