Radar Glance Privacy Policy
Radar Glance is designed for quick radar viewing. The developer does not collect, sell, rent, or track personal data.
Data Collection
Radar Glance does not require an account and does not send personal data to a developer server. The developer does not collect analytics, advertising identifiers, saved map positions, saved locations, search history, contact information, or diagnostics from the app.
Location
If you grant location permission, Radar Glance uses your location to center the radar map. The app requests city-level accuracy for this purpose. Your location is not stored by the developer and is not sent to a developer server.
Saved Locations
If you save a place using the bookmark feature, the name and coordinates of that place are stored locally on your device using UserDefaults. This data is not sent to the developer or any server.
Share Feature
The share button captures a snapshot of the current radar screen on your device and presents the iOS share sheet. No image or data is automatically uploaded or sent anywhere. You choose where to send the snapshot.
Distance Rings
The distance ring overlay is drawn entirely on-device using your current map view. No location or distance data is sent to any server. The ring unit preference (miles or kilometres) is derived from your device locale and is not transmitted.
Precipitation Intensity Guide
The precipitation guide is fully bundled with the app. No network call is made to display it. The data is sourced from NOAA/NWS NEXRAD documentation and the Wikipedia dBZ article, and is embedded in the app at compile time.
Map and Radar Services
Radar Glance displays Apple Maps and RainViewer radar and satellite imagery. To show the map and data layers, the app requests map and radar tiles for the visible area. Those requests are handled by Apple and RainViewer and may include technical information needed to return the requested tiles, such as IP address and map region.
Local Preferences
Display settings, radar palette choices, animation settings, layer mode, distance ring preferences, saved locations, and the last visible map camera are stored locally on your device.
Tracking and Advertising
Radar Glance does not include third-party advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or cross-app tracking.
Weather Notice
Radar Glance is for general weather awareness and is not a substitute for official watches, warnings, emergency alerts, or guidance from local authorities.
Children
Radar Glance is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page.
