Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

CLIMA TERRA is an open-data, bilingual climate platform created by Alfonso Rodríguez (@alfonsoAIData). It works without registration and does not create accounts or perform continuous tracking.

1. Data usage

The application may request your location only if you explicitly allow it. Interpretation and presentation take place on your device. To obtain the data, the coordinates received are transmitted over HTTPS to Open-Meteo and, when a location description is needed, to OpenStreetMap / Nominatim. CLIMA TERRA does not persist your coordinates, sell information or perform continuous tracking. The precision transmitted is supplied by the browser or device; the application does not reduce it.

The selected location and responses remain temporarily in memory while the app is open. Expired data may be refreshed using the same coordinates, without requesting GPS again or tracking movement. Reloading does not restore a manual search from persistent storage.

2. Data transparency

Data origins and interpretation criteria are detailed in Sources and transparency. This policy is limited to technical processing and privacy.

3. Cookies

The site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. The hosting provider (Netlify) may record technical access data under its own policy.

4. Local storage

The browser may store minimal preferences such as language selection and, during the session, whether you accepted or dismissed the location invitation. Manual searches are not retained to restore them after a page refresh. These values are never used for analytics or profiling, and coordinates are not persisted.

Location and permissions

CLIMA TERRA first explains why location is requested when permission has not yet been granted. Only after you select “Continue” does it invoke the native browser or operating-system request. If permission is already granted, opening or refreshing the page may retrieve the location again to show current data, without requesting permission again. Coordinates are not persisted and continuous tracking is not performed.

Locations received through a URL

When a link includes coordinates, they are used for the requested query. CLIMA TERRA does not persist those coordinates or create cookies or profiles through this feature. Links containing coordinates may remain in browser history.

Providers and external links

Open-Meteo receives the coordinates needed to obtain weather and environmental data. OpenStreetMap / Nominatim receives manual search text or coordinates when a location description is requested. These providers also receive the technical data needed to handle the connection, such as the IP address, and process it under their own policies. External links that users choose to open lead to sites with their own privacy policies.
