Weather privacy policy

Effective date: September 17, 2026

Weather provides forecasts, historical weather context, saved locations, and configurable home-screen widgets. No account is required.

Location and forecast requests

You can search for a place or optionally grant access to your device's approximate location. The selected place name and coordinates are sent over HTTPS to the Weather service at api.weather.vespy.eu so it can return forecasts and resolve location names. The service sends coordinates and forecast parameters to Open-Meteo. Reverse location lookup uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Official weather warnings are obtained from MeteoAlarm country feeds. If you enable mushroom conditions, nearby observation requests may also be sent to iNaturalist.

Saved places, widget choices, display preferences, and the active location are stored locally on your device. They are removed when you clear the app's storage or uninstall the app.

Optional analytics

Firebase Analytics is disabled by default. If you explicitly allow analytics, the app records feature interactions such as forecast loads, settings changes, and promotion views or clicks. It does not include searched place names, coordinates, or weather search text in analytics events. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalization remain disabled. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings.

Issue reports

If you choose Report an issue, the description you enter, the app version, and basic diagnostic information are sent to the Weather service. You can also choose to include device details, display and widget settings, location names, a diagnostic image of the app, the latest locally rendered image of every widget, exact rendering dimensions, and sanitized forecast values needed to reproduce the rendering. Reports do not include precise coordinates. Reports are used only to investigate and fix the reported problem and are automatically deleted no later than 30 days after submission.

The app returns a report ID after a successful submission. You can request deletion by emailing the report ID to vespy.weather@gmail.com. The service may send a new-report notification through ntfy containing only the opaque report ID and app version. The report description, device details, locations, and images are not sent to the notification provider.

Server logs

Infrastructure providers may process IP addresses, request URLs, device user-agent information, timestamps, and error details in access or security logs. Request URLs can include a selected place or coordinates. These logs are used only to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service and are retained according to operational log rotation.

Promotions and external links

The app may display first-party promotions for other Vespy products. Opening a promotion sends you to the linked website, which has its own privacy practices. Weather does not use an advertising SDK.

Security and sharing

Network requests use HTTPS. Data is disclosed only to service providers needed to deliver forecasts, location lookup, optional observations, analytics you consent to, hosting, and security. Weather does not sell personal data.
