This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our mobile application, website (ARWXNetwork.com), and related digital services (collectively, the “Services”). By using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide When you contact us, subscribe to alerts, or participate in community features, we may collect personal details such as your name, email address, or any information you voluntarily submit. If you share media such as photos, videos, or weather reports, that content may also include metadata like location information, depending on your device settings.

B. Information We Collect Automatically We may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, app usage data, and general location. This helps us ensure stable performance and improve the user experience.

C. Location Data If you enable location permissions, we may use your approximate or precise location to provide localized forecasts, warnings, and alerts relevant to your area. You can disable this at any time in your device settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Deliver accurate weather forecasts, alerts, and reports tailored to your area.

By submitting any images, videos, or weather-related reports (“Content”) through our app, website, social media, or email, you grant Arkansas Weather Network a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, broadcast, and distribute such Content across any of our platforms—including TV, social media, digital streams, and promotional materials.

By submitting Content, you confirm that you own the rights or have permission to share it. You waive any right to approve, review, or receive compensation for its use. This ensures that community-submitted weather photos and reports can help keep others safe while respecting proper ownership.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. However, no system or online transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when sharing information online.
