1. What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how JC Studio ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use Grabrella (the "App"), including its Android home widget and live wallpaper. Grabrella does not require an account.
2. Information processed
- Location. If you choose "Use current location," the App requests foreground location permission and processes your approximate or precise coordinates to find local weather and a place label. You can instead search for and save a city without granting location permission.
- City searches and weather requests. Search text, coordinates, language, and basic network information such as IP address are sent to weather and geocoding providers so they can return results.
- App settings. Saved cities, units, language, visual style, widget preferences, and wallpaper settings are stored locally on your device.
- Ads and consent. If ads are available, Google Mobile Ads may process advertising identifiers, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, diagnostics, and your consent choices. We do not intentionally send your GPS coordinates to the advertising SDK. Where required, you can choose whether eligible ads are personalized.
- Purchases. Google Play and RevenueCat may process purchase history, product identifiers, transaction status, App User ID, device/app information, and diagnostics to complete purchases, restore access, prevent fraud, and maintain subscription entitlements. We do not receive your full payment card details.
3. How information is used
We use the information above to provide local forecasts, city search, air-quality information, widgets and wallpaper; remember your settings; unlock paid features and restore purchases; show optional ads and honor consent choices; troubleshoot failures; protect the App; and comply with legal obligations.
4. Services that process information
Grabrella uses service providers acting under their own terms and privacy policies:
- Open-Meteo for weather, air quality, and some city-search results.
- Photon/Komoot and OpenStreetMap services for multilingual city search and place labels.
- Google for Google Play services, billing, consent management, and mobile advertising.
- RevenueCat for subscription status and purchase entitlement management.
These providers may process data in countries other than yours. Their handling of information is governed by their own policies.
5. Permissions
- Location: used only while the App is in use and only after you grant permission.
- Internet: required to retrieve forecasts, search cities, serve eligible ads, and verify purchases.
- Wallpaper service: lets Android display Grabrella as a live wallpaper. It does not grant access to your photos.
6. Storage and retention
Local settings remain on your device until you remove them, clear App data, or uninstall the App. Third-party providers retain information under their own policies. Purchase and entitlement records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide access, prevent fraud, meet accounting or legal duties, and resolve disputes.
7. Your choices
- Use a searched city instead of device location, or revoke location permission in Android settings.
- Review eligible advertising privacy choices when the consent form is offered in the App.
- Reset or limit your device advertising identifier through Android settings.
- Manage or cancel a subscription in Google Play and use "Restore purchases" in the App.
- Clear local information by clearing App storage or uninstalling Grabrella.
8. Children
Grabrella is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in their country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the issue.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
10. No in-app account
Grabrella currently has no user account system, so there is no separate account to delete. You can remove locally stored App data through Android settings or by uninstalling. Google Play purchase records are controlled by Google; subscription access questions can be sent to us.
11. Changes
We may update this policy when the App, providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the new effective date on this page and provide additional notice when required.
