RetroSky privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-10-20

RetroSky is made by CRTC LLC, doing business as Cooper River Trading Company ("we").

The short version

We receive nothing. RetroSky has no account, analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting services. We run no server for RetroSky, so we never receive your IP address, your places or anything else. We never sell data.

What leaves your phone

To show weather, RetroSky asks public weather services directly for the coordinates of the place you are viewing and, about every 15 minutes, each saved US place (to check official alerts). These services are NOAA and the National Weather Service, MET Norway, NOAA nowCOAST, NOAA CO-OPS and NOAA's Regional Climate Centers. Like any website, they receive your phone's IP address as part of the connection, and their own policies apply. Connections use HTTPS.

Location

If you allow it, RetroSky takes one approximate location fix (about 1 km) when you open it or tap "Use my location", rounds it, and uses it only to fetch your forecast. It is never precise, never taken in the background, and never sent to us. You can say no and type a ZIP code or town instead. ZIP codes are looked up by your phone's built-in address service (Android Geocoder).

Your weather station

If you add a Davis weather station, RetroSky reads it over your own local network only.

On your phone

Saved places, settings and forecasts stay on your phone, are excluded from cloud backup, and are deleted when you uninstall the app.

Notifications

Weather alerts are local notifications. The permission is optional.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Google Play. We receive no payment details.

Children

RetroSky isn't directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
