Privacy Policy
Applies to meteosheep.app and the Android app com.interarnet.meteosheep.
Operator: INTER ARNET, registered in Ireland · Contact: contact@interarnet.com
Effective date: 13 November 2026
In short: no accounts, no ads, no cookies, no third-party analytics or tracking, and we never sell data. Most of your data stays on your device.
1. Data we process and why
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Location (optional) | To show weather where you are. Read only while the app is open, never in the background. | Rounded to about 2 km on your device and sent through our own services to Open-Meteo, so it never sees your IP address. The town name is looked up on your device. |
| Approximate location (~2 km) and a push subscription (optional) | Rain and pressure alerts, if you allow notifications. | Our alert service. |
| Places you view or search for | Forecasts and place search. | Open-Meteo (search text), our relay. |
| Route start and end points (optional) | Driving routes. | openrouteservice.org, through our route service. |
If you tap “Navigate”, the coordinates are passed to Google Maps, which applies Google's own privacy policy.
2. Data stored only on your device
Saved and recent places, settings, parking spots (and any photo you attach), your last position (rounded to about 2 km), cached forecasts, a local error log and the home-screen widget's chosen place. All of this is deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall the app.
3. Third-party services
Open-Meteo, openrouteservice, OpenStreetMap/Protomaps, unpkg.com (map library), Google Fonts, Google Maps, Google/Apple push services, and Cloudflare, which hosts the website and our services. Cloudflare processes technical logs, including IP addresses, under its own retention policy. Services the app contacts directly may also log your IP address under their own policies. We do not share data for marketing.
4. Retention
- Push subscriptions: kept only while valid; deleted automatically when they expire or are withdrawn.
- All connections use HTTPS.
5. Your choices and rights
You can revoke location or notification permission in Android settings at any time; the app still works with manual town search. Under the GDPR you may request access to, or deletion of, your data. Because we hold no identifying data, the quickest way is to turn off alerts and clear the app's data; for anything else write to contact@interarnet.com. You may also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).
6. Children
MeteoSheep is a general-audience app and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.
7. Changes
Updates are published on this page with a new effective date.
