• Location data (optional): If you choose “Use my location”, your browser may provide approximate coordinates. These coordinates are used to fetch local weather.
• Search queries (optional): If you type a place name, that query is sent to a geocoding provider to resolve coordinates.
• Functional storage (optional): If enabled, WearCast stores your preferences and last-used location in your browser storage.
• Usage analytics (always on): WearCast uses GoatCounter to count page views and basic usage metrics. GoatCounter is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or localStorage for tracking page views.

• Provide the service (weather lookup, recommendations): Art. 6(1)(b) (performance of a contract / providing a requested service) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in operating the website).
• Device location (only if you choose it): Art. 6(1)(a) (consent). You can withdraw by disabling location permission in your browser/OS settings.
• Functional storage (preferences/last location): Art. 6(1)(a) (consent). You can withdraw by disabling “Functional storage” in the Privacy choices dialog and clearing site data.
• Analytics (GoatCounter, always on): we rely on Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest) to understand general usage and improve the site. GoatCounter is used as privacy-friendly analytics (no advertising, no cross-site tracking, no cookies used for pageview tracking). See GoatCounter’s GDPR notes: goatcounter.com/help/gdpr.
