MonoWx is a free weather app that runs entirely in your browser. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and we do not run our own servers that store anything about you. This page explains what data the app touches and where it goes.
Your location
- Browser geolocation is used only if you grant permission when your browser asks (or when you press the locate button). Your coordinates are used to fetch the local forecast and are not stored.
- IP-based location: if precise geolocation is unavailable or declined, the app asks a free geolocation service (ipwho.is or ipapi.co) for your approximate city. Like any website you visit, those services see your IP address when the request is made.
Weather data
To show a forecast, the app sends the relevant coordinates or city name directly from your browser to third-party weather and geocoding services: The Weather Company (weather.com), Open-Meteo, and BigDataCloud (reverse geocoding). Only the location being looked up is sent — nothing that identifies you personally beyond the standard network request.
The weather.com requests use The Weather Company's own public embedded web key — the same key weather.com ships to every visitor's browser on its own site. It is public by design, not a leaked secret, and no key or credential of yours is ever involved.
Stored on your device
The app keeps a few conveniences in your browser's localStorage: your temperature-unit preference (°C/°F), your last loaded forecast and its location (so the app opens instantly and still works offline), and your three most recent city searches. None of it ever leaves your device, and clearing your browser data removes it all.
Analytics
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first, cookie-free analytics tool. It counts page views without cookies, without fingerprinting, and without tracking you across sites.
Cookies & advertising
MonoWx sets no cookies and currently shows no advertising. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first and any consent required by law will be requested.
