Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how hongry.dev and its subdomain web applications—including TrueTime, HereWeather, EV-Lens, Public-Lens, anyTools, and MoodCast (collectively, the "Service")—collect, process, and protect information when you visit our websites. We respect your privacy rights and comply with applicable data protection regulations.
1. Information We Collect and How It Is Processed
Our blog (hongry.dev) and core web utility services do not require account registration or the submission of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, phone number, or residential address. Depending on which feature you use, the following technical data may be processed:
- Location Data (GPS Coordinates): HereWeather (hyper-local weather), EV-Lens (EV charging station map), and Public-Lens (public amenity map) may request access to your browser's HTML5 Geolocation API to display information near your current position. Coordinate data is used strictly in real time to resolve forecast grids or query nearby map markers and is never stored as a personal location history on our servers.
- Client-Side Processed Files and Text: In anyTools, any text, token, document (HWP, PDF, Office), or image you input is processed locally inside your browser's memory (client-side) and is not uploaded to our servers.
- Automatically Collected Information (Cookies & Log Data): For security, traffic analytics, and advertising delivery, standard non-identifying log data (such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer URL, access timestamp, and cookies) may be automatically collected.
2. How We Use Information
Any accessed or automatically collected information is used strictly for the following purposes:
- Providing Location-Based Features: Displaying hyper-local weather forecasts (HereWeather), nearby EV charger availability (EV-Lens), and nearby public amenities (Public-Lens).
- Service Reliability & Optimization: Monitoring site performance, diagnosing technical errors, and protecting against automated abuse.
- Advertising & Site Sustainability: Serving personalized or non-personalized advertisements via Google AdSense.

4. Data Retention and Deletion
Coordinates accessed by location-based tools are discarded immediately after fulfilling the current session request and are not archived on our servers. Cookies and analytics data managed by third-party providers (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) are retained and deleted in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
5. Your Rights and Browser Controls
You have full control over browser permissions and cookie storage at any time:
