Last updated: December 2025

Overview

Do I Need A Brolly ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website at doineedabrolly.co.uk.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our service.

Automatically collected information

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This is a privacy-focused analytics service that:

Does not use cookies
Does not track individual users
Does not collect personal information
Anonymizes all data

We can see aggregate statistics such as page views, referring websites, and general browser/device types, but we cannot identify individual visitors.

Location data

When you search for a location, we use the location name to fetch weather data. We do not store your search history.

How we use your information

We use collected information to:

Provide weather forecasts for requested locations
Improve our website and service
Analyse usage patterns
Ensure security and prevent abuse

Cookies

This website does not use cookies. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies. Our analytics provider (Cloudflare Web Analytics) is cookieless by design.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services:

WeatherAPI.com - Weather data provider. When you view a weather forecast, we request data from WeatherAPI.com using the location's coordinates (not your personal location).
Cloudflare - Website hosting, security, and privacy-focused web analytics. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or track individual users.

Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

Data retention

We retain server logs for up to 30 days. Weather data is cached temporarily (up to 15 minutes) to improve performance.

Your rights

Because we use privacy-focused, cookieless analytics and do not collect personal information, we do not hold any data that identifies you as an individual.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page.
