Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

Clearcast Weather ("Clearcast", "we", "our") is a weather application for Apple TV. We designed it to be private by default. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with information.

The short version

  • No account or sign-in is required.
  • We do not track you, show ads, or use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
  • We do not sell or share your personal data. Ever.

Information the app uses

Locations you add

When you search for and add a city, the app stores that city's name and coordinates on your device (and, if iCloud is enabled, in your private iCloud key-value storage so your cities sync across your own devices). This information is used solely to show you the weather for those places.

Approximate device location (optional)

If you choose to use the "near me" convenience, the app may request your Apple TV's approximate, network-derived location through Apple's Location Services, with your permission. Apple TV has no GPS; this location is coarse and is used only to suggest a nearby city. You can decline, and you can always add cities manually instead. We do not store a location history.

How weather and radar are provided

To show forecasts, the app sends location coordinates to weather data providers:

  • Apple Weather (WeatherKit) provides current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, and severe-weather alerts. Apple's handling of this data is governed by Apple's privacy policy and the Apple Weather legal attribution.
  • RainViewer provides animated radar map tiles. Radar tiles are requested by approximate map area, not tied to your identity.

These requests contain only the coordinates needed to return weather for that area. They are not linked to an account or advertising identifier, because the app has neither.

Data we collect about you

None that identifies you. Clearcast has no user accounts, no advertising, and no third-party analytics or tracking frameworks. Diagnostic logs, if any, stay on your device.

Children

Clearcast does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the date above.
