Introduction
This extension has a section in the PenguinMod Privacy Policy under "Editor extensions"
Early documentation.
This extension is intended for retrieving weather data all around the globe. For security purposes, we don't provide data that could potentially be used to doxx or expose a user's location online.
We remove the latitude and longitude from all results, as well as some other JSON keys that could result in the user getting doxxed.
We also will not, ever, make blocks that reveal the coordinates you selected. This would be a huge security no-no.
We will not remove these limitations because do you really want to expose the data of anyone who clicks the flag on your project? Don't be like that, dude.
Anyways, it's really recommended you know how JSON works and kinda familiarize yourself with it. It will be a key part of this process.
Privacy Policy
No one from the Ruby Developers team stores or keeps your location data in any way.
However, be warned that the services we use for data fetching and Ruby Developers are not in the same field.
All services are third-party, and as such, we don't control what they do with your data, as we aren't related to them.
If you have doubts about the security of your data or are worried about your privacy, we invite you to read these pages of the following services we retrieve our data from:
