Effective Date: [2025/4/8]
Thank you for choosing Kactoily. This privacy policy is designed to inform you about how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information when you use our application and grant it access to the camera function (android.permission.CAMERA). Please read this privacy policy carefully before using our app.
We collect your email address solely for the purpose of account security, specifically for password recovery. When you forget your password, you can request a password reset link via email. This email address is not used for any marketing activities, and we do not share it with third-parties, except when required by law.
When you use our app, we may request access to your location information (android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION). This information is collected solely to display accurate weather information relevant to your current location. For example, once you open the app, we use your location data to fetch and show local weather conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind speed, so that you can plan your day accordingly.
The email address we collect is used exclusively to send password reset links when you initiate a password recovery request. We do not use it for any other purposes, and it is not transmitted to external servers for any additional processing.
The location data we collect is exclusively used to retrieve and present weather information within the app. We send your location details to trusted weather data providers who use it to generate accurate weather forecasts for your area. This data is not used for any other purposes, such as targeted advertising or user profiling. All processing of location data occurs within the context of providing you with weather-related services, and we do not transmit it to external servers for any additional or unrelated activities.
We store the camera-related data only on your device, within the app's designated local storage area. This ensures that your data remains private and is not exposed to external networks. The data is stored in a format that allows for efficient use within the app's features.
We store location-related data only as long as necessary to display the weather information. Once the weather data has been retrieved and presented to you, we do not retain your location information on our servers. Any temporary storage of location data on your device is managed in accordance with the app's local storage policies and will be deleted when you uninstall the app.
When you uninstall the app from your device, all the camera-related data stored locally by the app will be permanently deleted. This means that if you reinstall the app in the future, you will need to perform any previous actions involving camera usage, such as taking new photos or re-selecting existing ones, from the start.
We do not share your camera-related data with third-parties for any purpose other than those necessary to support the app's functionality. Since the data does not leave your device, there is no risk of it being sold, rented, or leased to third-parties for their own marketing or other commercial activities.
In the highly unlikely event that we are legally required to disclose data, it should be noted that as the data is stored locally, any legal process would need to be directed towards your device. However, we are committed to protecting your privacy to the fullest extent possible under the law and would only disclose data if compelled by a valid legal order and after taking all necessary steps to safeguard your rights.
We may share your location information with our weather data providers solely for the purpose of obtaining weather forecasts. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the intended weather-related services. We do not share your location information with third-parties for marketing, advertising, or any other non-weather-related purposes.
You have the right to access the camera-related information, email information, and location information we have collected about you within the app. If you find that the information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it. To exercise these rights, please use the in-app feedback mechanism or contact us through [services@kactoily.com].
You can request the deletion of your camera data, email information, or location data at any time while using the app. This will result in the immediate deletion of the relevant data from the app's local storage on your device. Simply reach out to us via the provided contact information, and we will process your deletion request in accordance with applicable laws and this privacy policy.
You can withdraw your consent for the app to access the camera, location, or other features at any time through your device's system settings. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, certain features of the app that rely on the corresponding access may no longer function properly, but this will not affect any data processing that has already occurred with your prior consent.
We implement a range of security measures to protect your camera-related data, email information, and location information while it is stored locally on your device or transmitted (in the case of location data for weather services). These include, but are not limited to, data encryption within the app's local storage, access controls to ensure that only the app can access the data, and regular integrity checks to maintain data consistency. For location data shared with weather providers, we use secure transmission protocols. However, please be aware that while we strive to provide a high level of security, no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or technological developments. Any changes will be posted within the app and on our official website. When significant changes are made, we will also provide appropriate notice to you. By continuing to use the app after the updated policy is effective, you consent to the revised privacy policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding this privacy policy or our handling of your camera-related information, email information, or location information, please contact us at:

We will make every effort to respond to your inquiries as promptly as possible, typically within 2 business days.
