Privacy Policy
Effective date: 8 November 2026
Drizzlr is designed to work offline. Rainfall readings and related settings remain on your device unless you choose to use the optional Google Drive backup feature.
Information stored on your device
Drizzlr stores the information you enter, including rainfall readings, gauge names, dates, optional temperature readings and app preferences. If you connect Google Drive, Drizzlr also stores the selected account email locally so it can show that the account is connected.
Optional Google Drive backup
When you choose to connect Google Drive, Drizzlr asks for permission to create, update, restore and delete Drizzlr’s own backup data in your Google Drive app-data folder. This permission is used only for the backup and restore features you initiate in the app.
- The backup is a CSV file containing the records needed to restore your Drizzlr data.
- The backup is stored in Drizzlr’s private Google Drive app-data folder.
- Drizzlr cannot browse, read, edit or delete your other Google Drive files.
- You can disconnect Google Drive at any time in Drizzlr’s settings.
How information is used
Drizzlr uses your entries to display your calendar, totals, charts and exported data. We do not operate a Drizzlr server that receives or stores your rainfall data. Drizzlr does not sell your personal information or use it for advertising.
Sharing and service providers
Your information is not shared by Drizzlr except when you choose to back up to Google Drive, export data, or share an exported file through your device. Google’s handling of information is governed by Google’s own privacy policy and terms.
Your choices and data deletion
You can edit or delete individual entries in the app. You can disconnect Google Drive in the app’s settings. To remove a hidden Drive backup, use Google Drive’s Manage Apps settings to delete Drizzlr’s app data. Uninstalling the app removes its local data from your device, subject to your device’s own backup settings.
Security
We use the Google authorization flow provided by Google Play services for optional Drive access. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so please keep your device and Google account protected.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if Drizzlr’s practices change. The current version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date.
