Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Cloud Identifier ("App"), developed by Asil Arslan ("Developer", "we", "us", or "our"), handles your information and protects your privacy when you use our AI-powered cloud identification application.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Cloud Identifier is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any of the following:

2. How the App Works Without Data Collection

Cloud Identifier processes all image recognition locally on your device using advanced AI algorithms. When you take a photo of clouds:

• No images are uploaded to our servers
• Cloud recognition results are generated locally
• Weather analysis is performed on-device
• No data leaves your device during the identification process

3. Apple App Store Integration

While Cloud Identifier itself does not collect data, your use of the app may involve Apple's App Store services:

For information about Apple's data practices, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy at https://www.apple.com/privacy/
