PART II: PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DATA PRACTICES

9. Dual Degrees

9.1 Collection and Use

Location Data: If you grant location permissions, Dual Degrees collects your device's location data solely to provide weather information for your current location. Location data is transmitted to weather data providers to retrieve forecasts and is used in anonymized form for analytics purposes. Location data is not stored on our servers or associated with any personally identifiable information.

Subscription and Purchase Information: If you subscribe to Dual Degrees+ or make any in-app purchase, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store (iOS) or Google through Google Play (Android). We do not directly collect, process, or store your payment information (such as credit card numbers, billing addresses, or Apple ID / Google account credentials).

We may receive limited, non-financial information from Apple or Google related to your transaction, including:

This information is used solely to verify your subscription status and deliver the appropriate features. It is not used for marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to providing the service you purchased.

9.2 Sharing

Weather Data Providers: Your location coordinates are transmitted to third-party weather APIs to retrieve forecast data. These providers receive only the location coordinates necessary to fulfill the request.

Apple and Google: Subscription and purchase transactions are processed by Apple (iOS) or Google (Android). Their handling of your data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and App Store Terms of Service, or Google's Privacy Policy and Google Play Terms of Service, respectively.

DD Cloud is a free optional service that allows you to sync your settings, saved cities, and other preferences across multiple devices and back up your data. If you choose to create a DD Cloud account, we collect:

Creating a DD Cloud account is entirely optional. If you do not create an account, your data continues to be stored only on your device.

10.4 Retention

DD Cloud account data (email address, username, and synced user data) is retained for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your DD Cloud account, your account data and synced data will be deleted from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

10.5 Rights and Choices

You can update or delete your DD Cloud account at any time within the Dual Degrees app. Deleting your account will remove your email address, username, and all synced data from our servers within 30 days.


11. Lightning API

11.1 Collection

If you create a developer account to access the Lightning API, we collect:

11.2 Use

Your email and password are used to authenticate your developer account. Your phone number (if provided) and TOTP secret (if enabled) are used solely to verify your identity during two-factor authentication. Stripe customer and subscription identifiers are used to manage your billing and plan entitlements.

API usage logs (IP address, endpoint, timestamp, response status) are used to enforce your plan's rate limits and daily quotas, detect abuse or key sharing, and maintain the security and reliability of the API.

11.3 Sharing

Stripe: Subscription payments for the Lightning API are processed entirely by Stripe. Stripe collects and processes your payment details directly; we never receive or store your full card number. Stripe's handling of your data is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

SMS Delivery Provider: If you enable SMS two-factor authentication for your Lightning API account, your phone number and verification codes are transmitted to our SMS delivery provider solely to send you the code.

11.4 Retention

Lightning API developer account data (email, hashed password, hashed API keys, and 2FA settings) is retained for as long as your account remains active. API usage logs are retained only as long as necessary for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security purposes, and are periodically purged thereafter. If you cancel your Lightning API subscription and request account deletion, your account data will be deleted from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or by our payment processor's own record-keeping obligations.

11.5 Rights and Choices

You can generate, view, and revoke API keys, manage two-factor authentication, and manage your subscription at any time from your Lightning API developer dashboard. To request deletion of your Lightning API account, contact legal@warpulse.com.


12. WarpStash

12.1 Collection

If you create a WarpStash account, we collect:

12.2 Use

Your email and password are used to authenticate your account. Uploaded files and metadata are stored and served back to you, and used to power features such as folder organization and shareable links. Stripe customer and subscription identifiers are used to manage your billing and plan entitlements.

12.3 Storage and Security

Files stored on WarpStash are end-to-end encrypted: encryption and decryption happen on your device, and the Company never has access to your encryption keys or the unencrypted contents of your files. This means we are unable to recover file contents if you lose your account credentials or encryption keys.

12.4 Sharing

Stripe: Subscription payments for WarpStash are processed entirely by Stripe. Stripe collects and processes your payment details directly; we never receive or store your full card number. Stripe's handling of your data is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Your uploaded files and account data are stored on secure, redundant cloud storage infrastructure. These providers process your data only as necessary to provide storage and retrieval functionality, under appropriate data processing agreements.

12.5 Retention

WarpStash account data and stored files are retained for as long as your account remains active. If you delete a file, it is removed from active storage within a reasonable period, though residual copies may briefly persist in backups before being purged. If you delete your WarpStash account, your account data and stored files will be deleted from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or by our payment processor's own record-keeping obligations.

12.6 Rights and Choices

You can delete individual files, manage shareable links, and manage your subscription at any time from your WarpStash account settings. To request deletion of your WarpStash account and stored files, contact legal@warpulse.com.


13. Odin

13.1 Collection

Odin is a Discord bot. In Discord servers where a server administrator has added and enabled Odin, we collect your Discord user ID and the server's Discord server ID, along with in-server activity data: the number of messages you send, your voice-channel hours, and your in-server game activity. Odin does not collect this data for you in any server it has not been added to, and does not collect the content of your messages.

13.2 Use

This data is used to power server stats and leaderboard-style features within the Discord server where it was collected.

13.3 Sharing

We do not share this data with third parties. Stats and leaderboard features built from this data are visible only within the Discord server where the data was collected, the same as any other in-server bot feature.

13.4 Retention

This data is retained for as long as Odin remains active in that Discord server.

13.5 Rights and Choices

Odin does not currently offer a self-serve command to delete or opt out of this tracking. Leaving the Discord server or a server administrator removing Odin from the server stops future tracking, but does not retroactively delete data already collected. To request deletion of data Odin has collected about you, contact legal@warpulse.com. For more on Odin, see the Terms and Conditions.
