What this site does with your data
The snow check runs in your browser and asks our server for the forecast. When you search, the town or postcode you type is sent to our server to find the place, using postcodes.io, and the place’s map position is used to fetch the forecast from Open-Meteo and warnings from the Met Office. If you choose “Use my location”, your browser shares your position, which we round to about 100 metres and use once to find the nearest place; it isn’t stored. The place you pick is saved in your browser’s local storage so the answer is ready next time, and you can clear it at any time. Your IP address is used only to limit how often the service can be called and isn’t kept.
