Privacy Policy

Effective April 22, 2026

RadarCast is built by RadarCast LLC (Charleston, South Carolina, USA). This policy explains what the RadarCast iOS app and radarcast.app website collect, use, and share.

No accounts, no tracking

RadarCast does not require an account. We do not collect names, email addresses, contacts, advertising identifiers, or behavioral analytics. We do not sell data to anyone, ever.

Location

If you grant the app location permission, your device's GPS coordinates are used locally on your phone to center the radar map on your location and to detect alerts relevant to your area. Your coordinates are not transmitted to RadarCast servers or any third party.

Weather data requests

The app fetches weather data (radar, lightning, forecasts, alerts, satellite imagery) from public government sources — NOAA, NWS, SPC, WPC — via RadarCast infrastructure hosted on Cloudflare and AWS. These requests carry no user identifier. We do not log request contents or associate requests with individuals.

Map rendering (Mapbox)

Map tiles are provided by Mapbox, Inc. Mapbox may process your device's IP address to serve tiles, subject to their privacy policy. RadarCast does not share additional information with Mapbox.

Crash and diagnostic reports

If you opt in to share anonymous diagnostics with Apple, Apple may share crash logs with us via App Store Connect. These reports contain no personal information and are used only to fix bugs.

Children

RadarCast is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be noted with a new effective date. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
