Lavender's weather features use the Geolocation API, which prompts the user's browser for approximate current location in the form of latitude and longitude coordinates.
Lavender accesses the user's Local Storage and may access the user's Chrome Storage, if browsing via the Chrome extension.
The user's location data is stored in the user's browser and is not pre-fetched, indexed, stored, or cached in any way by the developer of Lavender. Location data obtained through the browser may be subject to additional privacy policies provided by the user's browser, such as Google's Privacy Policy, found here, or Firefox's Privacy Policy, found here. The coordinates collected are used to query OpenWeather's Current Weather Data API to obtain weather data for the user's area. The OpenWeather privacy policy can be found here.
The user's local storage is used to save UI settings within the browser. Chrome storage, if Chrome sync is enabled in the Chrome extension, saves settings using the Chrome Storage API to allow them to persist across extension instances. User data and settings are not indexed, stored, or cached by the developer of Lavender and are accessible only to the user.
The user may deny access to location data by clicking the "Not now" link when asked for permission to access location. If the user has already enabled location access or updated their UI settings, settings and location data can be deleted from the user's Chrome Storage by navigating to Chrome > Settings > Privacy and Security > "Clear Browsing Data" within the Chrome browser, or from Firefox at Firefox > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > "Clear Data". For other browsers, we recommend to follow browser-specific directions to clear local storage for the Lavender site or for site data in the browser as a whole. Please be aware that browsing data for products & sites offered by other parties may be deleted through this action.
Complaints about Lavender's privacy practices can be directed to the developer at fvrests@icloud.com. Reasonable steps will be taken to attempt to resolve any complaints.
Notice of any changes to Lavender's privacy policy will appear on this page. Please periodically review this page to stay up to date on Lavender's privacy practices. Continued use of the extension after updates to the policy have been posted will be considered an agreement to the revised policy.
