Inside the app

Friendly at a glance. Useful when you look closer.

WeatherBoard was designed to feel calm, readable and human, even when the conditions are doing their level best to be none of those things.

Your forecast is personal. Your data stays that way.

WeatherBoard has no ads, no advertising identifiers and no developer-operated account system. Saved places and app preferences stay on your device by default.

Location access is optional. You can deny it and search for any place manually.

Questions, answered

Before you check the weather.

Does WeatherBoard work outside Canada?

Yes. Weather forecasts and place search are designed to work worldwide. Wildfire, alert and air-quality coverage depends on the data available for each location.

Where does the wildfire information come from?

Canadian wildfire information uses reported data from Natural Resources Canada, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, Environment and Climate Change Canada and participating provincial agencies, including BC Wildfire Service for British Columbia locations.

Does WeatherBoard collect my data?

WeatherBoard does not run an advertising, tracking or user-profile database. Location and place queries may be sent to weather, map or wildfire providers to return the information you request. Those providers may process technical request data under their own privacy policies. The full details appear below.

Do I have to share my location?

No. Current Location is optional. You can search for and save places manually if you prefer.

Is WeatherBoard free?

WeatherBoard is free to download and includes a useful core forecast experience. Optional WeatherBoard Pro features are available through the App Store, with the current local price shown before purchase.

Can I use WeatherBoard for emergency decisions?

WeatherBoard provides general informational data. Forecasts, alerts, wildfire reports and air-quality readings can change or be delayed. Follow local authorities and emergency services whenever health or safety may be at risk.

Check before you go.

Clear forecasts, wildfire awareness, air-quality information and the details you need, all in one private, Canadian-made iPhone app.

WeatherBoard Privacy Policy

WeatherBoard is designed to provide useful weather, wildfire and air-quality information while collecting as little personal information as possible. This policy explains what the app processes, what stays on your device and when outside data providers may receive a request.

Plain-English summary: WeatherBoard contains no ads, does not track you across apps or websites, does not sell personal information and does not operate a database of user accounts, saved places or location history.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the WeatherBoard iPhone app and the WeatherBoard sections of this website. The app is provided by YOUR_LEGAL_NAME, referred to here as “WeatherBoard,” “we,” “us” or “our.”

2. Information WeatherBoard processes

WeatherBoard does not require an account. The app does not include advertising SDKs, third-party marketing trackers or a developer-operated analytics service.

If you choose Current Location, Apple’s location services provide the app with the location accuracy you permit. WeatherBoard uses that location to request nearby forecasts, alerts, wildfire information and air-quality data. You can refuse location access and search for a place manually.

A selected location or place query may be transmitted to an outside weather, mapping, air-quality or wildfire service so it can return the requested information. WeatherBoard does not store a server-side copy of your location history. Outside providers may receive technical request information, such as an IP address, according to their own policies.

3. Information stored on your device

Saved places, display preferences, notification choices, cached forecast information and similar settings are stored locally on your device. If the app allows you to enter an optional provider API key, that key is stored on your device and sent only to that provider when requesting the feature you enabled. WeatherBoard does not use the key for any unrelated purpose.

iOS controls location permission, notification permission and device backups. You can change those settings in the iPhone Settings app.

4. Outside services and data sources

WeatherBoard relies on outside services to deliver public environmental information. Which services are contacted can depend on the feature and location you choose.

Service or source Purpose Privacy information
Apple Core Location, MapKit and StoreKit Optional device location, maps and App Store purchases. Apple Privacy Policy
Open-Meteo Forecast, geocoding or air-quality information when enabled in the app. Open-Meteo Terms and Privacy. Open-Meteo states that API logs may contain IP addresses and geographical coordinates and that individual logs are deleted after 90 days.
OpenWeather Optional map layers when enabled, including features that may use a user-supplied API key. OpenWeather Privacy Policy
Natural Resources Canada and the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System Reported fires, hotspots, perimeters and fire-danger information for Canada. CWFIS
Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre Canadian fire summaries, status information and national situation data. CIFFC
Environment and Climate Change Canada Official Canadian alerts, Air Quality Health Index information and environmental data where available. Air Quality Health Index
BC Wildfire Service and other participating agencies Regional wildfire information where available. BC Wildfire Service

WeatherBoard does not control these outside services. Their availability, data handling and privacy practices are governed by their own policies. If the production app uses an additional provider, this policy will be updated to identify it.

5. App Store purchases

Optional WeatherBoard Pro purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. WeatherBoard does not receive or store your payment-card number. Apple may provide transaction status, entitlement information and aggregated sales or diagnostic information under Apple’s policies and your device settings.

6. Retention, access and deletion

WeatherBoard does not retain an off-device user profile or location-history database. Locally stored preferences and saved places remain on the device until you remove them, reset the app or uninstall it. Information processed by outside services is subject to each provider’s retention practices.

Because WeatherBoard does not maintain a user account database, we generally have no personal account record to access, export or delete. Privacy questions can be sent to YOUR_SUPPORT_EMAIL.

7. Children’s privacy

WeatherBoard is a general-audience weather app and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app does not offer public profiles, social posting or user-to-user communication.

8. Weather, wildfire and air-quality information

Forecasts, alerts, wildfire reports, map markers, fire-danger values and air-quality readings are informational and may be incomplete, delayed or inaccurate. Conditions can change quickly. WeatherBoard does not replace local authorities, emergency services, evacuation notices or professional health and safety advice.

When health, travel or personal safety may be affected, verify conditions with the responsible local agency and follow all official instructions.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when WeatherBoard’s features, providers or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will be communicated in the app or through the App Store listing when appropriate.

10. Contact

Privacy, support and accessibility questions can be sent to YOUR_SUPPORT_EMAIL.
