RainSG is a weather app for Singapore. We keep data collection to a minimum. There are no accounts, and we don’t sell data.
If you choose “Here”, the app asks for your location while it is open (“when in use”) and uses it to pick the right rain and forecast. Your location is used on your device: the app downloads Singapore-wide weather data and works out the nearest area itself. We don’t track you in the background and we don’t store your location on a server. The last location is kept on your device only so the app can open faster. You can turn location off at any time in your device settings and search a postal code instead.
When you search a postal code, street or building, the text you type is sent to our server, which asks the Singapore Land Authority’s OneMap service for matching addresses. We don’t link searches to you.
Your saved places and settings stay on your device (local storage). Deleting the app removes them.
The share image is created on your device. It is only sent where you choose to share it.
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes standard request logs (such as IP address and time) to deliver and protect the service. We don’t use them to identify individuals.
The app currently shows no ads. If ads are added, we will update this policy first and ask for any consent your device or region requires.
RainSG is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Weather data comes from the National Environment Agency via data.gov.sg (Singapore Open Data Licence). Maps and address search come from OneMap © Singapore Land Authority.
