Your privacy

Two settings: the units you read the weather in, and how the app looks. Both stay on your phone.

There is no account and no sign-in, so there is nothing about you to look up and nothing to delete.

Permission to use the internet, which is how it gets the weather, and to refresh the home screen widget in the background. If you want notifications it asks for those as well, and nothing arrives until you say yes. It never asks for your location, contacts, camera, microphone, or files.

Notifications are delivered by Firebase Cloud Messaging, which is Google's. Turning them on lets Firebase issue your phone a token: the address it uses to reach that one copy of the app.

Every notification goes out to everyone listening at once rather than to phones one at a time. Our server never receives the token and keeps no list of who is listening, so there is nothing here recording that you turned them on.

Turning notifications off, or removing the app, ends it. Leave them off and none of this happens.

The app reads current conditions, air quality, alerts, and posts from our server, and the forecast from the National Weather Service, asking for North Bend rather than for wherever you are. Neither request carries anything about you beyond what any app sends to reach a website.

Like nearly every web server, ours keeps ordinary access logs: the network address a request came from, the kind of device or browser that made it, and which page it asked for. We use them to keep the service running and to find problems.

Old logs are deleted within 90 days. Until then, we do not sell them, share them, or use them to follow anyone.

The app has no advertising and no analytics. Firebase is in it to deliver notifications and nothing else, and only once you ask for them.

If what the app does with information ever changes, this page changes first, and the date at the bottom moves with it.
