Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy clearly outlines our data protection, Web Push notification privacy, and security practices.
Last updated: February 21, 2026
What Data We Collect
Abohawa is a privacy-first weather platform — we never track or sell personal data. The following operational data is used:
- Web Push Subscriptions: When you enable push notifications, your browser issues an encrypted VAPID/FCM token along with your saved location (division/district/upazila/union) and notification topic choices. No personal identity is stored.
- Anonymous Weather Queries & Analytics: Anonymous location weather views and aggregated page visits used strictly for platform optimization.
- Contact Form Messages: Names and email addresses provided voluntarily in contact forms are strictly used to respond to inquiries.
Web Push Notification & Data Privacy
Our notification system is 100% free, non-intrusive, and privacy-respecting:
- No account creation, sign-up, or email registration required.
- You can disable notifications anytime with 1-click in browser site settings.
- Notifications strictly contain relevant weather alerts and selected topics.
