Veer Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026
Veer is a weather app published by Clearpoint Studios. It is free, has no accounts, no ads and no analytics. This policy lists what leaves your phone so Veer can show the weather, and what stays on it.

The short version
To fetch a forecast, Veer sends the coordinates of the place you are looking at, rounded to about 1 km. Place search sends the name you typed. Both go through a small relay we run on Cloudflare to the free weather service Open-Meteo. No account, name, device identifier or advertising identifier goes with them. Everything else stays on your phone.
What stays on your device
- Your saved places and their order
- Your settings: units, time format, language, which place opens first
- The last forecast and air quality reading for each place, with the time it was fetched
Uninstalling Veer or clearing its data removes all of it. Removing a place in the app removes its stored forecast too.
Location
Veer asks for approximate location only, and only while the app is open. It never reads your position in the background. If you deny the permission, you can search for cities instead and the app works the same way. Your position is used to pick the place to show and to fetch its weather. It is rounded to about 1 km before it leaves the phone.
Weather and place search
Forecasts, air quality and place search go to veer-weather, a relay Clearpoint Studios runs on Cloudflare Workers, which forwards them to Open-Meteo. The relay only passes on the fields a forecast needs, rounds coordinates to two decimal places, and keeps recent answers in Cloudflare's edge cache so the same 1 km cell is not fetched twice within a few minutes. Request logging is switched off on the relay. Open-Meteo receives the rounded coordinates or the search text from the relay, never your IP address. Its policy: open-meteo.com/en/terms.
Radar and maps
The radar tab loads radar images from RainViewer and map tiles from Esri. Like any map, these servers see your IP address and which map tiles your phone asks for, which reveals the area you are looking at. Nothing else is sent to them. The requests stop when you leave the radar tab.
Other apps from the studio
The More tab lists other Clearpoint Studios apps. To show which of them are already on Google Play, Veer checks their store pages with a plain request to play.google.com that carries no data about you.
Feedback
Send feedback opens your own email app with a message addressed to us. Nothing is sent until you send that email yourself, and we only receive what you write plus the app version in the subject.
Permissions
- Approximate location: showing the weather where you are, only while the app is open.
- Internet: forecasts, air quality, place search, radar and maps.
Data retention
- Saved places, settings and cached forecasts on your phone: kept until you remove them in the app, clear the app's data or uninstall Veer.
- Rounded coordinates in the relay's edge cache: a cached forecast or air quality answer for a 1 km cell is kept for at most 6 hours, then discarded. It holds no identifier and cannot be linked to a person.
- Search text in the relay's edge cache: a cached search answer is kept for at most 7 days, then discarded. It holds no identifier.
- Server logs: the relay keeps none.
- Emails you send us: kept while the conversation is open and deleted no later than 12 months after the last message, or earlier on request.
- Backups: there are none, nothing about you is stored on a server.
Because Veer has no accounts and stores nothing about you on a server, there is nothing to request for deletion beyond your own emails. Uninstalling the app deletes everything it kept.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us for access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability, and you can object to processing. Write to clearpointstudios@proton.me. You can complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Veer is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
