Thank you for using our Services. This Privacy Policy is effective as of April 30, 2026.

In an effort to help all our users understand our approach to privacy, we have translated our Privacy Policy (located here in US English) into many languages. Please refer to the US English Privacy Policy if any translation conflict exists.
To learn more about your data rights, see section “ Data Rights.”
For further disclosures to users in South Korea, see section “ Additional Disclosures for Korea.”

Welcome
The Weather Company ® is here to help you plan each day, from knowing when to toss a sweater in your bag to when your plane might experience turbulence en route. We know that your Personal Data (defined in section “ Personal Data”) is important to you. It’s important to us too! We believe in ethical and transparent use of Personal Data.
We have designed this Privacy Policy focused on how you interact with our Services (defined in section “ We Are The Weather Company”) and common questions you may have. Our Privacy Policy applies differently depending on how you use our Services and where you’re located. Check section “ Global Disclosures” for region-specific information (for example, California, European Union/European Economic Area/United Kingdom, and South Korea), and if you're here for business rather than our consumer weather products, head to section “ Data Collection Outside Our Consumer Weather Products.”
Our goal is to be clear and transparent. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please ask us (see section “ Support & Feedback (How to Contact Us)”).
