Privacy Policy
Last updated October 10, 2026
Wheely Weather is a weather app for cyclists. It has no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. This page explains what little data it handles and where it goes.
Location
If you allow it, the app uses your device's location to show the forecast where you are. You can instead search for a place, and the app works fully without location access.
Your coordinates are sent only to the weather and map services needed to answer that request:
- On iPhone: Apple Weather (WeatherKit) and Apple Maps for forecasts, alerts, place names and place search, and Open-Meteo for air quality and your home climate (recent weather where you set your home, used to tune the ride ratings).
- On the web: Apple Weather (WeatherKit) for forecasts and alerts, Open-Meteo for air quality, and OpenStreetMap Nominatim for place names and place search, all proxied through our own server, which rounds coordinates (to about 1 km for forecasts and 100 m for place names) and keeps only short-lived request logs for debugging (Cloudflare Workers Logs, deleted within days). Your browser asks Open-Meteo for your home climate directly. If our server can't be reached, it also asks Open-Meteo for the forecast and air quality and the US National Weather Service for alerts directly.
We do not keep a history of your locations or sell location data.
Data stored on your device
Your settings, saved places, last location and a cached forecast are stored only on your device (or in your browser). On iPhone, a summary of the forecast is shared with the Wheely Weather home screen widget through an app group on the same device. Deleting the app removes all of it.
Crash reports and diagnostics
The app sends crash reports and performance timings to Sentry so bugs can be fixed. These reports do not include your name, IP address or device identifiers, and coordinates are removed from them. They are not used for advertising or tracking.
Children
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
