Privacy
GrayCloud is a weather app and website. The short version: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. We only use what we need to show you the weather, and we don't keep more of it than we have to.
What the apps do with your data
- Location. If you allow it, GrayCloud uses your device's location to fetch the forecast where you are. The coordinates are sent to our weather API, used to render the forecast, and not stored against your identity.
- Saved places. Names and coordinates of places you save live on your device. If iCloud is enabled, they sync to your other devices through Apple's iCloud Key-Value Store. We never see them.
- Live Activities & widgets. Lock Screen Live Activities and Home Screen widgets render entirely on your device.
What the website does with your data
- Search queries. When you type a place into the search box, the query is sent to our geocoding endpoint, which proxies the request to OpenStreetMap Nominatim. We log your IP address briefly to enforce a rate limit; we don't tie searches to a profile.
- Forecast requests. Coordinates and a request timestamp are sent to our weather API. They aren't tied to a name or account.
- Cookies and analytics. The site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, fingerprinting, or third-party trackers. Cloudflare, who hosts the site, keeps standard request logs for security and abuse prevention.
Data we don't collect
- No account, email, or password — the app and site work without one.
- No advertising identifiers.
- No third-party SDKs that profile you.
- No selling or sharing of your data with anyone, ever.
Children
GrayCloud is not directed to children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their information.
