Privacy policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
This policy explains how the Snow Day Prediction Calculator website handles information when you browse, use the calculator, optionally load forecast data, or send us a message. We aim to be transparent, practical, and easy to read.
Important safety & accuracy notice
Snow day predictions are estimates for planning and education. They are not official weather warnings, emergency alerts, or school announcements. Always verify conditions with your school district, employer, and trusted meteorological sources before travel or schedule changes.
Who we are
This informational winter planning tool is operated by Varyense. For privacy questions, please use the contact details listed at the end of this policy.
This website does not provide official weather warnings or emergency alerts. Snow day predictions are estimation-based informational tools only. Always verify winter conditions with local authorities, your school district, and official meteorological agencies before making travel or safety decisions.
Data collection
We design the service so routine browsing does not require an account. We may process limited technical information automatically (such as IP address, user agent, and request metadata) through standard web hosting and security systems to operate and protect the site.
No sensitive personal information is stored unless you voluntarily submit it—for example, when you email us or use a contact form with your name, email address, and message contents.
Cookies usage
Like many websites, we may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for core functionality (for example, security tokens for form submissions and session integrity where applicable). If we introduce optional cookies for analytics or preferences beyond what is essential, we will describe them here and, where required, provide appropriate controls.
Analytics tracking
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate usage (for example, which pages are visited and how performance varies by device). Where used, analytics should be configured to prioritize aggregated reporting rather than identifying individuals. If you block analytics scripts, core calculator features should still work in most browsers.
Third-party weather APIs and services
When you request forecast-driven inputs, your browser asks our server to retrieve weather information from a third-party provider (for example, OpenWeather or similar services configured by the deployment). That request may include a city query or coordinates you supply.
Third-party providers process data under their own policies. We recommend reviewing their documentation if you want details on retention, regions, and subprocessors. We do not sell your personal information to weather vendors.
Browser storage
Some convenience features store information locally in your browser (for example, recent prediction history, theme preference, or optional school-type preference). This data stays on your device unless you clear site storage. It is not a substitute for official school records.
Anonymous usage tracking
We may collect anonymous or aggregated signals—such as performance timings, error rates, and feature usage counts—to improve reliability during winter traffic spikes. These signals are intended to support engineering decisions rather than profiling individuals.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of this informational service. No online service can guarantee perfect security. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it responsibly through our contact page.
User rights and privacy protection
Depending on where you live, privacy laws may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain data, or to object to certain processing. If you contact us with a verifiable request, we will respond consistent with applicable law and our legitimate need to retain minimal records for security and legal compliance.
Contact information
For privacy-related requests, please visit our contact page and include enough detail for us to verify and respond.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, providing additional notice on the website.
