PRIVACY FIRST

• No ads, no tracking, no account, no advertising IDs
• No analytics SDK — SunZones collects no data about how you use the app
• Your saved places stay on your device. Their names and coordinates are sent nowhere, ever
• Crash reports are the one thing SunZones sends, so a launch bug gets found and fixed. Places and coordinates are stripped out first, and you can switch it off in Settings → Diagnostics
• Reminders and the widget run entirely on your device — no push service, no backend
• Payments are handled by Google Play; SunZones never sees your payment details

Sun times are computed with commons-suncalc against each location's own time zone, so a city on the other side of the world reads the way its residents read it — not the way your phone does.

Time zone fixes.

• Saved cities get the right time zone again. 1.7.20 put Santiago on Brazilian time and missed zones such as western Mongolia, Easter Island and the Chatham Islands. Cities you saved are corrected automatically.
• Near the midnight sun, the card no longer shows night before a sunset after midnight.
• A reminder for one city no longer silences another.
