Your location never leaves the lookup

  • Coordinates you search, click on the map, or share via browser geolocation are used in memory only to compute your forecast. Individual queries are never written to disk, logs or a database — on this site or on our server (access logging of query URLs is disabled).
  • Coordinates and place names are never put in page URLs and never sent to analytics.
  • The weather lookup sent upstream to Open-Meteo uses the center of a ~20 km grid cell, not your exact coordinates.

What we do count

Operational metrics are anonymous aggregate counters only: a time bucket, an outcome (for example "forecast served" or "weather upstream failed") and a count. No coordinates, IP addresses, user agents or referrers are kept.

Analytics

If web analytics (Google Analytics 4, PostHog) are enabled, they receive page views and a small set of product events such as forecast_viewed. Event properties pass an allowlist filter that strips anything resembling coordinates or place names. Session recording and autocapture are off. Visiting ?internal_traffic=1 marks a browser as internal and excludes it.

Local storage on your device

Two non-sensitive display flags may be stored in your browser: the red-light mode preference and the internal-traffic marker. Your locations are not stored — reloading the page forgets them.
