Simple and clear — just like the app.
TripWeather is developed and operated by Appyculteur, a sole proprietorship (micro-entreprise) registered in France.
For the purposes of EU data protection law, Appyculteur is the data controller responsible for your personal data when you use TripWeather.
Our philosophy: We collect the minimum data required to make the app work. We do not sell your data. We never will.
| Data | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous usage events (screen views, feature taps) | Firebase Analytics | Understand which features are used; improve the app |
| Crash reports and error logs | Firebase Crashlytics | Fix bugs and maintain app stability |
| Anonymous session identifier | Firebase Auth (anonymous) | Save itineraries locally without requiring sign-in |
| Device type, OS version, language | Firebase Analytics | Ensure compatibility across Android devices |
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Providing the app's core functionality (itineraries, weather, notifications) | Contract performance — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Syncing your data across devices (Google Sign-In users) | Contract performance — Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Crash detection and bug fixing | Legitimate interest — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Anonymous usage analytics to improve the app | Legitimate interest — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Sending beta launch notifications (waitlist) | Consent — Art. 6(1)(a) |
TripWeather uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy.
Used for authentication, database (Firestore), analytics, and crash reporting. Firebase may process data on servers in the United States and/or the EEA. Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
Used to fetch weather forecasts for the cities in your itinerary. We send only city names and date ranges — no personal identifiers.
Visual Crossing Privacy Policy →
Used to autocomplete city names when you build an itinerary. Only your text input (city search query) is sent to Google. No personal data is transmitted.
In-app purchases (the Premium unlock at €5.99) are processed entirely by Google Play. Appyculteur never sees or stores your payment information.
No advertising networks. TripWeather contains no ads and integrates no advertising SDKs. Your data is never shared with or sold to advertisers.
Your itineraries and account data are retained in Firebase Firestore for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the Settings screen in the app.
If you use TripWeather without signing in, your data is stored locally via Firebase anonymous authentication. Firebase may automatically purge anonymous accounts inactive for an extended period. Your data is tied to the device and cannot be recovered if you uninstall the app.
Firebase Analytics event data is retained for 14 months. Crashlytics reports are retained for 90 days. Both are aggregated and anonymized.
Waitlist email addresses are retained only until the app launches. After launch, we will send one notification and then delete your email unless you explicitly opt in to further communications.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@appyculteur.com. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In France, this is the CNIL.
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data:
No system is 100% secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately at hello@appyculteur.com.
TripWeather is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you via an in-app notice.
Continued use of TripWeather after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
