Privacy Policy

fstwthr (fstwthr.com) is a weather service with no accounts, no cookies, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. We do not build user profiles and we do not sell data. This page explains the little data that does flow through the service.

What we collect

• The location you provide — a city name, ZIP, or place string you type (or that an AI agent passes to a tool), used only to look up that location's forecast. We do not request or use precise GPS coordinates from you.
• Approximate location (web only) — our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) derives an approximate, city-level location from your IP so the homepage can default to local weather. It is used per-request and not stored by us.
• Standard request data — like any website, our infrastructure processes IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and protect the service, a small sample of which is retained briefly for operational diagnostics. We do not use it to identify or profile you.

What we do not collect

No accounts, names, email addresses, payment or card data, health data, government identifiers, authentication secrets, advertising identifiers, or behavioral tracking cookies.

How it is used

Solely to return weather forecasts and to operate and secure the service. Nothing else.

Who receives data

To fetch a forecast we send the location (coordinates or place name) to public/government data providers — NOAA (US), MET Norway (global), and OpenStreetMap/Nominatim (geocoding). Those requests carry our service identifier, not your identity. Cloudflare processes traffic as our infrastructure provider. We share data with no advertisers or data brokers.

Retention

Weather and geocoding results are cached transiently (minutes, up to ~30 days for a geocoded place) and are not personal to you. We keep no per-user records. Infrastructure request logs are short-lived and sampled.

Your choices

There is no account to manage. If you prefer coarser results, avoid putting a precise location in your request. Questions or requests (including about data) can be sent via GitHub issues.

Children

fstwthr is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We will post updates to this page with a new effective date.
