Introduction
Sweather ("we", "our", "the app") is a sport-specific weather scoring app built by Rob Mulder, based in the Netherlands. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Data We Collect
Location data. When you grant permission, Sweather accesses your device's GPS location to fetch weather forecasts for your current position. This location data is sent directly to weather API providers (see below) and is never stored on our servers.
Saved locations. Locations you save (city name, coordinates, emoji) are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. They are not transmitted to any server.
App preferences. Settings like your preferred sports, wind speed unit, personality level, and weather provider are stored locally on your device.
No accounts. Sweather does not require user registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personal identifiers.
Third-Party Weather Services
To provide weather scores, Sweather sends your coordinates (latitude/longitude) to the following services:
- Open-Meteo — Open-source weather API. Privacy policy
- Apple WeatherKit — Apple's weather framework. Subject to Apple's privacy policy
- Buienradar — KNMI radar data for the Netherlands/Belgium
- Bright Sky — DWD radar data for Germany. More info
We only transmit the minimum data required (coordinates) to fetch forecasts. No personal information is shared with these services.
Data Storage
All app data is stored locally on your device. Sweather does not operate any backend servers or cloud databases. We have no ability to access, read, or recover your data.
Analytics & Tracking
Sweather does not include any analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or tracking pixels. We do not track your usage, behavior, or interactions within the app.
Children's Privacy
