Vane: Weather & Radar Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

Vane: Weather & Radar ("the app") is a weather app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, published by Jaye Mondale. This policy explains what the app does with your information.

Information we collect

We do not collect any information. The developer has no servers, no user accounts, no analytics and no advertising, and cannot see which places you look up.

Information the app stores on your device

• Your selected place and your unit preference, so the app opens where you left it, and whether you were using My Location.
• Your saved cities, the ones you've starred.
• The places you've looked up (up to 50), so a widget can be set to any of them.
• The latest forecast for each place a widget shows, so the widget still has something to display if a refresh fails.

This information stays on your device, shared only between the app and its widgets. It is not sent to the developer, and deleting the app deletes it.

Location

The app uses your device's location only if you tap My Location and allow it. It asks for approximate, city-level accuracy, finds the city you're in, and shows that city's weather. Your location is used at that moment and isn't stored, apart from remembering that you chose My Location, so the app can show it again next time. You can turn location access off at any time in your device's Settings; searching for cities works without it.

Third-party services

To work, the app requests data from the services below. Like any internet request, these requests reveal your IP address to the service.

• Apple Maps search receives the text you type into the search field, to suggest matching cities, and, if you use My Location, your location, to find the city you're in.
• Apple Weather (WeatherKit) receives the coordinates of the place you select, to return its forecast.
• Apple Maps provides the map under the radar.
• Environment and Climate Change Canada (MSC GeoMet) receives requests for radar images covering the area shown on the radar map. The requests identify the app as Vane, but not you.

Apple handles its data under Apple's Privacy Policy, and Environment and Climate Change Canada under the Government of Canada's privacy notice. The developer does not receive any of this data.

Sharing

We do not sell or share your information with anyone.

Children

The app does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
