On the first run YoWindow attempts to detect user location with GPS sensor or via IP-geolocation. If detection succeeds the location is set as Home location in the Program. The identifier of Home location is sent to the server regulary in order to load the weather and other data.


Web-server communication.

We are strong advocates for consumer privacy, and we do NOT collect or store any personally identifiable information. Any information transmitted to our servers is anonymous and may be stored in the aggregate to help us improve our services.

The following information is reported to the server to collect anonymous statistics.
  - Program version and build number;
  - License type - free or unlimited;
  - auto-id - a random number generated at the moment of Program installation.
auto-id helps to identify a number of unique users of the Program;
  - Customer user identifier (in Unlimited Edition).

We take reasonable steps to secure the information on our servers against unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no security method can be guaranteed to protect information from attackers or human error.


Our privacy policy may change from time to time. If we make any significant changes to our policies, we will place a prominent notice on our website or application.
