App legal notice

Conditions associated to the receipt of alert notifications from the app

The user of the application will receive the notifications that he has activated. Notifications can be of hazardous weather situations and/or when the indicated values of the chosen variables of the automatic weather stations are exceeded.

The user can configure the reception of notifications by indicating the municipality or county of interest. The Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya stores the last location. This information does not allow to identify the citizen, and it will never be used for any other purpose nor will it be given to third parties.

Receipt of notifications may be impaired in an emergency situation such as:

• Data coverage in mobile terminals
• The state of the telecommunications networks
• The quality of the distribution of notifications by the manufacturer of the corresponding mobile operating system
• The good condition and configuration of the mobile terminal

The Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya accepts no responsibility for any damages, losses, claims or expenses caused by the incorrect functioning of the notification service. It is recommended that the user of the application is also informed through other communication channels. 

Reuse of app information

Law 37/2007, of 16 November, on the re-use of public sector information, which transposes Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, regulates the reuse of public information held by administrations and organisations in which they have a majority stake, i.e. the right of all potential market agents to reuse information from public bodies. According to this regulation, the Administration allows the reproduction, distribution and public communication of the work and, furthermore, the transformation of the work to make derivative works, as long as this does not contradict the licence or notice that a work may have and which is the prevailing one.

In order to reuse the information, the following conditions must be met:

• Do not distort the meaning of the information
• Cite the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya of the Generalitat de Catalunya as the source of the information
• Mention the date of the last update of the information

Furthermore, reuse may be limited by the protection of other priority legal interests, such as the protection of personal data, privacy or the intellectual property rights of third parties. The reuse of works protected by intellectual property can be formalised through the use of open dissemination licences, such as Creative Commons licences, which grant certain rights to exploit the works. In contents where this type of licence is applied, reuse is permitted under the established conditions.

The use of logos, brands, coats of arms and distinctive symbols of the Generalitat de Catalunya in publications, websites and mobile services that are not participated in or sponsored by this institution is not authorised under any circumstances. These elements of corporate graphic identification are the exclusive property of the Generalitat de Catalunya and are protected by the applicable legislation in force.
