ClimateIQ Privacy Policy

Effective July 18, 2026

ClimateIQ helps you compare local climate history across public weather sources and optional personal station data. This policy explains what information the app uses and why.

Information You Provide

You may enter ZIP codes, saved place names, NOAA Climate Data Online tokens, and Ambient Weather station credentials. Ambient credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. If you sign in, selected app settings may sync with your account so ClimateIQ can keep your web and iPhone setup aligned.

Location

ClimateIQ may ask for your approximate device location to find nearby weather stations. You can use ZIP code entry instead. Location is used for app functionality and is not used for advertising tracking.

Account Sync

Sign-in is optional. If you sign in with Google or Apple, ClimateIQ uses your account identifier and email address to sync ClimateIQ settings. You can also use the app locally without creating an account.

Weather Data Sources

ClimateIQ requests weather history from public and user-connected data sources such as Open-Meteo, NASA POWER, NOAA CDO, Meteostat, and Ambient Weather. Those services may process requests according to their own terms and policies.

Analytics And Logs

ClimateIQ may collect basic operational logs needed to run, secure, and improve the service. The native iOS app does not use advertising tracking.

Purchases And Payments

The ClimateIQ iPhone app is a one-time App Store purchase. The Android app is free to download and may offer an optional one-time in-app purchase through Google Play. The ClimateIQ website may offer the same optional one-time account unlock processed by Stripe. ClimateIQ receives only the purchase or account status needed to provide access; ClimateIQ does not receive or store your full payment card number.

Account Deletion

You can permanently delete your signed-in ClimateIQ account from the app's Settings screen. This removes your ClimateIQ profile, sign-in identity link, synced settings, saved places, alert registrations and preferences, and ClimateIQ access-entitlement record. Storefront and payment providers may retain their own transaction records under their policies. See ClimateIQ Support for step-by-step instructions and an email alternative.
