Privacy Policy

I.What we handle

When you use Weatherpipe, the app sends the following to our server so it can answer the question "what's the weather here?"

II.What stays on your device

Weatherpipe stores your last-used location on your device so the app can show something the moment it opens. This data is not transmitted unless you trigger a refresh.

III.Weather and place-name providers

Weather data comes from Open-Meteo, an independent weather-data service we license commercially. Our server holds the credentials; Open-Meteo receives only the coordinates needed to answer a forecast request, never anything that identifies you.

Place-name lookups use Open-Meteo's geocoding endpoint for forward search (city or postal code → coordinates) and Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) for reverse geocoding (coordinates → place name). Each receives only the coordinates or text you submit, by way of our server.

IV.Crash reporting, analytics, and subscriptions

To keep the app working and to handle paid subscriptions, the app sends a small amount of data directly from your device to three service providers. Each one sees only an anonymous, randomly generated device identifier — never your name, email, or any account information, because the app has no accounts.

• Sentry — receives crash reports and error logs (stack trace, device model, OS version, app version) so we can fix bugs. We do not send personal data or your weather coordinates to Sentry.
• PostHog — receives anonymous product-analytics events (for example: app opened, location permission granted, paywall viewed, trial started, purchase completed) so we can see which features get used. Tied to the anonymous device ID, not to you. PostHog also derives an approximate location (your city or region) from your IP address, so we can see which parts of the world the app is used in; it never receives your precise weather coordinates.
• RevenueCat — handles trial, subscription, and lifetime-purchase state, and validates purchase receipts. Keyed off the same anonymous device ID. The app is paid-only after the free trial, so RevenueCat is in the loop on every install.

These providers do not receive your weather coordinates, search terms, or place-name results — that data only flows along the path described in Section I.

V.What we do not do

• We do not show advertising.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data.
• We do not track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not tie any of the data above to a real-world identity, because the app has no accounts.

VI.Who runs Weatherpipe

Weatherpipe is published by NB Holdings, LLC, a single-member limited liability company registered in Wisconsin, United States. Under EU, UK, and similar data-protection law, that company is the data controller for everything described above. You can reach the controller about privacy matters at privacy@weatherpipe.com.

VII.Lawful basis and international transfers

For users in the EU, the UK, and other places where GDPR-style law applies, our lawful basis for handling the data in Section I — and for the subscription state in Section IV — is performance of the service you asked for (Article 6(1)(b)). For crash reports and anonymous product analytics, the basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the app working and understanding how it's used (Article 6(1)(f)); both run against an anonymous device identifier with no direct identifiers attached.

Sentry, PostHog, and RevenueCat — the providers in Section IV — are operated from the United States, so data sent to them is transferred outside the EU and UK. Each participates in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and offers Standard Contractual Clauses to cover those transfers.

VIII.Your rights

The app deliberately doesn't tie what it sees to a real-world identity, which makes most of these rights simpler to exercise than at a service that knows who you are — but it also means exercising them usually requires a small back-and-forth so we can identify the records associated with your specific install. Email privacy@weatherpipe.com and we'll guide you from there.

• Access — what we hold per-install is essentially the data described in Section I plus, for paying users, a subscription record at RevenueCat.
• Erasure — uninstalling the app removes the device identifier it uses, breaking the link to any past events at our processors. We can also forward a deletion request to the processors named in Section IV on your behalf.
• Object / restrict analytics — we can opt your install's identifier out of further analytics events.
• Portability — beyond the subscription record above, there isn't structured personal data to port. We can export that record on request.
• Complaint — EU and UK users have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data-protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).

California residents have parallel access and deletion rights under the CCPA, plus the right to opt out of "sale" of personal information. We don't sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising — there is nothing to opt out of.

IX.Children

Weatherpipe is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

X.Changes

If this policy changes in a way that meaningfully affects what data is handled, the effective date above will be updated and a notice will appear in the app.
