Delete your data

Gradient Weather by Subtle Signals · Last updated: October 2026

Gradient Weather doesn't have accounts, and most of your data never leaves your phone. Here's how to delete it, and what we keep.

1. Data on your phone

Your settings, saved places, Family & Friends, frog cards, mini-game best scores and the anonymous ID used for emoji reports are stored only on your phone.

To delete them:

uninstall Gradient Weather, or
go to Settings › Apps › Gradient Weather › Storage & cache (on some phones just Storage) and tap Clear storage.

2. Alerts on our server

Two alerts need our server to watch the weather for you, so it keeps a registration for your phone while they're switched on:

Imminent Rain: your phone's push token, the coordinates you registered, their time zone and a one-way code made from your Premium purchase, so we can check it's active.
Weather warnings: your phone's push token and the countries of the places you get warnings for (in the US, their forecast zones). No coordinates or names.

To delete them, switch the alert off in the app. If the app can't reach our server at that moment, or you uninstall the app first, the registration is deleted automatically after 90 days.

3. Mini-game scores and nickname

If you play one of the hidden mini-games while online, our server keeps your best score and the nickname shown on the leaderboard, linked to a random ID your phone made up.

Why we need your nickname

Your nickname, like "Moonlit Raven", is made up automatically by our server from that random ID. It isn't linked to your name, email or Google account, so we don't know which nickname is yours. To find your scores, we need you to tell us.

To delete your scores

Open the game and find your nickname under You on its leaderboard. Each game gives you its own nickname.
Email [email protected] with the game's name and your nickname.
We delete your scores, your nickname and any prize record linked to them within 30 days, and reply to confirm.

4. Assistants such as Gemini

We don't keep what you ask an assistant about the weather. The assistant keeps its own history. To delete it, use the assistant's settings (for Gemini, Gemini Apps Activity). To stop an assistant using Gradient Weather, disconnect the app in the assistant's settings.

5. Deleted automatically
