Privacy Policy

How Climatrix collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our weather and climate platform.

Last Updated: June 23, 2025
Climatrix (climatrix.org) is a climate and weather data platform serving Lahore Division, Pakistan — providing dashboards for farmers, local citizens, and meteorologists. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our website and services.
01

Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide weather and climate services:

Location data with your permission, your GPS coordinates or selected district/tehsil to deliver local weather. This is used in-session only and is not stored on our servers. Usage data pages visited, features used, and browser/device type, collected automatically to improve the platform. Contact information only if you reach out to us directly; we collect your name and email address in that case

We do not collect your national ID, financial details, or any sensitive personal information during normal use of the site.

02

How We Use Information

Information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Delivering localized weather and climate data for your selected area in Lahore Division
  • Improving dashboard accuracy, performance, and user experience
  • Generating anonymous, aggregated usage statistics
  • Responding to your inquiries or support requests
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.
03

Third-Party Services

Climatrix integrates with the following external APIs and services to power its features:

CHIRPS / NASA POWER

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their policies directly.

04

Cookies

Climatrix may use minimal cookies or browser local storage to remember your district/tehsil selection and dashboard preferences between sessions. These are functional cookies only — they do not track you across websites or serve advertising.

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will reset your saved preferences.

05

Data Storage & Security

Climatrix is a client-side weather platform. Most processing happens in your browser. We do not maintain a personal user database.

Where data is transmitted to third-party APIs, connections are made over HTTPS. We take reasonable technical measures to protect any data that passes through our systems, though no internet transmission is ever completely secure.

06

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Use the site without providing location access — simply select your district manually
  • Request information about any personal data we may hold about you
  • Request deletion of any data you have provided to us directly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in Section 9.

07

Children’s Privacy

Climatrix is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

08

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our platform evolves or as required by applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Continued use of Climatrix after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
