This Privacy Policy explains how SoyApps, an independent developer in Japan (“we”, “us”), handles your information in Torr (“the app”). Torr is a barometer and altimeter app for iOS and Android that measures barometric pressure and altitude, shows pressure forecasts, and logs measurement history.
Summary
| Topic | How the app handles it |
|---|---|
| Account | Not required |
| Data you create | Measurement history on your device only |
| Location | Used for forecasts and background logging; never stored on our servers |
| Our servers | None on iOS; on Android, a relay for weather forecasts that does not store your location |
| Analytics | Google Analytics |
| Crash reports | Sent to a crash reporting service |
| Advertising | Google AdMob, for users without Torr Pro |
| Tracking | Only if you allow it (iOS) |
| Purchases | Torr Pro subscription, through the App Store |
Data the App Uses
Sensor Data
Torr reads your device’s barometric pressure and motion sensors to measure atmospheric pressure and altitude. This data is processed on your device.
Location
With your permission, Torr uses your location to:
- Show GPS-based elevation and estimate your floor level
- Fetch pressure forecasts and weather data for your area
- Log measurements continuously in background measurement mode
Your location is used on your device and to request weather forecasts. It is never stored on our servers.
On Android, forecast requests pass through our server on the way to the weather service. The server forwards your location without storing it.
Measurement History
Torr logs barometric pressure measurements on your device. You can export them as CSV files.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, Torr sends a daily pressure forecast and, for Torr Pro subscribers who turn them on, pressure alerts. The forecast text is created on your device from its last known location; to deliver it at the hour you chose, your device registers with a push notification service without sending your location. Pressure alerts are scheduled on your device.
On Android, the app does not send forecast notifications or pressure alerts. While background measurement mode is on, Android shows an ongoing notification that the app is measuring. The app asks for permission to show it when you turn the mode on.
Where Your Data Is Stored
Your measurement history and app preferences are stored on your device. They are not synchronized to any cloud service. Deleting the app removes them.
Third-Party Services
| Purpose | Who receives it | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Usage analytics | Google (Google Analytics) | How the app is used, and device and app information |
| Crash reports | A crash reporting service | Technical information about crashes |
| Advertising | Google (Google AdMob) | Device information and, if you allow it, the advertising identifier |
| Notifications | A push notification service | A notification token and the hour you chose; never your location |
| Weather forecasts | A weather service | Your location, when fetching forecasts (on Android, through our server, which does not store it) |
See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Advertising
Torr shows ads from Google AdMob to users without Torr Pro. On iOS, the app asks for your permission before using your device’s advertising identifier for personalized ads; if you do not allow it, the identifier is not used. On Android, the app uses your device’s advertising ID for ads; you can reset or delete it in your device’s settings. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before showing ads.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment information.
Data We Do Not Collect
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Your measurement history
- Your location, stored on our servers
Your Choices and Deleting Your Data
- You can change location, notification, and tracking permissions at any time in your device’s settings.
- You can turn background measurement mode off in the app.
- Deleting the app removes your measurement history and preferences. Cancel a Torr Pro subscription separately in your App Store account.
Data Security
Your measurement history stays on your device and is protected by your device’s own security measures (passcode, biometric authentication, and encryption).
Children’s Privacy
Torr is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date.
