iWind is a project that provides live wind and weather data. The content is provided for informational purposes (for example for wind sports and outdoor activities) and without warranty as to completeness, timeliness, accuracy, or continuous availability.

The displayed measurements and forecasts come from different sources. We have no influence on the technical quality, location, or correct installation of individual stations. As a result, values can be distorted in practice. Example: a station may be affected by shielding from buildings, trees, or terrain — for instance if it is mounted on a south-facing wall and therefore does not capture northerly wind reliably. With the large number of data points, a manual quality check of every station is not feasible.

Please use the information as additional guidance only. For safety-relevant decisions (for example on the water, in the mountains, or in thunderstorm/storm conditions), we recommend also checking official weather warnings and local advice.

For questions, feedback, or corrections, you can contact me at any time.

1) Location (browser / device)
If you enable location access in iWind, your browser or device may provide location data so iWind can show wind spots near you. We do not store a location history and we do not create a movement/profile of your location.

2) Location without access (IP geolocation)
If you do not allow location access, iWind may estimate an approximate position using your IP address (IP geolocation). This method is less accurate and often only at city/region level. We also do not store any location history in this case.

3) Local storage in your browser
To avoid having to set everything again on every visit, technical information such as your choices (for example “Use my location” or “Allow analytics”) or a last used approximate position may be stored locally in your browser (cookies / website data). You can delete this data at any time in your browser settings.

4) Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
If you allow analytics, Google Analytics may process usage data (for example page views, interactions, and technical information such as device/browser). This helps us understand how iWind is used and improve it.
