Privacy Policy

Snow Day Estimator is a general-audience weather tool for students, parents and teachers. We collect as little as we can.

ZIP codes and towns you enter

The ZIP code or town you type is looked up in your browser against a static file. It is not sent to us. Your browser may remember your last place on your device (local storage) so the calculator opens to it next time; you can clear it in your browser settings.

Closure reports

When you tap Closed, Delayed, Open or E-learning, we store the town, the school date and your answer. We do not ask for or store your name, email address or any account. To count each report once, we keep a one-way salted hash of your IP address and the date for 48 hours, use it only to prevent duplicate reports, and then delete it. Reports are only ever shown as totals for an area, never individually.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are used. It is configured with Google signals and ad personalization turned off. Google Analytics uses cookies; you can block them with your browser or Google's opt-out add-on.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver pages and protect the site, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. Report taps are processed by a Cloudflare Worker and stored in a Cloudflare D1 database.

Advertising

The site does not currently show ads. If we add them, we will update this policy first and describe the ad partner and any cookies it uses.

Children

Snow Day Estimator is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The report button collects no personal information.
