Summary
Preferences and mixes stay on the device. Google Analytics 4 loads only after affirmative consent. Rejecting or withdrawing consent blocks Atmosphere analytics events and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies. Precise weather coordinates and city-search text are never sent to Google Analytics.
Information stored on your device
Browser or desktop WebView local storage keeps consent, settings, saved and recent mixes, favorite atmospheres, playback state, and resume information. It provides requested functionality and is not synchronized to an Atmosphere server. Records remain until removed, site/application data is cleared, or the app is uninstalled. See the cookie and local-storage policy for the complete key inventory.
Shared mixes are encoded in the generated URL. Anyone who receives that link can read its playback configuration.
Optional analytics
After consent, Google Analytics 4 receives page and screen context; atmosphere, track, and video identifiers; playback and feature interactions; non-cumulative listening intervals; engagement milestones; coarse viewport and connection categories; selected media quality; performance measurements; referrer; browser; operating system; timestamps; and an approximate region derived by Google from the network connection. Google may process the request IP address to provide the service.
Atmosphere does not send names, email addresses, account identifiers, custom mix names, shared-mix contents, city-search text, or weather coordinates. Google Signals, advertising storage, ad-user-data consent, and ad personalization remain disabled. GA cookies are limited to approximately thirteen months; GA4 event-level data is configured for up to fourteen months, while aggregate reporting can remain longer. The analytics disclosure lists every measurement category.
Optional weather
Weather remains off until you request local weather or search for a place. With device-location permission, coordinates are rounded to two decimal places and sent directly to Open-Meteo. A manual search sends the entered text to Open-Meteo's geocoding service. Atmosphere retains the selected location only in memory and has no location database. Open-Meteo states that free-API server logs can contain IP addresses and coordinates and are deleted after 90 days.
Providers and international processing
- GitHub hosts the website, source, releases, and installation files and may keep security and request logs.
- Google Analytics processes consented usage measurement.
- Open-Meteo processes requested weather and place-search requests.
- Coverr, Pexels, and Wikimedia Commons provide or document credited media; some video is requested from provider CDNs.
Providers may process data outside the user's country under their own terms and transfer safeguards. Atmosphere does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Choices and rights
You can reject or withdraw analytics, decline location, clear application storage, remove saved mixes, avoid sharing mix links, and enable Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. When no prior analytics choice exists, either privacy signal defaults analytics to denied. Depending on location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a data-protection authority. Because Atmosphere has no accounts and avoids direct identifiers, maintainers may be unable to associate GA data with a particular person.
Children, security, contact, and changes
Atmosphere is not directed to children under 13. Where local law requires an older age for independent consent, analytics should remain disabled unless a parent or guardian provides permission. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no networked service is risk-free. For a privacy request, open an issue without sensitive information and request a private channel. Material changes update the effective date.
