Fresh Air Privacy Policy

Last updated July 23, 2026

Information Fresh Air needs

Fresh Air only handles information needed to provide weather, alerts, purchases, support, and limited product analytics:

• Location: When you request weather, Fresh Air uses the coordinates for your current or selected location to retrieve the forecast. We do not attach those coordinates to your name, email address, advertising identifier, purchase information, or a user profile.
• Weather alerts: If you enable rain or snow alerts, we retain the minimum information needed to deliver them: an Apple Push Notification service token, alert location, language, selected weather provider, and scheduling state.
• Purchases: We use an installation identifier and Apple transaction identifiers to verify paid features, restore access, prevent duplicate processing, and address purchase-support requests.
• Support: If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to include in your message.
• Product and service analytics: Fresh Air sends PostHog the names of app screens viewed and selected feature interactions, together with a randomly generated installation identifier and basic technical details. Our server records service counts such as weather requests, provider calls, cache outcomes, requested city, entitlement tier, and alert outcomes using a one-way hash of that identifier. These analytics are pseudonymous: they are not attached to your name, email address, or an advertising identifier.

Information Fresh Air does not collect

Fresh Air does not collect IDFA, any other advertising identifier, advertising data, or a history of the other apps and websites you use. We do not track you across apps or websites. PostHog analytics do not include location data, saved cities, weather searches, names, email addresses, purchase information, push tokens, notification content, or information you enter in the app. Fresh Air does not include GPS coordinates or saved locations in analytics events. Server-side service analytics include only a coarse canonical city when needed for aggregate reporting; they do not retain precise GPS coordinates, raw installation identifiers, device tokens, signed transactions, names, or email addresses. We do not use session replay or automatic interaction recording.

How we use information

We use the limited information above only to:

• Return weather for the location you requested;
• Deliver rain or snow alerts you enabled;
• Verify and restore purchases;
• Respond to support requests; and
• Understand which screens and features are used so we can maintain and improve Fresh Air; and
• Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.

We do not combine product analytics with location data, purchase information, or information that directly identifies you. We do not use analytics for advertising or marketing.

Service providers and sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We do not share personal information, location data, purchase information, or notification information for advertising or marketing. We do not provide data to advertisers because Fresh Air does not use advertising.

PostHog processes the limited product analytics described above on our behalf. PostHog is our analytics service provider, not an advertising partner. Like any service receiving an internet request, PostHog may process the request’s IP address to receive and secure the connection; Fresh Air does not include GPS coordinates or saved locations in PostHog analytics events. Our server-side analytics run in our Cloudflare account and use a server-only hash salt; we do not authorize either analytics service to use Fresh Air analytics for advertising, cross-app tracking, or its own marketing.

A weather forecast requires a location. To return the forecast, Fresh Air sends the requested coordinates to the weather provider selected in the app. The request does not include your name, email address, installation identifier, purchase information, or other user-identifying information. The coordinates are used only to return weather for that request.

Apple processes the limited information required to handle App Store purchases and deliver push notifications. Our hosting infrastructure processes requests only as needed to operate and secure Fresh Air. We do not authorize these services to use Fresh Air data for advertising, marketing, or user profiling.

We do not voluntarily disclose personal information. We would disclose information only if legally required to do so.

Storage and retention

Forecast responses may be cached briefly to make the service faster and more reliable. Alert registrations remain only while alerts are enabled or until the registration expires. Purchase records are retained only as needed to verify access, restore purchases, prevent duplicate processing, and meet legal obligations.

PostHog events are associated only with the randomly generated installation identifier, not with a named user profile. Raw server-side events are retained for up to 90 days; aggregate service reports and per-installation daily usage summaries are retained for operational trend analysis for up to 12 months. Operational logs are minimized. We do not intentionally place location coordinates, push tokens, or complete signed Apple transactions in logs.

Your choices

You control location access and notifications in iOS Settings. You can disable alerts in Fresh Air or in iOS Settings at any time. You may also request deletion of server-held installation and alert data by contacting us.
