1.0 Open Project Philosophy & Public Service Mission

MyMET was conceived to democratize environmental, seismic, atmospheric, and space weather awareness for people around the world. We believe that access to critical safety telemetry—such as earthquake epicenters, river flood advisories, severe weather forecasts, and solar radiation anomalies—should remain freely accessible without commercial barriers or paywalls on safety-critical alerts.

As an open project operated by QL Studio, our focus is delivering reliable, consolidated data feeds directly to citizens, researchers, travelers, and local communities across Malaysia and internationally.

2.0 Voluntary Donations & Supporter Subscriptions Policy

To deliver real-time data processing, push notifications, and high-uptime cloud infrastructure without compromising user privacy, MyMET incurs ongoing operational costs. We provide a transparent, voluntary funding model:

2.3 Exclusive Dedication of Funds to MyMET Development

100% of all voluntary donations and supporter subscription proceeds are ring-fenced and strictly dedicated to supporting MyMET's active operations and continuous development. These funds directly cover:

• Cloud computing, telemetry ingestion servers, and high-concurrency database synchronization.
• High-bandwidth data delivery, proxy caching, and upstream agency API quota licenses.
• Development, testing, and distribution of new features, platform compatibility updates, and security maintenance across Android, iOS, and Web.
• Push notification gateway infrastructure for low-latency emergency alert delivery.

2.4 No Equity, Ownership, or Commercial Governance

Voluntary donations and supporter subscriptions are purely patron contributions to sustain a public project. Making a donation or purchasing a supporter subscription does NOT convey any equity, shareholding, partnership interest, copyright, intellectual property ownership, voting rights, or editorial/operational control over MyMET, QL Studio, or Qim Lab Enterprise.

2.5 Supporter Acknowledgments & Perks

As a gesture of gratitude, active supporters may receive cosmetic or usability perks (such as a digital supporter badge, customized theme styles, or early preview access to experimental tools). However, core public safety features, earthquake alerts, and weather monitoring data will never be locked behind a paywall.

2.6 Cancellation & Refund Policy

• Subscription Cancellation: You can cancel or modify your supporter subscription at any time directly through your platform subscription management settings (e.g. Google Play Store > Subscriptions). Cancellation prevents future billing while maintaining supporter status until the end of the current billing cycle.
• Refunds: Because donations and supporter subscription fees are immediately applied toward active server compute and data bandwidth costs, voluntary donations and completed subscription billing periods are non-refundable, except where strictly required by applicable statutory consumer law or official platform store (Google Play) refund policies.

3.0 Data Privacy Policy & Malaysian PDPA 2010 Compliance

In accordance with the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and Qim Lab Enterprise master privacy rules:

• No Selling of Personal Data: We never sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information, location telemetry, or device identifiers to third-party ad brokers or tracking networks.
• Device Location Data: If granted by you, location data is used exclusively on your device or in real-time transit to calculate proximity to earthquake epicenters, deliver localized weather warnings, and display nearby river level stations. Location coordinates are not permanently logged or tracked on external servers.
• Notification Permissions: Used solely to push critical seismic, tsunami, and severe meteorological advisories to your device.
• Anonymous Analytics: We may collect non-identifiable, aggregated technical metrics (e.g. app crash reports, OS version, API latency) to identify bugs and optimize platform stability.

4.0 Third-Party Data Sources & Emergency Disclaimer
