Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

weNow ("we", "our", "the app") is a weather application. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is handled.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Location Data

When you grant location permission, the app accesses your device's geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to fetch weather data for your area. Location data is:

• Stored locally on your device (in app storage) so we can remember your selected location between sessions.
• Sent to our backend server per request to retrieve weather data. It is processed in memory and never stored on our servers.
• Forwarded to third-party weather providers (see Section 3) to obtain forecasts. Each provider receives your coordinates only for the duration of the API call.

You can deny location permission and manually search for a city instead. You can revoke location permission at any time through your device settings.

1.2 IP Address

For rate limiting purposes, we store a one-way cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your IP address. The original IP address cannot be recovered from this hash. Hashed IP records are automatically deleted after 7 days.

1.3 Feedback Messages

If you submit feedback through the app, we store the message text and your app language. Feedback is fully anonymous — no email, name, or identifying information is attached.

1.4 Subscription Data

If you make an in-app purchase, we store an anonymous RevenueCat identifier, your platform (iOS/Android), and subscription status. This data is not linked to your name, email, or any personal account.

1.5 Local Storage

The app stores the following on your device only:

• Your selected location (coordinates and city name)
• Language preference
• Whether you have completed the intro
• Widget location configurations

This data never leaves your device and is cleared when you uninstall the app.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

• No user accounts or sign-ups required
• No email addresses
• No names or personal identifiers
• No analytics or usage tracking
• No advertising identifiers
• No cookies (web version)
• No crash reporting or telemetry

3. Third-Party Services

To provide weather data, your coordinates are sent to the following services during each weather request:

• OpenWeatherMap — weather data and geocoding
• WeatherAPI — weather data
• Open-Meteo — weather data
• Visual Crossing — weather data

For in-app purchases:

• RevenueCat — subscription management

Each service has its own privacy policy linked above. We encourage you to review them.

4. Data Retention

5. Data Processing Location

Our backend runs on Cloudflare Workers with EU smart placement enabled, meaning requests from EU users are processed within the European Union. Data is processed in memory and not persisted beyond the retention periods described above.

6. Children's Privacy

weNow does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app does not require an account and collects no personal information.

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR and similar regulations, you have the right to:

• Access — request what data we hold about you
• Deletion — request deletion of your data
• Portability — receive your data in a portable format
• Objection — object to data processing

Since we collect minimal anonymous data, most of these rights are satisfied by design. To exercise any right, contact us at the address below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
