ReshmeInfo ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Background Location Disclosure
ReshmeInfo accesses your location in the background to provide timely weather notifications that help protect your silk caterpillars, even when the app is not actively in use.
Why we need background location:
- To send weather alerts about conditions that may affect your silk farm
- To provide location-specific care recommendations based on changing weather
- To ensure you receive critical notifications about temperature, humidity, or weather changes
Your Control: You can enable or disable background location access at any time from your device Settings > Apps > ReshmeInfo > Permissions. Disabling background location will prevent weather notifications but won't affect other app features.
