A little clarity

Privacy policy

Last updated

Weather needs a place. It doesn’t need an advertising profile.

This policy explains how Morrow (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in the Morrow weather app, including beta builds, and at hellomorrow.app. Morrow is the name we use to provide these services. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@hellomorrow.app. Features vary by platform and release; optional features described here apply when they are available and you enable them.

We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. The app and website do not include advertising trackers or analytics SDKs. Weather providers, hosting services, and Apple’s beta tools still process information as described below.

1. The website

Website previews use sample forecasts to illustrate the app. The website does not ask for your location or connect to the app’s weather or notification services. Your browser may cache the files needed to display the site.

Cloudflare hosts and delivers the website. When you visit, it processes technical information such as your IP address, requested pages, and request and device details to deliver content, maintain reliability, and protect the service. The landing page does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Infrastructure providers may process security and operational data under their own policies.

Website waitlist signups are not open, and the disabled email form does not collect or save your email address. Before enabling a waitlist, we will update this policy to identify the email service, explain retention, and describe how to unsubscribe or request deletion.

2. Location and weather

You can search for a place without granting device location access. Search text is sent to Open-Meteo’s place-search service, which uses GeoNames data. The coordinates of the place you view are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve weather, air quality, and UV information.

If you choose current-location weather and grant permission, Morrow reads your device’s location. These coordinates may be precise, depending on your device and permission settings. They are sent to Open-Meteo for the forecast and to your device’s place-name service to identify the locality. Morrow does not continuously track your movements or build a travel history.

For supported U.S. locations, the app sends the displayed place’s coordinates to the National Weather Service to retrieve local alert areas and active alerts while the app is in use. These weather requests go directly from your device to the providers, which also receive ordinary connection information such as your IP address.

3. Information on your device

Morrow stores saved places, their coordinates, display preferences, and recent forecasts on your device so they remain available between visits and when you are offline. This is not a Morrow cloud-synced profile. Your operating system’s backup and restore settings may include app data in device backups.

Where supported, widgets receive a local copy of the place label and forecast values, without coordinates. Background forecast refresh uses coordinates already saved on the device to request updated weather; it does not read a new device location in the background. Your operating system controls when background work runs.

4. Optional push alerts

In iPhone builds that support push alerts, enabling them creates a random installation identifier through Supabase. The alert service stores that identifier, an Apple push-notification delivery token, the National Weather Service zone codes for your alerts, and technical subscription details such as platform, delivery environment, status, and timestamps. It does not require your name or email address.

The notification subscription contains alert-area codes, which identify geographic areas, rather than precise coordinates, place names, saved forecasts, or a location history. Supabase stores the subscription and delivery records; Apple delivers the notifications. Delivery records include the alert identifier, delivery status, and timestamps so the service can avoid duplicate alerts and investigate failures.

Turning alerts off inside Morrow requests deletion of the subscription and its associated delivery records. A connection is needed to complete this request; check that the app confirms the change. The separate installation identity is not automatically deleted when alerts are disabled. Email us for help with deletion of information held by the alert service.

5. TestFlight and contacting us

If you join an iPhone beta through TestFlight, Apple automatically collects crash logs and usage information and shares them with us. Apple also shares feedback you submit. Depending on how you join and what you send, this information may include your name, email address, device details, and screenshots. We use beta information to investigate problems and improve Morrow. See Apple’s TestFlight privacy notice for the information Apple collects and the choices it provides.

If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include in the message. We use this information to respond, provide support, and handle your request. Please only send the information needed for us to help.

6. Service providers and sharing

We use the providers described in this policy to deliver the website, forecasts, and optional beta and notification services. They may process connection information and operational or security logs in addition to the feature-specific information described above. Their own notices explain their practices:

  • Cloudflare — website delivery and security.
  • Open-Meteo — place searches, weather, and air quality.
  • National Weather Service — U.S. alert areas and weather alerts.
  • Supabase — optional alert identities, subscriptions, and delivery records.
  • Apple — iPhone platform services, push delivery, and TestFlight. Other device providers’ policies apply to their location and backup services.

Providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect the security and rights of our users and service. We use HTTPS for network requests, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure.

7. How long information stays

  • On your device. Preferences and saved places remain until you change them or remove app data. Recent forecasts are replaced as new ones arrive. Removing a place removes it from the saved list and active forecast cache; some background or widget data may remain until replaced or app data is removed. Device backups have their own retention settings.
  • Push alerts. Subscriptions remain until removed through the app or service. Delivery history is scheduled for cleanup after 30 days. Disabling alerts removes the subscription and related delivery records once the request succeeds, but the installation identity remains until separately deleted. Disabling notifications in iOS or uninstalling the app does not itself send a subscription-deletion request.
  • Support and beta feedback. We keep information needed to resolve your request, investigate issues, and maintain necessary records. You can ask us to delete it. Information held by Apple and other providers is also subject to their retention policies.
  • Operational records. Hosting, weather, and alert providers retain technical logs according to their service settings and policies. Deleting app data does not delete those providers’ logs. Some information may need to be retained to meet legal obligations or resolve security issues.

8. Your choices and rights

You can revoke location permission in your device settings and continue using place search. You can remove saved places in Morrow, manage background refresh and notifications in your device settings, and remove local app data through your operating system. To remove an alert subscription, turn alerts off inside Morrow while connected before uninstalling. Manage backups separately with your device or backup provider.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, or to withdraw consent. Email privacy@hellomorrow.app to make a request. We may need limited information to verify that a request relates to you. Because an alert identity is not linked to your email address, we may need your help locating its record. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Morrow is a general-audience weather service. If you believe a child has provided personal information that we should remove, please contact us.

9. Changes and contact

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. Where required, we will provide additional notice or ask for consent before making a material change.
