Frizz Wiz — Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 18, 2026
Operator: Emkay Ventures LLC (“we”, “us”)
This policy describes how the Frizz Wiz mobile app handles information. It is provided for transparency and for store listings (e.g. Apple App Store). This is not legal advice; have counsel review if you need a binding policy for your jurisdiction.
Summary
Frizz Wiz is a weather-based hair outlook app. We do not operate sign-in or user accounts inside the app. Weather is requested from OpenWeather using location or place information you provide or allow on your device. If you opt in to the daily hair-day alert, we also use a small alerts service (hosted on Vercel) to store the minimum data needed to send that push notification.
Information the app uses
- Location (optional): If you grant when-in-use location permission, the app uses your coordinates on the device to request a weather forecast. You can deny permission and instead enter a ZIP code, city name, or coordinates flow supported by the app.
- Place / weather inputs: Text or coordinates you enter are used to fetch weather and build the on-screen forecast. The last place you looked up may be saved on your device so the app can reload that forecast on the next launch.
- Daily hair-day alert (optional, off by default): If you enable the alert in Options → Notification settings, the app requests notification permission and registers with our alerts service. We store an Expo push token (and a random device id), your saved location (ZIP/place or coordinates), your timezone, and chosen alert time — solely so we can fetch today’s weather at send time and deliver one Frizz day or Good hair day push. Turning the alert off disables (or removes) that registration. We do not use this data for ads or profiles.
Third-party services
- OpenWeather (OpenWeatherMap): Forecast requests are sent to OpenWeather’s APIs (including approximate or precise coordinates or place names as required by their API). OpenWeather’s handling of data is governed by their policies: openweather.co.uk/privacy-policy (verify the current URL on their site).
- Expo / Apple Push Notification service: When the daily alert is enabled, push delivery uses Expo’s push infrastructure and Apple’s APNs.
- Alerts API (Vercel): Opt-in alert preferences are stored in a database attached to our Vercel project (not on the Emkay Ventures marketing VPS).
Analytics, ads, and tracking
The app is not built around third-party advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs in the shipped product as of this writing. If that changes in a future version, this policy should be updated and the App Store Privacy Nutrition Labels updated to match.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing. If you believe a child has provided information in a way that concerns you, contact us through the website below.
Security & retention
On-device weather responses are processed for display. Alert preference rows are retained while the alert is enabled; disabling the alert stops further pushes. Practice good device security (passcode, OS updates). We do not control OpenWeather’s or Apple’s retention of API/push metadata; see their policies.
Changes
We may update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised when we do.
