Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

The Snow Day Calculator is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal information necessary to provide accurate snow day predictions:

• Location data: When you search for a location, we temporarily use this information to retrieve relevant weather data for that area.
• Weather preferences: Your input parameters for predictions (temperature, snowfall amounts, etc.) are processed to generate accurate results.

All calculations are performed in your browser whenever possible, minimizing data sent to our servers.

• Location data is used solely to provide weather predictions for your area
• We may use anonymized, aggregated data to improve our prediction algorithms
• We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties
