At sun-a-wear we take data protection very seriously. We therefore want to communicate transparently which data we store where and how and what happens to it. If you have any questions, please write us an email.
- We transmit and store all data according to current encryption standards.
- We store data that the sun-a-wear app sends to our server in Zurich, CH.
- We uphold data protection at sun-a-wear and deliberately refrain from collecting personal data from our users. It is not possible to identify a person with the data that we store. Therefore, the sun-a-wear app does not collect full names or email addresses. The app sends the name you enter when adding a sun-a-wear sensor to our server with the measurement data. Its main purpose is to let you tell the sensors apart. You can monitor up to 4 sensors with the sun-a-wear app. It's easy to get confused. We recommend using your first name or nickname, but you can also use any fancy name.
- The sun-a-wear app first saves the measurement data received from the sensor locally on your smartphone. The app sporadically sends the data to our server. It's important to us that we can collect this anonymous UV data to improve sun-a-wear and better understand the effects of UV radiation.
- When you install the app, it generates a random numerical code. It uses this so that our server recognizes the app. This data will be deleted during a new installation. The app and server then no longer know who you are and can therefore no longer show you any historical UV data. However, we are working on offering such a recovery function on as anonymous a basis as possible.
- The app retrieves your location every few hours to show you an up-to-date UV forecast. It does this even when the app is in the background. However, this location data is only stored on your phone and is never sent to our servers.
- We are constantly developing sun-a-wear and will add great new features. To do this, we will likely change the nature and processing of the data collected. However, we will not force anyone to provide personal data and will continue to be transparent about what we do.
