Privacy

The short version: Weathervane has no accounts and no ads. Your save file never leaves your browser. The only thing of yours that reaches us is feedback you choose to send, and it carries no name, no email address and no IP address.

What stays in your browser

When you load a save, Weathervane reads it in your browser. It keeps what it needs from it (your farm's name, your and your co-op partners' names, gold, items and progress), plus anything you tick or type, in this browser's own storage. None of it is sent to us. Another browser or device doesn't see it unless you move it there yourself with Back up & move, on the Load a save page.

To remove it, delete your farms on the Load a save page, or clear this site's data in your browser's settings.

What reaches this site

• Feedback you send. What you wrote, its kind (a bug, an idea, wrong data), the page you were on, the game day if a farm is loaded, the version of Weathervane, your screen (phone or computer, its width, light or dark), the page's language and when it arrived. The form shows all of it before you press Send. We read it to fix things and keep it until it's been dealt with. Write to us to have a note removed.
• Error reports. If the page breaks, it sends a short report: the error message, which page, the version and the browser's name (for example "Chrome on a phone"). Nothing about you or your farm, and at most three per visit.
• A daily limit on feedback. To stop floods, the site counts notes per connection per day, using a scrambled code made from the connection's address and a secret that changes every day. The address itself is never stored, and the counts are thrown away the next day.

Other services the page uses

• Cloudflare hosts the site. Like every web host, it sees the address a request comes from so that it can answer it. Its privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits and pages. It uses no cookies and doesn't identify you.
• Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a browser isn't a spam robot. It loads only when you open the feedback form.
• cdnjs.cloudflare.com supplies a small tool that opens .zip saves. It is fetched only if you open a .zip.

Share links

A progress link carries only what you tick, with no names unless you switch them on. The progress sits after the # in the link, so it never reaches our server. Anyone you send it to can open it, and a link that's been sent can't be taken back.

What we don't do

No accounts, no ads, no tracking cookies, and no selling or sharing of anything. If ads ever come, this page will say so first, with the choices they bring.
