Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
The short version: Pourcast uses your location only to fetch local weather. It never stores, shares, or sells personal data. Analytics are fully anonymous — no names, emails, or device identifiers ever leave your phone in a form that could identify you.
Who we are
Pourcast is an iPhone application operated independently and published on the Apple App Store. You can contact us at hello@pourcast.co.uk.
What data we use
Location
Pourcast requests your device location while you have the app open. Location is used solely to determine which weather forecast to display — it is sent directly from your device to the Open-Meteo weather API and is not stored, logged, or retained by Pourcast.
We never share location data with any third party other than the weather service required to make the app work.
Analytics
Pourcast uses TelemetryDeck to collect anonymous usage signals. TelemetryDeck is designed from the ground up so that no personally identifiable information is ever stored:
- All device identifiers are hashed before leaving your device — the original identifier is mathematically unrecoverable
- No names, emails, IP addresses, or advertising identifiers are collected
- Signals we send include: app opened, drink pack downloaded, drink pack activated
- TelemetryDeck is GDPR and UK GDPR compliant — no consent banner is required because no personal data is processed
You can read TelemetryDeck's own privacy policy at telemetrydeck.com/privacy.
Drink packs
When you download a drink pack from the in-app store, the pack file is fetched from our content delivery network (Amazon CloudFront). Standard CDN access logs may record your approximate geographic region and the files requested. These logs are used only for diagnosing technical issues and monitoring pack popularity in aggregate. No personal data is extracted from them.
What we do not collect
- No account or registration is required
- No name, email, or contact information
- No advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking
- No payment information
- No precise or historical location
Third-party services
Pourcast relies on the following third-party services to function:
- Open-Meteo — weather data (privacy policy). Free and open-source, no API key required.
- TelemetryDeck — anonymous analytics (privacy policy)
- Amazon CloudFront / AWS — content delivery for drink packs (privacy policy)
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Because we do not collect personal data, there is nothing to access or delete — but if you have any concern please contact us at hello@pourcast.co.uk and we will respond promptly.
Children
Pourcast is rated 17+ on the App Store due to alcohol-related content. It is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy we will update the date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
