What the app does with your data

Aurora Alerts keeps your place name, latitude, alert threshold and the last Kp values it downloaded on your phone. It has no account, no backend and no analytics or advertising SDK.

To refresh the forecast the app downloads a public file from NOAA SWPC (services.swpc.noaa.gov). The request contains no place, name or identifier; like any web request it reaches NOAA's server together with your device's IP address, which NOAA handles under its own policy.

What is collected

• Diagnostics (App info and performance): collected, not shared, required. This is the technical data Google Play Billing handles when you buy or restore Pro. We do not receive your card or payment details; Google does.
• Nothing else is collected by us: no name, email, location, contacts, photos, files, microphone audio or device identifiers. Your latitude is typed in by you and stays on the phone.

Permissions

• Internet: to download the public NOAA SWPC forecast.
• Notifications (Android 13 and later asks you): only when you turn on aurora alerts, to show the "go outside" notification.
• Google Play Billing: to buy and restore Pro. The app never uses location, camera, microphone, contacts or storage.

Your controls

• Settings > Export all my data saves everything the app stores as a JSON file you choose.
• Settings > Delete all data erases your place, threshold, alert history and downloaded forecast and returns the app to a fresh install. Your Pro purchase stays with your Google account.
• Uninstalling the app removes its data. Cloud backup, if you have it on, may hold the app database; Android lets you delete that from your Google account.
• Subscriptions are managed in Google Play (Settings > Manage subscription). Cancel the yearly plan anytime in Google Play.

Children

The app is not designed for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
