Information used to provide weather
WeatherVerity uses Cloudflare to deliver and protect this website. Network requests involve technical information such as an IP address. Cloudflare may provide an approximate city and country from your connection to populate “Your location”. We do not request GPS permission. An approximate location can be inaccurate; you can choose another city.
If you choose “Set as my location”, this browser remembers the public place ID. It is not an account or a precise street address. Your selected place and approximate-location response are sent privately and are not stored in shared page caches.
If you choose “Add to favorites”, this browser stores up to five public place IDs and their display names. The favorites list is not sent to our server or synchronized to an account. Opening a favorite requests that public place page in the normal way. Favorites do not change your separate saved location.
Purposes and legal basis
The following paragraph describes necessary delivery and security processing only. Optional audience analytics is separate and requires your consent, as described below.
We rely on legitimate interests under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) to deliver requested forecasts, show useful weather from a coarse location estimate, prevent abuse and answer ordinary enquiries. Our interests are a usable, reliable service and responding to you. We limit location to a city, avoid visitor profiles and audience tracking, and restrict request protection to short time windows. Saving a location or favorites is optional and provides the preference you expressly request. Where we must meet a legal obligation, such as a valid data-rights request, the basis is Article 6(1)(c). Technical connection data is necessary to deliver a page; saving a place or contacting us is optional. We do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
Storage and retention
The saved place remains in this browser until you reset it or clear site data. The homepage has a “Reset saved location” control after an explicit place choice. Favorites remain in this browser until you remove them individually or clear site data. Removing the last favorite removes the favorites storage entry. Resetting your saved location does not remove favorites. Request protection uses a daily keyed IP pseudonym with a one-minute rate-limit window; this is pseudonymous, not anonymous, information. We do not keep a visitor-IP database. Persistent Worker request logs and application refresh logs are disabled in this release.
Public search results are cached for up to one day and place metadata for up to seven days. Weather freshness ranges from five to thirty minutes, with bounded, labelled fallback periods. Shared records are scheduled for cleanup after expiry and a cleanup delay. These caches are not visitor profiles. Aggregate provider counters contain no visitor identifiers. Cloudflare separately processes network and security data under its Privacy Policy, including its own retention criteria for service, security and legal needs. That processing is distinct from our disabled Worker logs.
Service providers and transfers
Cloudflare provides hosting and security. Its global service can process technical information outside the EEA, including in the United States. Its Data Processing Addendum forms part of its service terms and supplies transfer mechanisms, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary safeguards where applicable. Contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to your information.
OpenMeteo GmbH in Switzerland provides weather and geocoding. Our server sends public place queries and city coordinates without forwarding visitor IP addresses, browser headers or saved-location labels. Search suggestions send the place text to our server after at least three characters and a short pause; on a cache miss we forward it to Open-Meteo. Suggestions and submitted searches share the same result cache. The browser temporarily reuses suggestions in memory, without saving a search history to local storage. Enter place names only, not private information. Open-Meteo associates API usage with our subscription and states that individual API logs are removed after 90 days, retaining aggregate usage. See its Terms & Privacy and our Sources & method.
If you write to hello@weatherverity.com, we process your address, message and attachments to respond. We use Google Workspace (Gmail) to receive and answer email directly at our domain. Google processes mailbox content under its Cloud Data Processing Addendum. Processing may occur outside the EEA, including in the United States, with applicable transfer safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Messages and attachments are not published on this website. Optional Google smart features are disabled for this mailbox. Avoid passwords, API keys, sensitive information and precise home addresses. We permanently delete ordinary correspondence from our mailbox within 90 days after a matter is closed. Google’s deletion from its systems can take additional time under its Data Processing Addendum. Relevant records may be retained for a specific legal claim until final resolution or expiry of the applicable limitation period; such exceptions are reviewed separately.
Your right to object
You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact hello@weatherverity.com. We will assess the objection and stop processing unless the applicable legal conditions allow it to continue.
Your other rights
You can browse weather without saving a place. You may request access, correction, deletion or restriction where applicable. Portability applies where its legal conditions are met; the necessary processing described here is not based on consent or contract. You can withdraw consent to optional analytics at any time. We normally respond within one month, subject to permitted extensions. We do not collect extra identifiers solely to identify people in otherwise unidentified weather data. Contact hello@weatherverity.com. You may complain to the data protection authority where you live, including Datatilsynet in Norway.
Optional Google Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to measure page views and selected weather feature events. Consent is the legal basis. Data includes pseudonymous cookie identifiers, device and browser information, language, country or region, a sanitized referrer and sanitized page paths. We do not send names, email addresses, free-text searches or precise location. Advertising features and Google signals are disabled. Google may process data outside the EEA with applicable transfer safeguards. Event data is retained for two months. Analytics cookies and your locally stored consent choice last up to six months. You can withdraw consent through Analytics choices in the footer. Withdrawal stops future collection; it does not retroactively remove data lawfully processed before withdrawal.
