Security questions you should use to protect your account

At imeteo.in, we provides detailed, real-time weather information - updated hourly and monthly, from villages to cities across India - we are committed to protecting your personal information with utmost seriousness and transparency. 

What Information We Collect

When you use imeteo.in, we may collect some information to provide you with the best service. This includes:

• Information you provide directly: If you sign up for weather alerts via email or SMS, we may ask you for your email address, phone number, or location details (like your village, district, or state) that you want to track. This information helps us personalise your experience.
• Automatically collected information: When you visit our website, we might use technologies like cookies, server logs, and analytics tools to collect data such as your IP address, device type, browser, time of access, and pages you've viewed. This helps us improve our website's performance and better understand user needs.
• Location information: To give you accurate weather forecasts for your specific area, we may request access to your device's location (if you agree). This is an optional feature, and you can switch it off at any time.

We are committed to collecting only the information necessary for providing our weather services and will not ask for any irrelevant sensitive information.

How We Use Your Information

The information imeteo.in collects is used for the following purposes:

• Providing weather services: Your location or selected area data helps us send you accurate, updated weather forecasts by the hour, day, or month.
• Improving user experience: We analyse user behaviour to optimise the interface, page load speed, and website features, ensuring you have the smoothest possible experience.
• Sending notifications: If you sign up for alerts, we'll use your email or phone number to send you warnings about extreme weather (like storms or floods) or requested weather updates.
• Research and development: Aggregated data (not linked to any specific individual) is used to research weather trends and develop new features, such as future air quality forecasts or UV indices.

We do not use your information for unrelated commercial purposes or sell your data to third parties without your explicit consent.

How We Share Information

imeteo.in values your privacy and only shares information in specific cases:

• With your consent: We won't share personal information unless you permit it, such as when you ask us to send information to another service.
• With technical partners: We work with service providers (like server hosts and analytics tools) to run our website. These partners are only allowed to process data as per our instructions and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
• As per legal requirements: In case we are requested by a legal authority or to protect imeteo.in’s legitimate interests, we may disclose information as required by law.

Other than these instances, your information will not be shared with any third party.

How We Secure Your Information

We use advanced technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Some security measures we implement include:

• Data encryption: Sensitive information (like email addresses or phone numbers) is encrypted during transmission and storage.
• Access restriction: Only authorised staff can access your data, and they must strictly follow our internal privacy policies.
• System monitoring: We regularly check and update our systems to detect and prevent cybersecurity threats.

Even so, no system can guarantee absolute security. In case of a security breach, we will inform you promptly and take the fastest possible corrective measures.
