SolrisePrivacy Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
Solrise Weather ("Solrise", "we") is a weather app for iPhone made by CUAD Ventures LLC. This policy explains, in plain language, what data the app uses and why. The short version: we use your location only to show you weather, it stays on your iPhone, and we never sell it. There are no ads, no tracking, and no analytics in the app. This website (solriseweather.app) uses Google Analytics only if you allow it; see This website below.
What we collect
Location. With your permission, Solrise reads your current location to show weather where you are. You can also add cities by searching instead of sharing your location. Your saved cities, including their coordinates, are stored only on your iPhone.
Preferences. Settings like units, card order, and which advice lens you prefer are stored only on your iPhone.
Purchases. Subscriptions and one-time purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. The app only checks with Apple whether your purchase is active.
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, or any account information. The app has no sign-in.
Who the app talks to
To get weather for a place, Solrise sends that place's coordinates (not your name or any identifier) to the weather services below. Like any website or server, these services may briefly log technical request information such as your IP address.
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple WeatherKit | Coordinates | Forecast, current conditions, alerts |
| Solrise backend (hosted on Vercel), which relays to Foreca | Coordinates, map tile position | Radar, air quality, thunder chance, snow depth, sunshine |
| National Weather Service (NOAA) | Coordinates (US places) | Alert details, snow level |
| NOAA Aviation Weather Center | An area around the place | Nearest airport reports (METAR, TAF) |
| NOAA Tides & Currents | The nearest station ID | Tides and coastal conditions |
| NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center and Storm Prediction Center | Nothing about you (public data feeds) | Aurora, solar activity, storm outlooks |
| Apple Maps | The map area you view | Map display and city search |
What we don't do
- We don't sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
- We don't show ads.
- We don't use analytics or tracking tools, and we don't track you across other apps or websites.
- We don't build a profile of you.
Your choices
You can turn location access off any time in iPhone Settings, then Solrise, then Location, and add cities by search instead. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your iPhone.
This website
This policy's app sections cover the Solrise iPhone app. The website at solriseweather.app is separate and works like this:
- Google Analytics, only with your permission. We use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful. Its cookies are only set if you tap Accept on the cookie notice. If you decline, or haven't chosen yet, Google Analytics runs in a cookieless mode that sends basic, anonymous signals (such as a page view) without identifying you.
- What Google receives: pages viewed, approximate location (country or city level, from your IP address), device and browser type, and how you arrived (for example a search or a link). Google processes this under its own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
- No ads. We don't use advertising cookies or advertising features, and we don't sell website data.
- Change your mind any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Your choice is saved only in your browser.
- Hosting: the site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log basic request information like IP addresses for security.
Children
Solrise is a general-audience weather app and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
