Privacy policy.
Peeky is a weather app built by an indie developer who finds tracking analytics gross. This page explains what data the app needs to do its job, what happens to that data, and — just as importantly — everything we don't do.
The short version
- We ask for your location only when the app is open, only to fetch a weather forecast for that location.
- Your coordinates are not stored on any Peeky server. There is no Peeky server.
- Your coordinates are sent to weather providers (Apple, Open-Meteo, Google) so they can return a forecast for your location.
- We don't run analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioural profiling. There is no third-party SDK reading your usage.
- Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.
- Peeky is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Data we collect
Location
When you allow location access, Peeky reads your current GPS coordinates while the app is open and uses them to fetch a forecast for that spot. Coordinates are sent to the weather providers listed below; they're not stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere else by us. You can deny location access — Peeky will then only show the cities you've added manually.
Cities you save
Cities you add are stored on your device. They're never sent to a Peeky server (again — we don't run one). If you uninstall Peeky, this list is gone.
Subscription status
When you subscribe to Premium, Apple's StoreKit returns an entitlement to the app. We read it to unlock Premium features. We don't see your name, email, billing address, or card. Apple does — refer to Apple's privacy policy for how Apple handles that.
What we do not collect
No analytics. No crash reporters. No advertising IDs. No device fingerprinting. No contacts, photos, calendar, microphone, camera, health data, or motion data. No email harvesting from forms — except the contact form on this website, which sends an email and is not stored anywhere else.
Third-party weather providers
To return a forecast, Peeky calls these providers. Each one receives the coordinates of the location you're checking, nothing more.
- Apple WeatherKit — temperature, conditions, wind, UV, moon phase, sunrise / sunset, alerts. Apple's WeatherKit privacy.
- Open-Meteo Marine & Forecast — swell, tides, water temperature, ocean currents, snow depth, sunshine duration. Open-Meteo does not require an API key and does not log requests by user. Open-Meteo terms.
- Google Pollen API — AQI, PM10, PM2.5, NO₂, ozone, pollen. Google Maps Platform privacy.
Children
Peeky is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us at the email below and we'll remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/EEA/UK), CCPA (California) or similar. Because Peeky doesn't store personal data on a server, the most meaningful rights — access, deletion, portability — apply to data already on your device:
- Access / portability: everything is on your phone — nothing more to access.
- Deletion: uninstall the app, or revoke location access in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
- Subscription data: managed by Apple. Cancel or request your data via Apple ID Settings > Subscriptions.
- Contact: any other privacy question, email us.
International transfers
The weather providers above operate internationally and may process your coordinates in jurisdictions outside the EU/EEA (notably the US). They are responsible for their own compliance — see the privacy links above.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes (a new provider, a new feature that touches new data) we'll update this page and bump the date at the top. Substantial changes will also be flagged inside the app on next launch.
