The short, honest version.

01What is collected

Aircaster collects only what it needs to do its job. That's three things:

• Your account email. Used to sign you in and to sync your saved places and alert settings across your devices. That's the one piece of personal information tied to your account.
• The locations you choose to track. The places you pin — by name or coordinates — so the app can fetch air-quality, pollen, and weather data for them and send the alerts you asked for.
• Basic app diagnostics. Anonymous, aggregate information like app version, device type, and crash reports, so I can fix bugs and keep the app stable. This isn't tied to your identity beyond what's needed to deliver your notifications.

That's the whole list. There is no profile-building, no behavioral tracking, and no hidden data collection running in the background.

02Why it's collected

Each item maps to a single, concrete purpose:

• Email → sign you in and keep your places and preferences in sync.
• Tracked locations → fetch the readings for those places and send the alerts you set up.
• Diagnostics → find and fix crashes and keep the app reliable.

If a piece of data doesn't serve one of these purposes, it isn't collected.

03What is never done

Just as important as what's collected is what isn't:

• Your data is never sold. Not to anyone, in any form, ever.
• Your data is never shared for marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to running the app.
• No advertising networks. Aircaster contains no ads and no ad-related SDKs.
• No third-party trackers or analytics services watching what you do inside the app.

04Location data

Aircaster only knows about the locations you add. If you let the app use your device location to add your current spot, it's used to fetch nearby readings — it isn't logged as a movement history or used to track where you go.

You can remove any pinned location at any time inside the app, and you can deny or revoke location permission entirely through your Android settings; the app still works with places you type in manually.

05Keeping & deleting your data

Your account email, pinned locations, and alert settings are kept for as long as you have an account, so the app can keep working the way you set it up. Diagnostic data is kept only as long as it's useful for fixing problems, then discarded.

Deleting your account and data

You're in control. To delete your account and everything associated with it, email support@aircaster.app from (or mentioning) the address on your account. Your account, saved places, and settings will be removed. Because this is a small project run by one person, please allow a few days — you'll get a confirmation when it's done.

06Children

Aircaster isn't designed for or directed at children, and it doesn't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, email support@aircaster.app and it'll be removed.

07Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top will change with it. Since Aircaster is a small project, changes are likely to be small too — but anything meaningful will be reflected here, and significant changes may also be noted in the app.

08Contact

Privacy question, deletion request, or anything that doesn't sit right — write in. One inbox, read by one person.
