Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

WxDeck has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and it does not sell or share your information for advertising. This page explains what it does with the little information it uses.

Your location

If you allow it, WxDeck uses your iPhone's location to show the forecast and radar for where you are. To get that weather it sends the coordinates of the place you are looking at (your location, or a place you searched for) to U.S. government weather services, listed below. WxDeck does not keep a history of where you have been, and it has no server of its own that stores your location.

You can turn location off at any time in iPhone Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Location Services. WxDeck still works if you search for a place instead.

What is stored on your phone

Places you save, your settings (palette, font and similar), and the most recent weather data, so the app can show something when you have no connection. This stays on your phone. Deleting the app deletes it.

Who receives requests

To show the weather, your phone connects to these services. Each one sees the request, which includes the place being asked about and your phone's internet address, as with any website. Each has its own privacy policy.

• National Weather Service (api.weather.gov, weather.gov): forecasts, alerts, observations, forecast text.
• NOAA (mapservices.weather.noaa.gov, nomads.ncep.noaa.gov, tgftp.nws.noaa.gov, the Storm Prediction Center, Climate Prediction Center, Weather Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, National Data Buoy Center and Tides and Currents): radar, current-conditions analysis, outlooks, marine, tropical, buoy and tide data.
• NOAA Regional Climate Centers (data.rcc-acis.org): daily normals and records for a place.
• Iowa Environmental Mesonet (mesonet.agron.iastate.edu): upper-air soundings.
• Amazon Web Services public NEXRAD archive (unidata-nexrad-level2.s3.amazonaws.com): single-site radar scans. These requests do not include a place.
• Apple: the map you see is Apple Maps, and place search uses Apple's location services. Apple's privacy policy applies.

What WxDeck does not do

• It does not create accounts or ask for your name, email or phone number.
• It does not include advertising or analytics code, and it does not track you across other apps or websites.
• It does not sell your information.

Children

WxDeck is a general-audience weather app. It does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If WxDeck changes in a way that affects this policy, for example by adding an account, a new data service or a subscription, this page will be updated first and the date above will change.
