Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 11, 2026
1. Overview and Core Privacy Commitment
At ldsmaps.org, privacy is fundamental to our software engineering. We believe that accessing weather information, radar maps, and severe weather warnings should never require sacrificing your personal digital privacy.
2. Geolocation Handling
When you click the "Locate Me" button on ldsmaps.org, your browser requests permission to access your device's GPS coordinates.
- Client-Side Only: Your latitude and longitude are processed entirely in your local browser window to retrieve local weather data.
- No Tracking: We do not log, associate, or store your geographical coordinates on any remote server database.
- Optional: Geolocation is strictly optional. You may search for any city manually without granting location permissions.
3. Local Storage Usage
ldsmaps.org utilizes your browser's native localStorage API solely to store:
- Your pinned favorite cities (e.g., London, Tokyo).
- Your temperature unit preference (°C vs. °F).
This data remains on your physical device and is never transmitted to external third-party advertisers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
4. Cookies & Third-Party Trackers
ldsmaps.org does not employ tracking cookies, advertising beacons, or behavioral monitoring pixels. We use standard, anonymous server logs strictly for DDoS mitigation and server health checks.
