Users are informed during the registration process or use of the METEOTRACK Sites about the information we may collect about them or their devices, and asked to provide this information or allow us to access it for certain purposes, such as improving products and sending notifications.  

We may ask you to provide personal information or allow METEOTRACK and/or Suppliers to identify or contact you. We may ask for such information when we ask you to register for paid Services, although some free products or Services may also require registration. For example, we may ask for your personal information when you create an account, download applications or content through the METEOTRACK Sites, upload content (e.g., photos, videos) to the METEOTRACK Sites, subscribe to email newsletters or other content provided by the METEOTRACK Sites, or report a problem with your account or the METEOTRACK Sites. As a registered subscriber or User, you may be able to download software, enter contests or sweepstakes, order email newsletters, or participate in additional services or other promotions offered on the METEOTRACK Sites.

Your use of the METEOTRACK Sites may result in the assignment of unique identifiers (IDs) to you. Some of these IDs are generated by your device and some are delivered to your device by us or our Providers. They may be in the form of numbers, combinations of letters, numbers and other characters or other codes. They may be used to enable METEOTRACK and its Suppliers and other entities that assist METEOTRACK in operating the METEOTRACK Sites to know the location of your device, your browsing movements or information about the environment near your device. When using certain METEOTRACK Sites, you may choose when and how often you want to share your device location data with us, and for what purposes we or our Providers may use your device location data. The basic functionality of the METEOTRACK application will continue to work if you choose not to share your device location data in order to receive personalized content and advertising. 

When using the METEOTRACK Sites, your device may come to send us some or all of the following information:

1) GPS coordinates of your device. On many devices, enabling or disabling "Location Services" or similar settings allows you to control whether your device sends GPS coordinates;
2) Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is a number automatically assigned by your ISP. The IP address is used to send information to us or our Providers and to receive information back from us or our Providers;
3) Device ID. A device ID is a combination of letters and numbers that is unique to the device you are using. The device ID identifies the device, regardless of who is using it. In many devices, the device ID is provided by the device manufacturer and stored permanently in the device's memory. Depending on how the manufacturer has configured the device, it may not be possible to change it;
4) Advertising ID (IDFA) or Advertising ID (AAID). These are combinations of letters and numbers that are unique to the device in use. However, these identifiers may not be permanent. Depending on your device, you may be able to reset them in your device or browser settings;
5) information about other devices in the vicinity of your device. Your device typically uses several types of wireless communication methods, and each method is enabled or disabled separately by you. If you use a wireless or cellular connection, your device may record and transmit information about your contact or connection with other devices or elements of the network your device uses;

However, if you do not allow your device to accept cookies, your experience the next time you visit the METEOTRACK website may not be optimal, as we may not recognize your device;
8) Pixel Tags, Web Beacons, Flash Shared Objects/HTML5 Local Storage/HTML5 Mini Databases. Many mobile devices are using these technologies to store information on mobile devices, and as a result, they allow us to improve web browsing. Flash Shared Objects, HTML5 Local Storage and HTML5 Mini Databases also allow a device to track a user's movements while browsing the Internet, rather than just one specific site.

If the User disables "Location Services" or a similar setting that controls GPS functionality, the device can still automatically send or receive other information as long as the User has these other types of communications enabled. Please refer to the instructions for your device, operating system or browser to learn how to control the information your device can send.
