Data Policy
When collecting or updating data all information is transferred using encripted SSL protocols. We do not store personal data other than that derived from the user's IP number, which is the standard internet protocol.
We do not share information with third parties and we do not trade with customer data.
Credit Cards
We do not store any credit card data. We process our transactions through SaferPay, a SIX Payment Services, and Fondy Payment Gateway. They have the higher standard of security required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
We use your email to deliver invoices and to notify you of any problems with subscriptions or respond to your queries. Other than that we do not send any unrequested emails. Simply put, we hate spam.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of text data stored in the user's computer when visiting a web site. meteoexploration.com uses cookies to store favourite places and last visited sites. It also stores user's preferences such as language and units system and to pass the mountain or ski resort code from one module to another.
Cookies are simple text files and cannot contain viruses or malware. The cookies used by meteoexploration.com do not store personal information or user's behaviour.
You can block cookies on your browser or select blocking cookies from third parties (see your browser help and preferences on privacy). If you block all cookies you can still see the forecasts but favourites will be lost and some modules will display null values, as they do not know the code of the site you want to see.
The most annoying thing about cookies is the message that we are forced to display asking for your consent. It is an imposition of the EU, we disagree completely with it, but we have to comply by force.
