Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 7, 2026
1. What This Site Collects Directly
David Schlotthauer Weather ("we," "us," "the Site") does not currently operate user accounts, comment systems, or mailing list sign-ups. As of this writing, the Site does not directly collect personal information from visitors through forms. If that changes — for example, if we add a newsletter sign-up — this policy will be updated to describe exactly what is collected and why.
2. Store Purchases (Creator Spring)
Merchandise purchases are completed entirely on our print-on-demand partner's platform (Creator Spring), not on this Site. When you buy a product, any personal and payment information you provide — name, shipping address, email, payment details — is collected and processed directly by that platform under its own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your payment information.
3. Donations (Stripe / PayPal)
Donations are processed by Stripe and/or PayPal through their own hosted payment pages. We do not collect or store your card number, bank details, or other payment credentials — that information is handled entirely by Stripe and PayPal under their respective privacy policies:
Depending on the payment method, we may receive limited transaction metadata (such as donation amount and date) from these processors, but not full payment card details.
4. Cookies & Analytics
This Site uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect or store any personal data or cross-site identifiers. Plausible reports aggregated, anonymous statistics (such as page views and referring sites) and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. SeePlausible's data policyfor details. Standard hosting-provider server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and requested page, retained briefly for security and performance purposes) may also be collected by our hosting infrastructure.
5. Embedded YouTube Content
Video content on this Site is embedded from YouTube. Interacting with an embedded video may allow Google (YouTube's parent company) to set cookies or collect data according toGoogle's Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Links
This Site links to external sites — including weather.gov, noaa.gov, our merchandise store, and payment processors. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
7. Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
