Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Mukoko Africa, a division of Nyuchi Africa (PVT) Ltd("we", "us", "our"), handles information when you use mukoko weather ("the Service") at weather.mukoko.com.
We are committed to your privacy. mukoko weather is designed to provide weather intelligence with minimal data collection.
Information we collect
Information you provide
mukoko weather does not require account creation, registration, or login. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal information.
Location data
If you choose to use the "Use my location" feature, your browser will ask for permission to share your geographic coordinates. This data is:
- Processed entirely in your browser (client-side)
- Used only to determine the nearest supported weather location
- Sent to our server only to find the nearest location — not stored or logged
- Never shared with third parties
You can deny location access and manually select a location instead. The Service works fully without location access.
Automatically collected information
We use Google Analytics to understand how our service is used — such as which locations are most popular and how visitors navigate the site. Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data including page views, approximate geographic region, browser type, and device category. This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally.
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We do not use advertising pixels, fingerprinting technologies, or any other tracking beyond Google Analytics. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, request time) as part of their infrastructure. We do not access or analyse these logs.
How we use information
Since we collect minimal information, our use is limited to:
- Serving weather data for the location you select or navigate to
- Generating AI-powered weather summaries (using only weather data and location name — no personal information)
- Caching AI-generated weather summaries by location slug to improve performance (no personal data is cached)
