QuietSkies Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 August 2026

QuietSkies is made by Apaisant. This policy explains, in plain terms, what the app does and does not do with your information. The short version: QuietSkies keeps your information on your device, has no accounts, shows no ads, and runs no analytics or trackers. The one exception is your location, which is sent to a third-party weather service, Open-Meteo, to fetch your forecast. We do not store it and it never reaches us.

Who we are

• Publisher: Apaisant
• Website: https://apaisant.org
• Contact: apaisant.github.precise709@passmail.com

The short version

• We do not run a server of our own, and we store nothing about you. Nothing you do in the app is kept by us.
• We do not require an account, an email, or a sign-in.
• We show no advertising and use no analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
• Your settings, your sensitivity and trigger choices, your daily feedback, and your cached forecast stay on your device.
• The one time information leaves your device is to fetch the weather: your location is sent to Open-Meteo, a third-party weather service, so it can return the forecast for where you are.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored only on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else:

• Your comfort profile: which conditions overwhelm you, your sensitivity level, and appearance settings.
• Your daily "How was today?" feedback and the calibration history built from it.
• The most recent forecast, cached for about three hours so the app works quickly and offline.
• The small data file that powers the home-screen widget.

Uninstalling QuietSkies deletes all of this. There is nothing held on a server for us to keep or delete, because there is no server.

What leaves your device, and why

To show you the weather, QuietSkies contacts Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), an independent weather-data service:

• Your location. Either the coordinates from your device's GPS, or the coordinates of a place you type into the manual search. These are sent to Open-Meteo so it can return the forecast and, for the manual search, match the place name you typed.
• Your device's IP address. As with any request over the internet, the network request to Open-Meteo carries your device's IP address. How Open-Meteo handles that request is governed by its own privacy terms, which we do not control. See https://open-meteo.com.

QuietSkies sends no name, email, device identifier, or account with these requests, because it holds none. Open-Meteo is the only external service the app ever contacts.

Permissions we ask for

• Location: to work out the weather where you are. You can decline it and type a location manually instead.
• Notifications: so the app can show a gentle morning briefing and hazard heads-ups. Optional; the app works without them.
• Ignore battery optimisation: an optional prompt that helps scheduled alerts arrive on time on phones that aggressively sleep apps. You can decline it.

You can change or withdraw any of these in your device settings at any time.

Analytics, advertising, and tracking

None. QuietSkies contains no analytics, no advertising, no marketing SDKs, and no third-party trackers. We do not sell your information, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not profile you. The only external transfer of any kind is sending your location to Open-Meteo to fetch the forecast, described above.

Children

QuietSkies is a general-audience wellbeing tool and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information and creates no account, so it does not knowingly gather information from anyone, including children.

Where QuietSkies is offered

QuietSkies is made in Australia for an Australian audience. It is offered in English and is not targeted at, marketed to, or localised for users in the European Union or the United Kingdom, and we do not assume the EU GDPR or UK GDPR apply to it. If you use QuietSkies from outside Australia and have a question about your data, you are welcome to contact us at the address above.

Your rights

Because your information stays on your device and we hold nothing about you, there is no account to access, export, or erase on our side. To remove everything QuietSkies stores, uninstall the app. Wherever you are, if you have a question about this policy or your privacy, contact us at the address above.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
