Privacy Policy

How Sommar collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the app and related services.

Effective: July 13, 2026Last updated: July 28, 2026

In this Privacy Policy, “Sommar,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Sommar mobile application and the sole proprietorship that operates it.

This Privacy Policy explains how Sommar collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Sommar mobile application and related services.

Information we process

Depending on the features you use, Sommar may process:

  • Location information, when you grant permission, to provide local UV and weather information.
  • Weather and UV information supplied through Apple WeatherKit.
  • Sunscreen product, application, protection-duration, inventory, and protection-history information that you enter.
  • The optional first name you enter during onboarding, stored locally on your device to personalize the app.
  • Subscription and purchase information, processed through Apple and our subscription service provider.
  • App settings, notification preferences, language preferences, and device-generated identifiers.
  • Information you send to support, such as your email address and message.
  • Advertising identifiers and ad-interaction information, where advertising is shown. See Advertising below.

Sommar does not intentionally collect health records, biometric information, payment-card numbers, or precise contacts.

How we use information

We use information to:

  • Calculate and display UV guidance and estimated protection periods.
  • Track protection sessions, reminders, inventory, and history.
  • Provide widgets, Live Activities, local notifications, and app functionality you request.
  • Process subscriptions and restore purchases.
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Protect the security and reliability of the service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

Sommar does not use your location or protection history to provide medical diagnoses or to make decisions about your eligibility for services.

Location and WeatherKit

If you allow location access, Sommar may use your location to request local weather and UV information through Apple WeatherKit. You can withdraw location access at any time through your device settings. If location or weather attribution is unavailable, some UV features may be unavailable or limited.

Sommar may round an approximate location and cache it locally on your device for up to one hour. This temporary cache helps refresh UV and protection estimates when a new one-time location is unavailable. It is not used to track you and is not sold or shared for advertising.

Notifications

Sommar may schedule local notifications for protection reminders, setting periods, expiration, reapplication, and other app events. These notifications are generated by the app and can be disabled in iOS Settings.

Sharing

We may share information with:

  • Apple, including Apple WeatherKit, StoreKit, iCloud or App Group services where enabled, and system notification services.
  • RevenueCat, our integrated subscription service provider, which processes purchase and entitlement information to manage subscription status.
  • Google AdMob, our advertising partner, where advertising is shown in the app. See Advertising below.
  • Service providers that process data only on our instructions.
  • Authorities or other parties when required by law, legal process, fraud prevention, or protection of rights.

We do not sell personal information. Information shared with our advertising partner is limited to what is described in Advertising, and you can limit personalized advertising as described there.

Advertising

Where Sommar shows advertising, it is supplied by Google AdMob, a Google service. When an ad is requested or displayed, Google and its advertising partners may collect and use device identifiers (including Apple’s Advertising Identifier), an approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about how you interact with ads, in order to select, deliver, measure, and improve advertising and to detect fraud and abuse.

Google’s use of information from apps that use its services is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Google may also set and read cookies or similar identifiers on your device for these purposes.

On iOS, personalized advertising uses your Advertising Identifier only if you allow it through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, you may still see advertising, but it will not be personalized using that identifier. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Sommar does not share your protection history, sunscreen inventory, onboarding name, or precise location with our advertising partner.

Storage and retention

Your optional onboarding name, protection history, inventory, settings, and related records may be stored locally on your device and, where enabled, in system-provided shared storage. The temporary approximate-location cache is retained for no more than one hour. Subscription records may be retained by Apple and RevenueCataccording to their policies.

We retain support communications and other information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security.

Your choices and rights

You may:

  • Deny or withdraw location permission.
  • Disable notifications.
  • Delete app data through available in-app controls or by deleting the app.
  • Request access, correction, deletion, or clarification regarding personal information we control.
  • Contact us about privacy questions.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. No electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure.

Children

Sommar is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Third-party services

Apple, WeatherKit, RevenueCat, Google AdMob, and other third parties may process information under their own privacy policies. Their services are not controlled by Sommar.

International processing

Information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the effective date when changes are made.
