Wallradar Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 11, 2026
Wallradar is provided by Canvas & Code. This Privacy Policy explains how Wallradar accesses, uses, stores, and shares information.
Information Wallradar Uses
Location information
With your permission, Wallradar accesses your device’s approximate or precise location to:
Center the radar and map on your area
Display local weather conditions
retrieve nearby severe-weather alerts
Provide location-based radar wallpaper updates
Your most recently selected location is stored locally on your device. Wallradar can still operate without location permission by using Minneapolis, Minnesota as its default location.
Wallradar sends location coordinates, map boundaries, or derived map-tile locations to external weather and mapping services as necessary to provide these features.
Locally stored information
Wallradar stores the following information on your device:
Your most recently selected location
Appearance, map, zoom, animation, and radar-resolution settings
Notification preferences
Recently downloaded map and radar imagery
The identifier of the most recently displayed weather alert
Wallradar does not provide user accounts and does not maintain a developer-operated database containing this information.
Depending on your Android backup settings, Android or Google may include app data in your device backup. Google handles that information according to the Google Privacy Policy.
Network information
When Wallradar requests weather information or map imagery, external providers may receive your internet address, requested location or map area, request time, and other standard network information. These providers may maintain server logs according to their own policies.
External Data Providers
Wallradar obtains information from:
NOAA and the National Weather Service for radar, forecasts, conditions, and severe-weather alerts
U.S. Geological Survey for topographic map imagery
OpenStreetMap for street-map imagery
Their privacy policies are available at:
National Weather Service: https://www.weather.gov/privacy
U.S. Geological Survey: https://www.usgs.gov/office-of-the-director/privacy-policies
OpenStreetMap Foundation: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
Wallradar is not affiliated with or endorsed by NOAA, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, OpenStreetMap, or Google.
Advertising and Analytics
Wallradar does not contain advertising or analytics services. It does not use advertising identifiers, sell personal information, or use location information for advertising.
Permissions
Wallradar may request:
Location permission to obtain local radar and weather information
Notification permission to display severe-weather alerts
Internet access to retrieve weather and map information
Permission to restart scheduled alert checks after the device restarts
You may deny or revoke location and notification permissions through Android settings.
Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored settings, coordinates, identifiers, and cached imagery remain on your device until they are replaced, removed by Android, cleared through the device’s application settings, or deleted when Wallradar is uninstalled.
Because Wallradar does not provide accounts or operate a user-information server, there is no separate online Wallradar account to delete. External providers may retain network logs according to their own privacy and retention policies.
Security
Wallradar uses encrypted HTTPS connections when retrieving weather and map information. Locally stored information is kept within the app’s private Android storage. However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children’s Privacy
Wallradar is not directed toward children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising or profiling.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if Wallradar’s features or data practices change. The effective date at the top of the policy will be updated when changes are made.
