Gecko Weather Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Eivrad LLC ("we") handles user information in the app "Gecko Weather" (the "App") as follows.

Data deletion: to request deletion, or to see how long each type of data is kept, see “How to request data deletion, and how long data is kept”.

1. Information and purpose: Location (latitude/longitude) is used to show local weather and the name of your area. If permission is declined, the App works with Tokyo as the default area. To show the name of your location or a chosen place, and to look up an area you search for, the App uses your device's built-in geocoding service; the coordinates (before any rounding) or the place name you enter may be sent to the operating system provider's service (Apple on iOS, Google or another provider on Android), whose privacy policy applies. Your preferred name, pets (reptiles, dogs, cats), meal and care records, notification settings, and selected photo are stored on your device for display, reminders, and backup. Your last measured location, saved and selected areas (coordinates and place names), and forecasts (including for widgets) are also stored on your device for display.
2. Weather data: When weather is requested, the App (including its home-screen widgets) sends the coordinates of the selected area or your location, rounded to an area of about 5 km (0.05 degrees), to a weather relay server operated by us (eivrad.com). Network information such as your IP address also reaches the relay as part of the connection. The relay uses only the rounded coordinates to fetch the forecast from Open-Meteo and returns it to the App. We send Open-Meteo only the rounded coordinates, but because of how Cloudflare forwards the request, a request header may include your IP address. Open-Meteo's handling is governed by the Open-Meteo terms. We use the rounded coordinates and IP address only to fetch the forecast and to prevent excessive requests (per-IP rate limiting); apart from short-lived rate-limit counters, our relay program does not log or store them (for connection records kept by our processor Cloudflare, see “How to request data deletion, and how long data is kept”). To reduce traffic, the forecast for each rounded area is cached on the relay for up to 15 minutes; the cache holds only the rounded coordinates and the forecast, not your IP address or anything that identifies you. The relay runs on Cloudflare, Inc., which processes this traffic on our behalf as a processor; see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy. Your preferred name, pet data, meal and care records, and photos are not sent. The rain radar (available for places in Japan only) opens the Japan Meteorological Agency web page in your device's browser; that page is governed by the JMA website's own terms. Cloudflare, Inc. (our relay processor) and RevenueCat, Inc. (purchases) are based in the United States, and Open-Meteo is based in Switzerland.
3. Purchases and subscriptions: Apple App Store or Google Play and RevenueCat process purchases, receipt validation, restoration, and entitlement status. RevenueCat processes an anonymous App User ID, a per-device identifier (IDFV on iOS), purchase history, receipts or purchase tokens, and device/network technical information. We do not receive payment-card details. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
4. Storage and backups: We do not store your location, preferred name, pet data, meal and care records, or photos on our own servers (the weather relay only caches forecasts for rounded areas, as described in item 2). JSON/CSV backups are written only to a destination you choose. Depending on your device settings, the App's data may be included in operating-system backups (iCloud or Google backup), which are handled by those providers. How to delete data, and how long each type of data is kept, are described in the next item, “How to request data deletion, and how long data is kept”.
5. How to request data deletion, and how long data is kept: Eivrad LLC accepts requests to delete data from the app "Gecko Weather" as follows. The App has no accounts, and we do not store pet or record data on our servers. The data we delete at your request is the purchase record held by RevenueCat, which we use to process purchases. You can delete the data on your device yourself. How each type of data is deleted and how long it is kept are listed below. Deletion requests are free of charge.

   Steps to request deletion of purchase data (RevenueCat records)

   1. To stop being charged, cancel your subscription first. Deleting your data or deleting the App does not cancel it. You can cancel on the App Store subscriptions page or the Google Play subscriptions page. While the App shows Premium as active on this device, you can also open it in the App under Settings → Care Premium → "Manage or cancel subscription". After you cancel, Premium stays available until the end of the paid period, but if your record is deleted during that period, Premium may stop working on this device. We recommend sending your request after the period ends.
   2. Find the order number of your purchase. For the App Store, it is the Order ID shown in Apple's receipt email or in your purchase history at reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google Play, it is the order number starting with "GPA." shown in Google's order confirmation email or under Activity in the Google payments center. The App does not display a user ID, so we use the order number to find your record.
   3. Open the contact form and select "個人情報の開示等のご請求" (Requests concerning personal information) as the Subject. In the Message, write that you want your Gecko Weather purchase data deleted, the store you bought from (App Store or Google Play), and the order number, then submit the form.
   4. We will confirm receipt by email to the address you entered (usually within three business days). To confirm that the purchase is yours, we may ask for something such as an image of the receipt email; if so, please hide your payment method and address before sending it.
   5. Without delay, and no later than 30 days after we confirm that the purchase is yours, we will delete the matching record from RevenueCat and let you know by email when it is done. If we cannot find or cannot delete the record, we will tell you so and why.

   What a request deletes: the data at RevenueCat linked to that purchase: the anonymous App User ID, the per-device identifier (IDFV on iOS), purchase history, receipts or purchase tokens, and device/network technical information.
   What remains after a request: purchase records held by the App Store and Google Play (under each store's policies); your order number in our accounting records, if they contain it (see the list below); our correspondence with you about the request (for one year after it is closed); and aggregated data that RevenueCat has made non-identifiable.

   Deletion covers the records RevenueCat holds at the time of your request. If you use the App, reinstall it, or tap "Restore purchases" after deletion, RevenueCat may create a record again and import your store purchase history (on Google Play, a subscription with time remaining may be imported automatically after you reinstall). If you have made a purchase on Android, the anonymous ID is also saved to your Google account's backup (Block Store), and the same ID may be used again after you reinstall. To keep a record from being created again, delete the App before sending your request, and do not reinstall it or tap "Restore purchases" afterwards.

   Even if you have never made a purchase, using the App creates a record with an anonymous ID at RevenueCat (without purchase history). This record has no order number, so we cannot identify which record is yours and cannot delete it individually on request. Deleting the App removes the anonymous ID from your device (unless it is restored from an operating-system backup).

   Where each type of data is kept, how it is deleted, and for how long

   Purchase data (RevenueCat)

   What: anonymous App User ID, per-device identifier (IDFV on iOS), purchase history, receipts or purchase tokens, and device/network technical information (Google Play categories: Purchase history; Device or other IDs).
   How long: unless you ask us to delete it, it is kept at RevenueCat (United States) for as long as we use RevenueCat, to provide subscriptions, restore purchases, and analyse purchases to improve the service.
   Deletion: if you have made a purchase, request deletion using the steps above. Records with an anonymous ID and no purchase cannot be deleted individually, as explained above. Aggregated data that RevenueCat has made non-identifiable may remain after deletion. RevenueCat does not publish how long deleted data remains in its backups.

   Data on your device

   What: your preferred name, pets, meal and care records, photos, settings such as notifications, saved and selected areas (coordinates and place names), your last measured location (coordinates and place name), and cached forecasts (including the location and weather stored for widgets).
   Where: on your device. We do not store it on our servers.
   Deletion: you can delete pets, meal and care records, saved areas, and your preferred name individually in the App. Your last measured location, cached forecasts, and widget data cannot be deleted in the App. The App has no "delete all" function, and photo files may remain on the device after you delete a pet or remove a photo. To erase everything, including photos, delete the App. Delete exported JSON/CSV files yourself from wherever you saved them.
   How long: on your device until you delete it or delete the App.

   Operating-system backups

   What: App data included in iCloud or Google backups, depending on your device settings (the "Data on your device" above, including unrounded coordinates). If you have made a purchase on Android, RevenueCat's anonymous ID is also saved to your Google account's backup (Block Store).
   Deletion: in iCloud, you can exclude the App from backups or delete existing backups. Google backups are deleted per device and, including Block Store, are handled under Google's policies. We do not receive these backups and cannot delete them.
   How long: according to each provider's policies. Existing backups may remain after you delete the App.

   Weather relay (operated by us)

   What: rounded coordinates and IP address (Google Play category: Approximate location).
   How long: our relay program does not log your IP address or coordinates. To prevent excessive requests, it counts requests per IP address in 60-second windows. Forecasts are cached for each rounded area for up to 15 minutes (normally never past midnight local time in that area); the cache holds only the rounded coordinates and the forecast, not your IP address or anything that identifies you. Expired entries are not used.
   Deletion: we store nothing per user, so there is nothing to delete individually.

   Cloudflare (infrastructure for the relay and the contact form; United States)

   What: connection records such as IP addresses and requested URLs (which may include rounded coordinates).
   How long: in the analytics and log features we use at Cloudflare, our processor, these records remain for up to 7 days, after which we can no longer access them. Cloudflare's own handling follows the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
   Deletion: we cannot delete these records individually.

   Open-Meteo (forecasts; Switzerland)

   What: rounded coordinates. Because of how Cloudflare forwards the request, a request header may include your IP address.
   How long: under Open-Meteo's terms, it keeps request logs, including IP addresses and URLs, to monitor use of its paid API, and removes individual log files after 90 days.
   Deletion: we cannot delete Open-Meteo's logs individually; the Open-Meteo terms apply.

   Place-name lookup (Apple, Google, etc.)

   What: coordinates before rounding, or the place name you enter (Google Play categories: Approximate location; In-app search history).
   Storage and deletion: these are sent from your device to the operating-system provider; we do not receive them. Each provider's policies apply (Apple, Google).

   App Store and Google Play purchase records

   What: purchase history and payment records held by Apple and Google.
   Storage and deletion: we cannot delete store purchase records. Each store's policies apply (Apple, Google). If sales reports we keep as accounting records contain your order number, those records are kept for 10 years after the books for that period are closed, as required by Japanese law (including the Companies Act), and are not deleted on request.

   Inquiries, including deletion requests

   What: name, email address, company (optional), subject, message (including the order number), the country the form was sent from, and any images you send to confirm a purchase. To block abusive submissions, your IP address and similar information are sent to Cloudflare when you submit the form.
   Where: our email inbox. Notification emails are sent through Resend, Inc. (United States).
   How long: deleted without delay once one year has passed after we finish handling your request, unless the law requires us to keep it. According to Resend, its sending records are deleted after 30 days (backups after 7 days). Requests for disclosure or deletion are handled as described in our Privacy Policy (Japanese).

6. Ads and tracking: The App uses no advertising SDK and does not track users for advertising. RevenueCat purchase analytics are used to provide and improve subscriptions. We do not sell user information except where disclosure is required by law.
