🛡️ Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Here's how we handle your data responsibly.

🍴 What This Site Does

The Food Index uses your browser's location (with your permission) to determine the temperature in your area. This temperature is then converted into food equivalents based on calorie calculations - a fun way to visualize weather data through food!

If you deny location access, we estimate your location using your IP address. This estimation is used only to show you temperature-related data in real time.

🔗 Third-Party Services

To provide weather data, this site uses external APIs for weather information and location services. Your location coordinates are sent to these services to retrieve weather data. No personal information is transmitted.

Services used: Open-Meteo, OpenCage, IP-API
