Effective Date: February 25, 2026
ForecastPing (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the ForecastPing mobile application (“the App”) handles information.
1. Overview
ForecastPing is designed to be privacy-friendly.
Most data remains stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
We do not require user accounts.
We do not collect personal information through our own backend servers.

The following information is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to us:
- Temperature unit preference (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
- Notification settings (enabled/disabled, time of day)
- Reminder rules and custom reminder items
- Manually saved location (if applicable)
- Location mode preference (automatic or manual)
This information is used solely to operate the App’s features.

Important:
- Your coordinates are sent directly from your device to Open-Meteo’s weather API.
- Location data is not sent to or stored on our servers.
- We do not retain or log your location history.
You may disable location access at any time in your device settings.
