Our Commitment To Privacy

WeatherCurrents respects the privacy of visitors to our website. We take your privacy seriously. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make a link to it available on every page of our website.

The Information We Collect

Most WeatherCurrents.com services do not require the collection of any personally identifiable information.

However, our email lists require the entry of an email address and a password. In addition, name and email addresses are collected on feedback forms. This allows us to identify and respond to questions, comments, weather reports, and weather-related pictures.

Certain individuals may have editor privileges or accounts on the WeatherCurrents.com website. Those persons may also be asked to furnish addresses or phone numbers.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

The Way We Use Information

We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals, unless we obtain your consent. We may share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:

• We have your consent.
• We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
• We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of WeatherCurrents, its users or the public.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of WeatherCurrents, such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include how many users clicked on a particular advertisement.

Our Commitment To Data Security

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under age 13.

How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information

You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by editing your profile, if you have a WeatherCurrents.com account. If you do not have an account, but have submitted information via a weather report, question or comment, or picture submission, please send us a request and we will disclose everything we've collected. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
