Privacy
What we collect (and don't).
Location
To show you local weather, we need a rough idea of where you are. We use one of two methods:
- IP geolocation via Netlify's edge headers. This gives us your city/region only, never a precise location, and is used only for the current request.
- Browser geolocation, only if you click "Use my location." We never request this without you asking.
Your saved location preference is stored in your browser's
localStorage, on your device. We never receive it.
Cookies
We don't set tracking cookies. If you've enabled ads (we display Google AdSense to keep the site free), Google may set its own cookies; their policies are at policies.google.com/technologies/ads .
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics that don't profile individual visitors or track you across sites.
Data sources
Weather data comes from the National Weather Service (a US government agency), NEXRAD radar tiles served by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet at Iowa State University, Open-Meteo (for short-term precipitation timing and air quality), and Zippopotam (for ZIP-code lookups). We don't share any information about you with these services beyond the latitude and longitude required to fetch your forecast — or, in the case of Zippopotam, the ZIP code you typed.
