Privacy

PhotoSignal stores the information needed to provide the app: your account details, saved locations, alert settings, forecast-derived alert results, notification history, and subscription information where applicable.

Information the app may store

• Account information, such as your email address
• Saved photography locations and location settings
• Alert rules, alert activity, and notification state
• Email delivery records used to avoid duplicate or excessive notifications
• Subscription and billing-related information required to manage paid plans
• Basic product analytics, such as created locations, created alerts, sent emails, and limit hits

How this information is used

The app uses this information to run forecast checks, evaluate photography-relevant conditions, send alert emails, prevent repeated notifications, improve the experience, maintain service reliability, and manage subscriptions where applicable.

Forecast and location data

Saved locations are used to request and interpret weather, marine, tide, astronomy, and related forecast data. Forecast data may come from third-party providers and is used only to provide the planning and alerting features of the app.

Email notifications

If email alerts are enabled, the app may send summaries of upcoming forecast windows for your saved locations. Email delivery information may be stored so the app can track what has already been sent and avoid duplicate notifications.

Analytics

Basic usage events may be recorded to understand whether the product is useful and where it needs improvement. Analytics are used for product development and service operation, not for advertising or behavioural profiling.

Third-party services

PhotoSignal relies on third-party services to operate. These may include hosting providers, database services, email delivery providers, payment processors, logging platforms, and forecast-data providers.

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment information is processed by Stripe. PhotoSignal does not store full payment card details.

Data sharing

Personal account data is not sold. Data may be processed by third-party services only as required to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the app.

Data retention and removal

You may delete your account and saved data through the app or by contacting support.

Some records may be retained for a reasonable period where required for security, fraud prevention, operational purposes, legal obligations, or accounting requirements associated with paid subscriptions.
