Fat Tail does not collect, store, or share any personal data. We have no servers, no accounts, and no analytics.
Location: With your permission, your device’s location is used solely to find nearby weather stations. Coordinates are sent directly from your device to public government weather services (NOAA/NWS) and a ZIP lookup service to retrieve weather data, and are never stored by us or linked to you.
Saved locations: ZIP codes you save are stored only on your device.
Third-party data sources: Weather data is provided by NOAA/NWS (weather.gov, aviationweather.gov), radar imagery by Iowa State Mesonet and RainViewer, and ZIP geocoding by zippopotam.us. These requests include only the technical information necessary to return data (such as coordinates), subject to those services’ own policies.
