Privacy Policy for Pixel Weather

Last updated: October 2026 · Applies to Pixel Weather: Retro Sky on iPhone and iPad

Pixel Weather is a weather app that paints the forecast as pixel art. This policy explains exactly what the app does with your data, because the honest answer is: very little.

ΑʹWhat the app collects

Location (approximate only). If you tap "Use My Location," the app asks iOS for your approximate location and sends only the latitude and longitude to Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com), a free weather data provider, to fetch the forecast for that spot. Your name, device identifier, or any other information is never attached to that request. You can skip this entirely and pick a city manually instead.

City search. If you search for a city by name, that search text is sent to Open-Meteo's geocoding service to find matching places. Nothing else is sent with it.

Your settings. Your chosen art styles, theme, animation speed, and location are stored on your device, and, if you turn on iCloud sync in the app, in your own private iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. This data is private to you: the developer cannot see it, does not have a server that stores it, and cannot access your iCloud account.

ΒʹWhat the app does not do

No account or sign-up of any kind.
No analytics, crash reporting, or third-party SDKs.
No advertising or ad networks.
No tracking of you across other apps or websites.
No data is sold or shared with anyone, for any purpose.

ΓʹThird parties

The only external service this app talks to is Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), a free, open-data weather provider. It receives only the coordinates or search text described above. Review their own privacy practices at open-meteo.com if you'd like details on their end.

If you enable iCloud sync, your settings are stored by Apple in your own private CloudKit database, governed by Apple's own privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).

ΔʹChildren's privacy

Pixel Weather does not knowingly collect any information from children, and the data it does handle (approximate location, used only to fetch a forecast) is not linked to any identity in the first place.

ΕʹChanges to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too. Significant changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
