Drying Day is a simple app: it reads the weather forecast and tells you whether it's a good day to hang the laundry outside. It was built to collect as little data as possible. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no analytics trackers, and we operate no servers — nothing you do in the app is sent to us.
With your permission, the app reads your device's approximate (coarse) location. Your coordinates are sent directly from your device to WeatherAPI.com, a weather data service, for the sole purpose of fetching the forecast (temperature, humidity, wind, cloud, rain chance, sunrise and sunset) used to work out the drying conditions for your area. WeatherAPI.com's handling of requests is described in its own privacy policy. The town or suburb name shown in the app is resolved on your device by the operating system's own geocoder. We never receive, store, or log your location, and the app does not track your movements or run location checks in the background.
Your settings (the rain-caution preference, alert toggles, and whether you have purchased Remove Ads) and the most recent forecast are stored locally on your device only, so the app opens instantly. Deleting the app deletes this data.
If you turn on laundry alerts, reminders are scheduled entirely on your device from the forecast the app already has. No notification service of ours is involved, because we don't have one.
The free version of the app shows a single banner ad served by Google AdMob. Ads are configured as non-personalised — we do not request ads based on your interests or profile. To serve and measure ads, Google may still collect certain device information (such as IP address and device identifiers) as described in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Purchasing Remove Ads removes advertising — and AdMob's data collection with it — entirely.
The one-time Remove Ads purchase is processed entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play. We never see your name, payment details, or billing information.
The app is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Because we collect and hold no personal information about you, there is usually nothing for us to access, correct, or delete — but if you have any questions or concerns, we genuinely want to hear them. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
