Privacy, by design.
Whenlit helps you plan for sunlight, weather and photo opportunities. We prioritize on-device storage and use system services for the features you choose.
1. Location and weather
With your permission, Whenlit uses your device's location to calculate solar and lunar positions, provide directional guidance and request local forecasts. You can deny permission and choose a city instead. We do not continuously track your location in the background. Selected and recent places may be stored on your device.
Place searches and geocoding use Apple's MapKit and location services. Standard production weather queries use Apple WeatherKit, which receives the requested coordinates and forecast time range. Some development or alternate builds may use Open-Meteo, which receives the requested coordinates and forecast parameters. These services handle requests under their own privacy policies.
2. Camera, compass and motion
The optional AR view uses the camera, compass and device orientation to overlay a solar path on a live view. Whenlit does not record or upload camera photos or videos for this feature.
3. On-device information
Favorites, recently selected places, shooting plans, reminders, app preferences and a limited weather cache are saved locally on your device. Necessary data may be shared with Whenlit widgets and a paired Apple Watch using Apple's device-sharing technologies. Operating-system backups may handle app data separately.
4. Purchases
Apple StoreKit handles purchases, subscriptions, renewals and transaction verification. Whenlit reads verified purchase and subscription status to enable Pro access. We do not receive payment card details.
5. Sharing
If you choose to share a plan, an exported image or link may include its location, precise coordinates, date and time, camera direction and any optional weather snapshot you include. Shared content is sent through the iOS share sheet. Anyone receiving a link or image may see that information. Whenlit cannot revoke information already shared through another service.
6. Analytics, advertising and third-party services
The current app configuration does not require a Whenlit account, include advertising SDKs or third-party analytics, or upload your saved plans to a Whenlit-operated cloud account. We do not use your information for cross-app advertising tracking.
Apple provides mapping, WeatherKit, StoreKit and other system services; see Apple's Privacy Policy. Other builds may query Open-Meteo.
This site is hosted by Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process technical connection information, such as an IP address, to deliver and protect the website; see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. We have not added analytics scripts, advertising tags or tracking cookies to this page.
7. Your controls and retention
Manage location, camera, motion and notification permissions in iOS Settings. You can choose a city without granting location permission and delete saved places or plans in the app. Locally saved information typically remains until you delete it or uninstall Whenlit. Temporary weather caches are periodically replaced or removed. OS backups and information you share externally follow separate retention rules.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as features or data practices change; the effective date will be revised. For questions about privacy or your data, contact us at pandafeeeder@gmail.com.
