Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

We do not sell any user data. We never have and never will. We do not track you across other apps or websites.

1. Information We Collect

This app collects minimal, anonymous data to improve performance.

  • Usage Analytics (optional): Anonymous app events (screens viewed, features used). No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out in the app's Settings screen.
  • Crash Reports: Automated crash reports to diagnose bugs.
  • Device Information: iOS version, app version, and install date for compatibility.
  • Location (optional): Your device location is used to display your position on the map and find nearby radar sites. Location data is processed locally and not stored on our servers.
  • Spotter Network (opt-in only): If you enable Spotter Network position sharing in Settings, your location is sent directly to spotternetwork.org to share your position with other storm spotters. This data is not sent to or stored on our servers. We do retrieve publicly shared spotter positions (first name, last initial, and approximate location) from the Spotter Network to display on the map. This data is refreshed every two minutes and only includes recently active spotters.
  • Subscription Data: Managed entirely by Apple via StoreKit. We do not have access to your payment information.

2. How We Use This Information

  • Improve app features and performance
  • Diagnose crashes and bugs
  • Understand which features are most useful

3. Your Rights

  • Disable analytics anytime in the app's Settings screen
  • Revoke location permission in your device settings

4. Third-Party Services

  • Apple StoreKit: In-app purchases and subscription management
  • Spotter Network: Spotter position sharing and retrieval of publicly shared spotter positions (opt-in only)

5. Data Retention

Anonymous analytics data is retained only as long as needed to improve the app and is periodically purged.

6. Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app collects only anonymous, non-identifying data, it is safe for users of all ages.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted in-app and on our website with an updated date.
