Privacy policy – Orelis365.lt website and Orelis 365 mobile app

Last updated: 2026-02-27

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use and protect your data when you use the Orelis365.lt website and the Orelis 365 mobile application (the “app”). We do not collect your name, email address or other personally identifying information – only technical and location data necessary for providing weather services and statistics.

2. Data we collect

2.1. Location data

• The app may use your device location (GPS or network coordinates) to show weather for your location and to find the nearest place.
• Coordinates are sent only to our servers (orelis365.lt / api.orelis365.lt) to determine the nearest place and are not stored as your personal location history.
• Location permission is optional – you can always choose places manually. If you grant “always” permission, location may be used in the background (widget, notifications).

2.2. Technical and usage data (no personal data)

• Installation_id – an anonymous ID generated per app installation, used for unique user statistics and error diagnostics, not linked to your name or email.
• Crash data – error message, screen where the crash occurred and technical details (device model, OS version) to help us fix issues.
• Usage statistics – a daily “heartbeat” event (once every 24 h) and screen views/events (via Firebase Analytics) without personal data.

2.3. Notifications (push)

• The app registers an FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) token to send weather notifications (daily summary, cold warnings).
• Notification permission is optional and can be revoked at any time in your device settings.

2.4. Website data

• When using the website, standard log data may be collected (IP address, access time, browser type) and cookies as described in the “Cookies” section below.

2.5. Weather forecast subscription

• If you subscribe to the weekly weather forecast by email, we collect and store your email address and the location you selected so that we can send you the weekly forecast. We keep this data for as long as your subscription is active. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email.

3. Purposes of data use

• Providing weather services and personalisation by location.
• Analysing and improving the performance of the app and website.
• Error diagnostics and testing.
• Sending weather notifications (if you have agreed to receive them).

4. Legal basis

• Contract performance – necessary to provide weather forecasts and related features.
• Legitimate interest – service quality analysis, security and bug fixing.
• Consent – for location and notifications where required by law or platform rules.

5. Data retention

• Telemetry and crash logs on the server are typically stored for a limited time (e.g. up to 12 months) and then anonymised or deleted.
• Aggregated statistics without identifiers may be kept longer.
• The FCM token is stored as long as you use notifications or until you uninstall the app.

6. Data recipients and transfers

• Our servers (orelis365.lt / api.orelis365.lt) – location coordinates to determine the nearest place, telemetry records, anonymous statistics.
• Google Firebase – Analytics and Cloud Messaging services, under Google’s privacy policy.
• Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

7. Your rights

• Request access to your personal data and obtain a copy where applicable.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• In some cases, request deletion of data or restriction of processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Withdraw consent (e.g. for location or notifications) in your device or app settings.
• Lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
