Snow Day Predictor: Odds: Privacy Policy

Last updated November 2026

Snow Day Predictor turns a free weather forecast into snow day odds. It has no account and no server of its own: your places and settings stay on your phone, and only a ZIP/postal code, town name or rounded coordinates are sent to the weather and postal-code services to get the forecast.

No account, no server

The app has no sign-in and we run no server for it. We do not sell your data.

Stored on your device

• Saved places (town name, state or province, ZIP or postal code, coordinates rounded to about 1 km)
• Settings (district tough/soft setting, evening alert on/off and threshold)
• The last downloaded forecast for each saved place, so odds show offline
• The date the hour-by-hour view was unlocked
• Scheduled local evening alert notifications

This stays on your iPhone and is deleted when you delete the app.
