Time and Weather Sol is developed and maintained by an independent developer operating under Australian law.
com.timeandweather.solFor the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the data controller is the developer identified above. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom and have questions about data protection, please contact us at the email address above.
Time and Weather Sol is a time, weather, and Solana information dashboard application designed for the Solana Seeker phone (Android) that displays:
Time and Weather Sol is designed with a privacy-first, local-only architecture. All data remains exclusively on your device in app-private storage (Android SharedPreferences and EncryptedSharedPreferences). No data is transmitted to any server we operate, because we do not operate any servers.
| Data type | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet public address | Display balance on dashboard (opt-in) | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Wallet app name | Show which wallet was used to sign in | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| SGT status & member number | Display Seeker Genesis Token verification | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Weather preferences | Temperature unit, wind speed unit, display toggles, refresh intervals | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Location data (GPS coordinates) | Retrieve weather forecasts for your location | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Engagement data | Streak counts and daily interaction counters | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Device timezone | Display local time, world clocks, sunrise/sunset times | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Clock and display preferences | Analogue/digital clock settings, world clock timezone selections | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
Time and Weather Sol requests Android location permissions for two distinct purposes:
Time and Weather Sol uses precise GPS coordinates to fetch accurate weather forecasts, hourly and daily predictions, air quality index (AQI) data, and sunrise/sunset times for your current location. This permission:
Legal basis (GDPR): Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — you explicitly grant location permission through the Android permission prompt, and you can revoke this permission at any time through Android Settings.
Time and Weather Sol also uses coarse location data for regulatory compliance — specifically to detect whether the device is located in a jurisdiction subject to international sanctions. This usage:
Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — compliance with international sanctions law. We have conducted a balancing test and determined that the compelling legal obligation to screen for sanctioned regions outweighs the minimal privacy intrusion of a single on-device coarse location check that is never stored or transmitted.
Time and Weather Sol does not operate any backend servers, databases, cloud storage, or analytics infrastructure. We have no server-side systems capable of receiving, storing, or processing user data. All data exists exclusively in your device's app-private storage and is inaccessible to other applications.
Time and Weather Sol makes read-only API requests to the following third-party services to retrieve publicly available data. These requests are HTTPS-encrypted and no user-specific data is included in the requests except where noted:
| Service | Endpoint | Data retrieved | User data sent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open-Meteo | api.open-meteo.com | Current conditions, hourly/daily forecasts, sunrise/sunset | GPS coordinates* |
| OpenWeatherMap | api.openweathermap.org | Weather data (fallback provider) | GPS coordinates* |
| Open-Meteo Air Quality | air-quality-api.open-meteo.com | Air quality index (AQI) data | GPS coordinates* |
| Jupiter API | lite-api.jup.ag | SOL and SKR token prices | None |
| Raydium API | api-v3.raydium.io | SOL and SKR token prices (fallback) | None |
| CoinGecko API | api.coingecko.com | Prices and 24-hour change data (fallback) | None |
| Solana RPC | api.mainnet-beta.solana.com | Wallet SOL balance | Wallet public address** |
* Your GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) are sent to weather API endpoints to retrieve location-specific weather data. This occurs only when you have granted location permission. Coordinates are numerical values that identify a geographic point but do not directly identify you as an individual. The legal basis for this processing is your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
** Your Solana wallet public address is sent to the Solana RPC endpoint only when you have opted in by signing in with your wallet. Wallet public addresses are publicly visible on the Solana blockchain and are not generally considered personal information, though GDPR may classify pseudonymous identifiers as personal data. The legal basis for this processing is your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Wallet sign-in uses Solana's Mobile Wallet Adapter protocol, which operates entirely locally between Time and Weather Sol and your wallet app on the same device via Android inter-process communication. During the MWA sign-in process:
We implement the following security measures to protect locally stored data:
EncryptedSharedPreferences with AES-256-SIV encryption (via Google Tink)All data is stored locally on your device and is retained until you explicitly delete it. You can delete all Time and Weather Sol data at any time by:
Since no data is stored on our servers, deletion from your device constitutes complete deletion.
Time and Weather Sol does not transfer personal data to our servers (we have none). However, when Time and Weather Sol makes API calls to third-party services (see Section 5), network requests may be routed through servers located outside your country of residence, including servers in the United States and Europe.
For users in the EEA or UK: these API calls are limited to fetching publicly available weather and price data, and where you have consented, querying your location for weather forecasts and your wallet's public balance. We rely on the derogation under Article 49(1)(a) GDPR (explicit consent for location-based weather queries and wallet balance queries) and Article 49(1)(c) (necessary for the performance of the contract for weather and price data retrieval).
If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
Under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you have the right to:
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
If you are located in Japan, you have the right to request disclosure, correction, cessation of use, and deletion of your personal information. All data is stored locally on your device and can be deleted by clearing app data or uninstalling. For inquiries, please contact us at the email address in Section 1.
If you are located in South Korea, you have the right to:
All data is stored locally on your device. The personal information protection officer for this application can be contacted at aardappvark@proton.me.
If you are located in Singapore, you have the right to access and correct your personal data. We have designated the developer as the Data Protection Officer. For PDPA inquiries, contact aardappvark@proton.me.
Time and Weather Sol is not directed at, marketed to, or intended for use by children under the age of 16 (or 13 in jurisdictions where that threshold applies, including the United States under COPPA). We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided data to the app, the data exists only on that child's device and can be removed by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.
Time and Weather Sol performs one automated decision: sanctions region screening at app startup. If your device is detected in a sanctioned jurisdiction, the app displays an informational screen explaining the restriction. This automated decision is based on legitimate interest in regulatory compliance (GDPR Art. 22(2)(b)) and does not produce legal effects beyond restricting access to the app's informational features. You may contact us to contest this decision.
We have conducted an internal assessment of our data processing activities and determined that a formal Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) under GDPR Art. 35 is not required because:
Time and Weather Sol does not track users in any way and therefore inherently honours Do Not Track (DNT) signals. There is no tracking to disable.
For the purposes of the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and its national implementations: Time and Weather Sol stores configuration data on your device using Android SharedPreferences and EncryptedSharedPreferences. This storage is strictly necessary for the functioning of the application (exempted from consent requirements under Art. 5(3)) and does not involve any tracking, profiling, or advertising functionality.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:
Continued use of Time and Weather Sol after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
For any privacy-related questions, concerns, or to exercise your data subject rights, please contact:
We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within 30 days.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. This does not affect your statutory rights under the laws of your country of residence, including rights under GDPR (for EEA/UK residents), CCPA/CPRA (for California residents), or other applicable local privacy laws.
