Privacy Policy — WhatToWear?

Last updated: October 8, 2026

This policy describes how the WhatToWear? iOS app (“the App”) handles information. WhatToWear? suggests clothing layers based on weather and your preferences. The App is designed to keep your data on your device; it does not require you to create an account.

Developer: Owl Studios (bundle identifier com.owlstudios.whattowear).

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at support@owlsoftware.studio.


Summary


Information the App Uses

1. Location

You can change or revoke location access anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.

2. Weather providers (network)

To get a forecast, the App contacts these providers in this order, moving to the next one only if the previous one fails or doesn’t respond:

  1. Apple WeatherKit (Apple Weather) — governed by the Apple Privacy Policy. Data sources are listed on Apple’s Weather legal attribution page.
  2. MET Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute, api.met.no) — terms of service.
  3. Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) — terms and privacy.

In addition, for locations in or near the United States, the App asks the U.S. National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) for active severe-weather alerts, using the same rounded coordinates.

Each request contains only the rounded coordinates and standard technical data described above. The App does not use these services to build a profile of you.

3. Information stored on your device

Stored locally (and, where noted, in the App Group shared with the App’s widget):

SwiftData, UserDefaults (including the App Group), and the App’s Caches folder are used for this storage. Deleting the App removes this data (except what iOS keeps in your own device backups).

4. Notifications

If you turn on smart notifications, the App schedules local notifications on your device when conditions change in a meaningful way. They are not sent from any Owl Studios server.

5. Siri, Shortcuts, and the widget

6. In-app purchase (“Buy me a coffee”)

7. What we do not collect

If this changes in a future version, we will update this policy and the App’s App Store privacy disclosures.


Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on:


Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data, or to object to certain processing. WhatToWear?’s data lives only on your device. You can delete it by deleting the App or clearing items inside the App. For privacy questions, contact support@owlsoftware.studio. For app help, see Support.

California (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or share personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising.


Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will help remove it where feasible.


International users

Weather requests may be processed on servers run by the providers listed above (including Apple, MET Norway in Norway, Open-Meteo in the EU, and U.S. government infrastructure for NWS alerts). Only rounded (~1 km) coordinates are sent.


Security

Your data stays in Apple’s app sandbox and App Group on your device. Network requests to weather providers use HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.


Changes

We may update this policy when the App changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change, and for material changes we will take reasonable steps to notify you (e.g. in-app notice or App Store description). Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
