GoworthySafety, privacy & terms
Goworthy turns forecasts into a simple verdict, but a forecast is still a forecast. Please read the safety notice before you rely on it.
Terms of Use & Safety Notice ▶
⚠ Important safety notice
Goworthy's forecasts and Go / Caution / No-go verdicts are general information only. They are generated from third-party forecast models that can be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, and they are not a substitute for your own judgment, official maritime, mountain, avalanche, weather or aviation warnings, local knowledge, and proper training and equipment. Conditions outdoors can change quickly. You alone are responsible for deciding whether to go out, and for your safety and that of others. Goworthy is not a navigational, mountain, avalanche or safety-of-life service. Always check official sources before heading out on the water, into the mountains or the backcountry, or flying a drone.
Acceptance

Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Goworthy on your Apple devices for your own use.
Provided "as is"
Goworthy is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that forecasts or verdicts will be accurate, complete, timely or available.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss, injury, damage or cost arising from your use of Goworthy or your reliance on its forecasts or verdicts.
Weather data
Forecasts are provided by Open-Meteo and other model sources that we do not control and cannot guarantee. Weather data is licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Who we are
Goworthy ("we", "us") is an independent app operated by Pierre van Mever. Questions? [email protected].
No account, no tracking
Goworthy has no sign-up or user account. We don't run ads, analytics or third-party trackers, and we don't build a profile of you.
This website
This website (heygoworthy.com) sets no cookies and uses no advertising or third-party trackers. The fonts load from our own domain, so your browser makes no third-party font requests. If you pick a language, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage as a functional preference; it stays on your device and is never sent to us. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, produces aggregate, anonymous traffic statistics (such as page views, country and referring site) from standard server logs, without cookies and without identifying you. Because we set no cookies and use no cross-site tracking, no consent banner is needed.
Location and your spots
Goworthy uses your location, or a place you search, only to fetch the forecast for that spot. Your saved spots and settings are stored on your device only. Goworthy has no account and no cloud sync, so they stay on your device and we never receive a copy.
Forecast data
To show conditions, Goworthy requests forecast data from Open-Meteo, an independent weather service. That request includes the coordinates of the spot you are viewing and, as with any internet request, your device's IP address. We do not send Open-Meteo your name or identity. Their handling of requests is governed by their own terms.
Weather radar
The optional weather radar on the map loads animated precipitation tiles from RainViewer. Those tile requests include the map area you are viewing and, as with any internet request, your device's IP address. We do not send RainViewer your name or identity. Their handling of requests is governed by their own terms.
If you contact us
When you email us we receive your message and email address, used only to reply.
Your rights
Your information lives on your device, so you stay in control. Under the GDPR you also have rights of access, correction and erasure over any data we hold (in practice, emails you send us). Just contact us.
Children
Goworthy is not directed at children under 16.
Changes
We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above will change, and material changes will be noted here or in the app.
