Gutebad app privacy policy
General
Gutebad gets all its information about the weather, water temperature and algal bloom from the people who use the app. Anyone can see the latest reports for each bathing place, but only people who are at the bathing place can submit a report.
The app also shows a weather forecast for each bathing place, based on data from SMHI (the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute). The app interprets this data before showing it, so any errors or inconsistencies are caused by that interpretation and not by the SMHI data.
The app also shows the bathing places on a map.
Collected data
The app uses and collects:
- The device's location, but only if the user has explicitly allowed it. The location is used to verify that the user is at the bathing place when submitting a report.
- The IP address and a device ID. These are used for statistics on the number of unique users and to prevent misuse.
Data retention and sharing
All collected data is deleted after 24 hours.
No data is shared with anyone else. No third party is involved in collecting the data, and the app does not use advertising or third-party analytics.
Usage and permissions
The user must give permission before the app can use the device's location. The app is free, has no advertising and does not require signing in.
