Hiker’s Weather integrates Google Maps Platform services to provide location search, mapping, and autocomplete functionality. When you search for a trail, location data and search queries may be sent to Google. Google may collect and process certain data, including location information and search activity, as described in its own policies.

For more information, please review Google’s Privacy Policy. Hiker’s Weather also uses the Open-Meteo API to retrieve weather forecasts, including temperature, precipitation, wind, and other weather data. When you search for a location or request a forecast, your approximate location (or selected coordinates) is sent to Open-Meteo to provide accurate, elevation-aware weather forecasts. Open-Meteo does not use this information to identify you personally. For more information, review their Terms and Privacy Policy.
