Privacy Policy

Effective [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated [LAST UPDATED]
Short version We don't run accounts, don't track you, don't collect location, and don't sell anything to third parties. The app fetches public weather data and shows it to you. If you subscribe via the App Store or Google Play, those platforms handle billing — not us.

1. About this Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how [YOUR LEGAL NAME OR ENTITY] ("we", "us", "our") handles personal information in connection with the JetCheck app and related services (the "Service"). It applies whether you use the Service as an installed app, a progressive web app, or via our website.

We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Where applicable, we also handle personal information consistently with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

8. International data transfers

Vercel and Upstash are based in the United States. By using the Service, you understand that your server access logs may transit US-based infrastructure. We rely on standard contractual clauses and the providers' published data-protection commitments as the legal basis for any such transfer.

11. Data security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. However, no system is perfectly secure; you accept that residual risk by using the Service.

12. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as required to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods are listed in clause 3.

13. Changes to this Policy

Lawyer notes: please confirm the Australian Privacy Act / APP language is current. The "what we collect" table is the source of truth for the App Store Privacy Nutrition Label — keep them in lockstep. If a future feature collects more (e.g. email signup, account system), this Policy and the nutrition label must be updated before release.
