Privacy Policy

Effective date: 18 Aug 2026 · Last updated: 18 Aug 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MetarNow (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website (the “Service”). We have designed the Service to be privacy-friendly: we do not require accounts and we do not ask you for personal information.

We do not generate weather data.

MetarNow is an informational dashboard that displays publicly available aviation weather observations (METAR) sourced from third parties, including the U.S. National Weather Service / NOAA (via aviationweather.gov and the NWS data servers). We do not create, measure, or originate any weather data ourselves. All readings are provided by these external sources “as is”.

1. Information We Collect

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, aggregate analytics, and advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

3. Advertising

We may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners, which may include Google AdSense, Ezoic, and their demand partners. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

For more information about how Google uses data, see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”.

4. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (for example, Cloudflare Web Analytics or a similar tool) to understand aggregate, non-identifying usage such as total visits and page views, so we can improve the Service.

5. Third-Party Links

The Service may link to third-party websites (such as data sources or advertisers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Service. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Because we do not collect personal information directly, we hold little to no personal data about you. Where applicable, residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California may have rights regarding data processed by our third-party providers (such as advertising and analytics partners), including the right to opt out of personalized advertising as described in Section 3. Please also use the opt-out links above.

9. International Users

The Service may be accessed globally. By using it, you understand that information processed by our third-party providers may be handled in countries other than your own.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when posted on this page, and we will update the “Last updated” date above.

MetarNow is an independent, informational service and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the U.S. National Weather Service, NOAA, or any other data provider. Weather observations are public-domain data provided by those sources.
