Privacy Policy

Feelcaster is a weather and health forecasting app built by Ankord Media (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app uses, where it goes, and the choices you have. The short version: your health information and your symptoms stay on your phone, the only thing we learn from your check-ins is how you felt next to the forecast (without your name or account, and you can turn it off), we never sell your information, and the app has no ads and no tracking.

What stays on your phone

Most of what you tell Feelcaster is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers:

• The conditions you watch for, how much each affects you, and the triggers you choose.
• Your symptom logs (symptoms, intensity notes and medication) and the patterns Feelcaster learns from them.
• The people you watch over: the name, relationship, conditions and city you enter for each.
• Your settings, such as units, language and notification choices.
• Health readings, described below.

Deleting the app, or using Delete account or Reset in the app, erases this information from the phone.

Health data

If you choose to connect Apple Health, Health Connect or Fitbit, Feelcaster reads only the types you approve, such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep and activity. These readings are processed on your phone to adjust your forecast. They are not uploaded to our servers, not shared with anyone, and never used for advertising or marketing. Feelcaster does not write anything to Apple Health. You can turn off access at any time in your phone’s Health or Fitbit settings.

Your account

When you create an account we store what you sign in with: your email address or phone number, or the identifier provided by Sign in with Apple or Google, and the first name you give us. Accounts are run on Supabase, our authentication provider. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email, we only receive Apple’s relay address.

Location

Feelcaster uses your location to forecast the weather, air quality and pollen where you are. With your permission the app reads your location on the phone and sends the coordinates, without your name or account, to the services that supply the forecast:

• Open-Meteo, for weather and air quality forecasts and for city search.
• The U.S. National Weather Service, for official weather alerts.
• BigDataCloud, to show the name of the place you are in.
• Our own server, which rounds your position to about 10 km before asking the U.S. EPA AirNow service for air quality and Google for pollen.

For people you watch over at another place, the same services receive that city’s coordinates. We do not keep a history of your locations.

Notifications

Feelcaster’s alerts are created on your phone from the forecast it already has. Each kind of alert can be turned off in Profile, or all of them in your phone’s settings.

Check-ins and forecast accuracy

To measure how well the Feelcast matches how people actually feel, and to improve it, each time you check in or log how you feel the app sends us: your answer (good, okay or not great, and an intensity if you give one), the time and whether it started earlier, any of these you tap under “Anything else going on?” (poor sleep, stress, alcohol, a skipped meal, a long screen day, travel or feeling sick), the Feelcast the app showed, the weather readings for the few hours before (such as pressure, temperature, humidity, air quality and pollen), the conditions you watch for and how sensitive you said you are, and your app version and phone type. It is labeled with a random number created by the app, not your name, email, phone number or account, and it does not include your location, symptoms, medication, notes, your period or any health readings.

We use this only to test and improve Feelcaster’s forecasts, never for advertising, and we do not sell or share it. You can turn it off at any time in Profile, then Help improve forecasts; your check-ins still work and stay on your phone.

Feedback and support messages

When you send feedback in the app or a message from our support page, we receive what you write, the email address you choose to include, and, from the app, your phone model, operating system and app version so we can fix problems. We use this only to answer you and improve Feelcaster.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are bought and managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google handles your payment; we never see your card details. We only learn whether your subscription is active.

What we don’t do

• We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.
• We do not show ads.
• We do not use analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

Service providers

We rely on a few providers to run Feelcaster: Supabase (accounts and support messages) and Vercel (our website and the server described above), plus the forecast services listed under Location. They process information only to provide their service to us.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep your account until you delete it. To delete your account, open Feelcaster and go to Profile, then Delete account. This permanently removes your account and erases your Feelcaster data from the phone. If you no longer have the app, send a deletion request from our support page using the email or phone number on the account, and we will delete it within 30 days. Support messages are kept for up to two years.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including California and the European Union, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it and to delete it. Most of your information is already on your phone and under your control. For anything we hold, contact us through the support page. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

Children

Feelcaster is meant for adults. Parents may add a child as someone they watch over; that information stays on the parent’s phone. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Information sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit, and access to our systems is limited to the people who run Feelcaster. No system is perfectly secure, so we keep as little of your information on our servers as we can.

Medical information

Feelcaster gives general wellness information. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and for significant changes we will tell you in the app before they take effect.
