Privacy Policy — Skylit
Summary
Skylit does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information about you. The app has no account system, no analytics SDK, no advertising network, and no server of its own. Your data stays on your device.
Information we do NOT collect
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other identifying information.
- We do not create or maintain a user account.
- We do not use any advertising or analytics SDK.
- We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your information with any third party for marketing purposes.
- We do not use the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA) or any cross-app tracking mechanism.
Location
Skylit may request your device location (When In Use) to show weather for your current city.
- Location access is optional. You may decline and add cities manually by name.
- Your coordinates are processed on-device by CoreLocation.
- Your exact coordinates are sent directly from your device to Open-Meteo weather APIs (see Third-Party Services below) solely to retrieve weather data. No identifier, account ID, or device ID accompanies those requests.
- Skylit does not store your location on any server. Skylit does not record a history of your locations.
- You may revoke location permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Skylit.
Data stored on your device
The app stores the following information locally on your device only:
- Settings — your preferences (temperature unit, wind speed unit, pressure unit, time format, color theme) stored in UserDefaults.
- City list — names and coordinates of cities you have added, stored in SwiftData on-device.
- Weather cache — weather forecast data for your cities, stored as JSON files in the app's Caches folder. This data is cached for up to 30 minutes to reduce network requests and support offline use.
- Widget data — a subset of the weather cache written to the app's App Group container so that home screen and lock screen widgets can display current conditions without launching the app.
None of this data leaves your device except as described under Third-Party Services.
You can delete all locally stored data at any time by deleting the app from your device.
Third-Party Services
Skylit uses the Open-Meteo API to retrieve weather forecast, geocoding, and air quality data.
| Service | Purpose | Data sent | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|

Open-Meteo is an open-source project. Requests to Open-Meteo do not include any user identifier, device identifier, or account information. Open-Meteo's privacy practices are governed by their own Privacy Policy linked above.
Skylit has no other third-party SDKs, analytics providers, crash reporting services, or advertising networks integrated in the binary.
Attribution
Weather data is provided by Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com), an open-source weather API. Skylit uses Open-Meteo under its non-commercial usage terms. Attribution is displayed in the app under Settings → About → Weather Data.
Children (COPPA)
Skylit is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. The app's age rating is 4+ because it contains no objectionable content; however, it is a general-audience utility app. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through this app, please contact us using the address below and we will take steps to address the situation.
Your Rights
Because Skylit stores no personal data on any server, there is no personal data held by the operator to access, correct, export, or delete on request. All data the app creates lives on your device under your control.
To delete all app data: delete Skylit from your device. All locally stored data — settings, city list, cached weather — is permanently removed when you delete the app.
GDPR (European Economic Area users)
If you are located in the EEA, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Because we do not process personal data on our servers, most of these rights are exercised directly on your device by deleting the app. For any remaining questions contact us at the address below.
CCPA (California residents)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have rights regarding their personal information. Skylit does not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we do not collect personal information on our servers, there is no data to access, delete, or opt out of sharing beyond deleting the app.
Encryption and Security
All network requests made by Skylit use HTTPS (TLS). No unencrypted connections are used. The app does not implement custom encryption beyond the standard iOS system transport security (App Transport Security is enabled by default).
For export compliance purposes: Skylit uses only standard HTTPS provided by the iOS operating system. It does not implement any encryption algorithms independently and qualifies for the encryption exemption (Category 5 Part 2 Note 4).
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
