Skyline privacy policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

I made Skyline because I wanted a weather app that's clear to read, with nothing to pay for and no ads. It collects nothing about you: it has no accounts, no analytics, and no server of its own.

What the app sends

To show the weather, your phone or watch asks these free services directly. Like any website, each one sees your IP address and what was asked:

• Open-Meteo: the coordinates of your places, for their forecasts and the rain map, and what you type when searching for a place.
• National weather services, for official warnings, such as MeteoAlarm in Europe or the US National Weather Service; some are asked with a place's coordinates.
• Map tiles: OpenFreeMap for the streets and SSEC RealEarth (University of Wisconsin–Madison) for the clouds.
• Your device's geocoder, usually Google's, to name a place on the map or where you are.

Nothing else is sent anywhere, and nothing is sold or shared.

Location

Your device's location is used only if you allow it, to show the weather where you are, and in the background only if you allow it all the time, for rain alerts and the weather notification. Your places and recent forecasts stay on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
