E. User-Generated Content

Users may create content in WeatherMVP, including Stadium Chatter messages, venue tips, venue names and edits, profile information, and shared card previews.

You are responsible for the content you submit. You should not post private or sensitive information about yourself or others in public-facing features such as Stadium Chatter or venue tips.

WeatherMVP may moderate or remove content that violates our Terms of Service.

F. Friends and Social Features

Users may connect as friends by searching by username. Friends may see allowed profile and activity information depending on your privacy settings.

Nearby discovery features are opt-in only. You may disable nearby discovery at any time in Settings.

On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework will prompt you before tracking occurs. You may decline tracking; ads will still appear but may be less personalized.

Ads will not cover safety alerts or active weather warnings. Ad targeting complies with applicable privacy laws.

  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality requirements.

Third-party SDKs (e.g. Google AdMob) operate under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.
