Privacy & disclosure
Last updated: 2026
The short version
PawForecastis designed to need as little of your data as possible. There are no accounts, and we don't sell data. Ever.
Location
When you type a city or zip code, it's sent to our server only to look up coordinates and fetch the local forecast. If you tap "Use my location," your browser shares your coordinates for that single lookup — they're used to fetch weather and are not stored or associated with you. Your breed preference is saved locally in your own browser.
Analytics
If analytics are enabled, we use a privacy-friendly, cookie-less analytics tool that records only aggregate page views — no personal profiles, no cross-site tracking.
Weather & location data
Forecasts come from Open-Meteo. City and postal-code coordinates come from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
Affiliate disclosure
Some links to hot-weather walking gear are affiliate links, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy through one of these links, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only link to products we believe are genuinely useful for keeping dogs safe in the heat; a purchase is never required to use anything on this site.
