baro-me — privacy policy

the short version

baro-me is built by one person (hi, I'm Amy) and I have no interest in your personal data. This app exists to help people like me and my mom understand how barometric pressure affects us. That's it.

There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking scripts, and no data sold to anyone. Ever.

what stays on your device

If you don't sign in, everything stays on your device and nothing is sent anywhere:

Your zip code
Weather readings (auto-deleted after 30 days)
Your logged events and patterns
Your app settings

what's stored in the cloud (only if you sign in)

If you choose to sign in for cross-device sync, the following is stored in Google Firebase:

Your email address (for authentication)
Your logged events with the weather conditions at the time (pressure, temperature, humidity)

Your zip code is never sent to the cloud. Weather readings are never synced. Only your symptom logs are synced so they can appear on your other devices.

third-party services

WeatherAPI.com — provides weather data. Your zip code is sent to their API to fetch local conditions. See their privacy policy.
Google Firebase — provides authentication and cloud storage (only if you sign in). See Google's privacy policy.

what I can see

If you sign in, I could technically view the Firebase database and see user accounts and their symptom logs. I want to be honest about that. I don't look at individual accounts, but I want you to know it's possible.

What I cannot see: your zip code, your weather readings, your device information, or anything about how you use the app.

deleting your data

You can delete everything at any time:

Clear all data (in settings) — wipes your local device data
Delete my account & data (in settings) — permanently removes your cloud data and Firebase account

Both options are instant and irreversible. Once deleted, your data is gone.

changes to this policy

If anything changes, I'll update this page. This is a small app made by one person, so there's no legalese — just honesty about what the app does with your information.
