No, we never sell data from WeatherXM stations. By onboarding your station to our ecosystem, you contribute valuable data to our decentralized network, helping to create a stronger, more scalable data-sharing community.

Some of our apps include Bright SDK, a tool from Bright Data that lets us monetize a small amount of idle network resources instead of relying only on ads or paid upgrades. In return, we can keep more features free or offer extra perks to users.

Bright SDK anonymously indexes public web data from public websites (like e-commerce, travel, and consumer brand sites). It uses your internet connection to download a small number of public web pages in the background, without tracking you or showing ads.

Bright SDK does not collect your name, email, browsing history, app usage, cookies, or device identifiers. The only personal data it needs is your IP address, mainly to log your consent and comply with privacy laws. Users are otherwise anonymous and indistinguishable.

No. Bright SDK does not access your personal files, messages, logins, or passwords. It only fetches publicly available web pages that anyone could view in a browser without logging in.

Bright SDK is designed to use only idle device and network resources and to run in a way that should not materially impact your device performance or app experience. It does not inject ads or pop-ups.

According to Bright Data, Bright SDK is built to comply with major privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, and it does not use tracking, cookies, or advertising IDs

Yes. Participation is always optional. When one of our apps uses Bright SDK, you’ll see a clear offer/consent screen explaining what it does and what you get in return. You can decline and keep using the app’s core features as usual.

If you previously agreed and want to opt out, you can usually disable Bright SDK from that app’s settings screen or by following the link provided on the consent/offer screen. Once disabled, Bright SDK will stop using your connection for web indexing.
