Snow Day Calculator does not require an account and does not operate its own database of location searches. Some information is still processed by hosting, forecast and optional advertising services.
Location searches and forecasts
When you enter a city or postal code, your browser sends the search to Open-Meteo's geocoding service. After a match is selected, coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo's forecast API. For a U.S. match, the same coordinates are also sent to the National Weather Service API to check active winter alerts. These requests are necessary to provide the result and are governed by each provider's policies.
Device geolocation
“Use my current location” asks the browser for permission. If granted, approximate coordinates are sent directly to the forecast provider and, when the location is supported in the United States, the National Weather Service alert service. The website does not save them in its own account system. You can deny or revoke browser permission and enter a place name instead.
Hosting logs
The hosting provider may record technical logs such as IP address, requested URL, timestamp, browser information and error details for security, reliability and abuse prevention.
Advertising
Advertising code runs only when an advertising account and placement IDs are configured. Google AdSense or another provider may use cookies or similar technologies subject to its own policies and consent requirements. If ads are enabled, consent controls should be configured for the regions where they are required.
If you email support@snowdaycalculator.live, the message, email address and information you include are processed to respond and maintain the service. Do not send sensitive student information.
Your choices
You can use a typed location instead of geolocation, block optional advertising or storage through browser controls, and contact us about a privacy concern. Browser blocking may affect third-party services.
Children
The calculator is general-audience planning content and is not designed to collect personal information from children. It does not ask for a student name, school account or profile.
Changes
This policy may be updated when the site's providers or features change. The revision date above will be updated. For product limits, also read the accuracy statement.
