Weather app and your privacy
To display weather in your current location just activate the location services on your device. (For Android 6.0 or later, you’ll find them in Settings>Apps>BBC Weather>Permissions>Locations.)
Don’t worry, your precise location is not shared with the BBC. The app just chooses the closest location where weather information is available.
This info is kept anonymous, secure and we won’t share it with anyone. No other personal data relating to you will be sent to the BBC either (for instance, a username, email address or unique device identifier).
If you install this app you accept the BBC Terms of Use at http://www.bbc.co.uk/terms. To read BBC’s Privacy Policy go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/privacy.
If you don’t want the BBC Weather app to display the weather at your current location just go to Settings>Apps>BBC Weather>Permissions>Locations, and select “off”.
