FROSTGUARD PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated 15 October 2026
FrostGuard is made by Aidan Gibbons. This policy covers the FrostGuard apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android.
In short: FrostGuard has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. I don't run any servers for it, and I never receive your data.
What FrostGuard uses
Your location. FrostGuard uses your device's location to fetch the weather forecast for where you are. On Android it asks only for approximate location; on iPhone it uses your location to within about 100 metres. The coordinates are sent to OpenWeatherMap with each forecast request.
Your last location is saved on your device, so the widgets, the daily alert and the Apple Watch app can refresh the forecast. It isn't sent anywhere else.
Place name. To show the name of where you are, the app asks your phone's built-in place-name service, provided by Apple or Google, which receives the coordinates.
Your settings and fine-tune answers (your mode, alert time and feedback) stay on your device.
Notifications are created on your device. FrostGuard doesn't use a push server.
Update check. The iPhone app asks the App Store whether a newer version exists. This sends only the app's identifier.
Who else is involved
OpenWeatherMap (Openweather Ltd) receives the coordinates and returns the forecast. Its privacy policy explains how it handles them.
Apple or Google provide place names, and the App Store and Google Play handle downloads under their own policies.
FrostGuard doesn't sell your data or share it for advertising.
Keeping and deleting data
Everything FrostGuard stores stays on your device. Deleting the app deletes it. You can turn off location access at any time in your phone's settings; FrostGuard then can't fetch a forecast.
Children
FrostGuard isn't directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
