Privacy Policy
Grubeli.ge's privacy policy and terms of service. Learn how we protect your personal data and how we use location permissions to show local weather.
1. Data Collection
We only collect the minimal information necessary for the proper functioning of the service:
Location (GPS)
On web and Android, we request location for accurate forecasts. Coordinates are stored in a cookie for 30 days — they are not stored on the server permanently. We only receive coordinates from Georgia.
Push Notifications (Android)
On Android, we request permission for push notifications to provide alerts about sharp weather changes, fires, earthquakes, and other useful information.
Technical Data
For statistics and security purposes, IP addresses and browser types are logged in the server logs.
2. Third-Party Data
We do not share your data with third parties for commercial purposes. We collaborate only with trusted partners who help in delivering the service and improving it, and they are obligated to protect the confidentiality of your data.

3. Privacy Protection
- Location data is processed in real-time and is not stored on the server permanently — only in the browser's cookie.
- SSL/HTTPS encryption is used to ensure the secure transmission of all data.
- AI requests are limited — max. 300 characters and flood protection is enabled.
- The system only processes coordinates from Georgia — locations from other countries are automatically rejected.
- Cookies and sessions are only used to store location and selected language (ka/en) for 30 days. No advertising or other tracking cookies are used.
4. User Rights
