Privacy
Aurora Beacon privacy
How Aurora Beacon handles information used by the app and website.
Overview
Aurora Beacon is designed to use the information needed to provide local aurora features, operate accounts and subscriptions where applicable, deliver alerts, diagnose faults and protect the service.
Location
Location may be used to tailor local aurora visibility, darkness, weather, viewing context and relevant regional information. Public Community locations are intended to remain approximate rather than exposing a contributor’s precise private position.
Accounts and subscriptions
If you create an account or use paid features, Aurora Beacon may process account identifiers and subscription status required to provide those services. App-store payment processing is handled through the relevant platform.
Diagnostics and security
Technical information may be processed where necessary to keep the service reliable, investigate errors, prevent abuse and protect accounts and infrastructure.
Community contributions
If you submit photographs or other Community content, information associated with that submission is processed so the contribution can be reviewed and displayed. Optional permission for separate social-media use is recorded independently where offered.
Contact
Privacy enquiries can be sent through the public contact route that will be published on the support page before public launch.
