5.3. The set and availability of functions may vary depending on the operating system, the Application version, the distribution region, the state of the server infrastructure, and the device's technical capabilities.

6. The Application Is Not a Medical Device

6.1. The Application is an information service and a self-monitoring tool. It is not a medical device and is not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of illness, medical rehabilitation, or medical monitoring.

6.2. The Materials, the "Weather Impact" assessment, reminders, and other messages are for informational purposes only; they do not constitute a medical opinion, prescription, individual medical recommendation, or guidance for action, and do not replace consultation with a specialist.

6.3. If the User's condition worsens, symptoms of illness appear, or health-related decisions need to be made, the User should consult a qualified medical professional. The Application is not intended for emergency situations.

7. User Content and On-Device Storage

7.1. User Content is created and stored on the User's device. It is not transmitted to the MeteoCare.RU server database, is not linked by the Rights Holder to the installation UUID, and is not used by the Rights Holder for advertising, analytics, or profiling.

7.2. The Rights Holder does not access the diary's contents, does not review, edit, or interpret it, including in a medical context, and has no technical means to recover deleted local entries.

7.3. The User independently determines the content and accuracy of the information entered and is responsible for the lawfulness of entering third parties' data.

7.5. Exported files are saved to a location chosen by the User and are not transmitted to the Rights Holder. The User independently determines who receives the exported data and ensures its protection after export.

8. Personal Data

8.1. To provide Server Functions, the Application transmits to the Operator's server the installation UUID, coordinates or the selected city, the city identifier, information about the platform and Application version, request parameters, and technical data. Such processing is carried out for the performance of this Agreement, technical operation, and security, and does not depend on Consent to personalized advertising.

8.2. The scope of the data, purposes, legal grounds, retention periods, recipients, and the User's rights are set out in detail in the Privacy Policy and the Personal Data Processing Rules.

Personal Data Processing Rules: https://meteocare.ru/personal-data-processing-rules

Consent to Personalized Advertising: https://meteocare.ru/personal-ads-consent

8.3. The operating system's geolocation permission and the choice of advertising mode are granted separately. Declining geolocation does not prevent manual city selection. Declining personalization does not restrict access to the Application's functions and results in the display of non-personalized advertising.

8.4. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the special documents on personal data with respect to processing matters, the provisions of the relevant special document shall apply.

9. Advertising

9.1. In versions of the Application that include advertising integration, the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK is used to display third-party advertising.

9.2. Personalized advertising is displayed only after a separate Consent has been given.

9.3. The device's coordinates are not transmitted to the advertising SDK or to advertising-infrastructure participants. The use of location data for ad targeting has been disabled by the Rights Holder programmatically using the advertising SDK's built-in tools.

9.4. The advertising mode may be changed by the User in the Application's settings. Changing the mode to non-personalized constitutes withdrawal of Consent to personalization and does not affect the processing of data necessary for Server Functions, diagnostics, and security.

9.5. The Rights Holder is not the seller of the advertised goods and services and does not determine the content of third-party advertising materials. This provision does not limit the Rights Holder's liability in cases established by law.

10.1. The Application may generate local notifications directly on the device, including reminders to check the forecast and fill in the diary.

10.2. Local notifications do not use server-side dispatch infrastructure, and push-notification tokens are not processed. The User manages notifications in the settings of the Application and the operating system.

14.4. The Rights Holder is not liable for the loss of User Content resulting from deletion of the Application, malfunction, loss of the device, or the User's actions, since the Rights Holder does not receive or store such content on its servers.
