Hotter Than is a weather comparison tool. We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data. This policy explains what information is used when you visit this site and how it is handled.
When you visit the site, your browser will ask for permission to access your location. This is required for the site to work — we use it to fetch the weather for your area.
Your coordinates are used in real time to make a weather API request. They are never stored, logged, or shared by us.
If you decline location access, the site will not function. You can revoke location permission at any time through your browser settings.
Weather data is provided by Open-Meteo, an open-source weather API. When the site loads, your browser makes requests directly to Open-Meteo's servers — including sending your coordinates and the coordinates of comparison cities.
Open-Meteo may log IP addresses for technical purposes such as server maintenance and abuse prevention. These logs are deleted after 90 days. Open-Meteo does not share this data with third parties. You can read their full privacy policy at open-meteo.com/en/terms.
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
For more information on how Google collects and uses data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
This site itself does not set any cookies. The only cookies present on this site are those set by Google AdSense for advertising purposes, as described above.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have rights under GDPR including the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data held about you. As we do not collect or store personal data ourselves, any such requests relating to advertising data should be directed to Google.
You can manage your ad personalisation preferences at any time via Google Ads Settings or through the Your Online Choices tool.
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page will reflect when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
