Privacy Policy

Welcome to Stormdrop. This Privacy Policy explains how Stormdrop Lamp LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our website, launch list, Stormdrop mobile application, and devices (the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide to Us

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. If you sign up using a third-party service like Google or Apple, we receive your email address and name from that service.
• Launch List: If you join our launch list, we collect your name, email address, optional interest selection, consent, the signup button used, landing page, referring page, and campaign parameters included in the link. We use this to share pilot, launch, and Kickstarter news and understand which outreach is useful; you can unsubscribe at any time.
• Device Configuration Information: To set up your Stormdrop device, we collect your Wi-Fi network name (SSID), Wi-Fi password, and zip code. Your Wi-Fi credentials are sent directly to your device and are not stored on our servers. Your zip code is stored to provide weather data.
• User-Generated Content: We store the custom names and locations you assign to your devices (for example, “Living Room Lamp”) and any custom color scenes you create.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

• Device and Usage Information: We may collect information about your mobile device and your Stormdrop lamp, including your device's IP address, operating system, and crash data to help us diagnose and fix problems.
• Device Status: To provide core app functionality and diagnose reliability, a connected lamp periodically sends its Wi-Fi MAC address, firmware version, selected ZIP code, and last-seen time to our cloud service. The app may also sync its online status, current weather condition, and temperature.
• Website Analytics: If you allow analytics, Google Analytics processes page visits, referral information, device or browser details, approximate location derived from your IP address, and launch-list conversion events. We disable Google advertising signals and advertising-personalization signals. Your analytics choice is stored in your browser and can be changed using the Analytics choices button.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
• To create and manage your account.
• To fetch and display accurate weather data for your location using your zip code.
• To save and sync your custom device names and color scenes.
• To diagnose and fix technical problems and improve the stability of our Service.
• To measure website use, launch-list conversion, and the effectiveness of our outreach.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with the following third-party service providers to perform services on our behalf:

• Google (Firebase): We use Firebase for user authentication, database hosting, and crash reporting.
• Weather Providers: We send your ZIP code to our weather service to retrieve local data. No other personal information is shared with weather providers.
• Netlify: We use Netlify to host the website and process launch-list forms.
• Google Analytics: If you consent, we use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and launch-list conversions. We do not enable advertising personalization.

Data Storage and Security

Your account information, device settings, and custom scenes are stored securely on our cloud infrastructure. We take reasonable measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access.

Account & Data Deletion

You can access and update your information through the app. The private pilot is still maturing its full data-deletion workflow, so this policy does not promise automatic deletion of every associated cloud record when an account is deleted.

• In the app: Open the Profile screen and tap Delete Account to remove your app sign-in account.
• By email: To request deletion of associated device records, custom scenes, or launch-list information, email support@stormdroplamp.com from the address associated with the request.
