Privacy, in plain language.
effective june 10, 2026 · covers the apps (iOS, Android, macOS) and bleepingweather.com
The short version
We don't want your data. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no trackers, nothing sold to anyone. We're here to insult the weather, not to follow you around.
Location
Showing your weather requires coordinates. If you grant location access, your approximate coordinates go directly to Open-Meteo, a weather data provider, for the sole purpose of fetching the forecast. We never receive, store, or log your location on any server of ours. Enter a location manually and the same applies to what you typed. Open-Meteo's handling is covered by their terms.
What stays on your device
Your settings (location choice, profanity level, colors, layout) live on your device and never leave it.
This website
The homepage demo works like the apps: coordinates go to Open-Meteo from your browser, and a phrase comes from our server. That request says what the sky is doing ("rain"), not who you are. If you use the location button, your browser also asks a reverse-geocoding service for your city's name, which is shown to you and kept nowhere.
Our phrase-voting page stores the name you choose and your ratings, because counting votes is its entire job. That's the whole list.
Purchases
Anything you buy in the apps is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see payment details.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date. We're not going to get worse at privacy and hope you don't notice.
