Terms of Use

Hurricane: Storm Tracker for iPhone · Version 1 · Effective October 10, 2026 · Delightful Data Studio LLC

The short version. Hurricane: Storm Tracker shows tropical storm information published by the National Hurricane Center, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the National Weather Service and NOAA. It can be late, incomplete or wrong. It is information, not a warning service or a source of official instructions. Official warnings and instructions come from your national weather service and local emergency management office. Decisions about what to do are yours, or your organization's.

1. Who we are, and agreeing to these Terms

"We", "us" and "our" mean Delightful Data Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. These Terms cover the Hurricane: Storm Tracker app and its widgets (the "app") and the web pages it links to, such as shared storm pages. By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you. If you use the app for a team, league, school or other organization, you confirm you can accept these Terms for it.

2. What the app is, and isn't

The app displays tropical storm information from third-party sources: the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for the Atlantic, East Pacific and Central Pacific; the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) for other ocean basins; the National Weather Service (NWS) for watches, warnings and forecasts in the United States; NOAA for radar and tide gauge data; FEMA for flood zone boundaries; and OpenStreetMap Nominatim for place search on our web pages. We do not operate these networks. Advisories and warnings can be late, incomplete or missing. Forecasts, cones, arrival times and wind probabilities are published by these agencies and may change.

The app is not an official product of NOAA, NHC, NWS, the U.S. Navy or JTWC, and none of them endorse it. It is not an emergency warning service, not a substitute for official warnings from your national weather service or local authorities, and not a substitute for your own judgment or your organization's rules. Nothing in the app is a statement that conditions are safe.

3. Your license to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app, its design and its content (other than third-party data) belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, sell or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.

4. Acceptable use

Don't scrape, resell or redistribute the app's data, use automated tools against our servers, overload them, try to access data that isn't yours, remove data credits, or use the app to break the law.

5. Shared links

When you share a storm, an advisory or a place, anyone with the link can see what it shows. Share only what you're happy for others to see. Don't put anyone else's private information into anything you share.

6. Alerts and Live Activities

The app can send you alerts and Live Activities about tropical storms and related hazards. These can be late, missed or not delivered because of Apple Push Notification service, your phone's settings, network conditions or our systems. We send at most 6 alert notifications a day. Do not rely on alerts or Live Activities as your only source of warning information.

7. Assumption of risk

Tropical storms, hurricanes, flooding and storm surge are dangerous and unpredictable. You use the app, and make decisions for yourself and for anyone in your care, at your own risk.

8. No warranty

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, AVAILABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY STORM, ADVISORY OR WARNING WILL BE DETECTED, RECEIVED OR SHOWN.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DELIGHTFUL DATA STUDIO LLC, ITS MEMBERS AND ITS DATA PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON THE APP OR ITS DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR US$50. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD, OR TO ANY LIABILITY THAT THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT.

10. Your rights as a consumer

Some countries and states give consumers rights that a contract cannot remove. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights. If you live in the United Kingdom, the European Union or Australia, we do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else your local law does not allow us to exclude, and your local consumer law and courts remain available to you. In Australia, nothing in these Terms excludes any guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law.

11. Indemnity

If you use the app for an organization or for decisions about other people, you agree to defend and indemnify Delightful Data Studio LLC against third-party claims arising from that use, to the extent the law allows. This does not apply to you as a consumer where your local law does not allow it.

12. Third-party data and services

NOAA and National Weather Service data are public domain; NOAA does not endorse our apps. Storm data for some basins comes from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, a U.S. Navy activity; it does not endorse our apps. FEMA flood zone data is published by the U.S. government. Maps come from Apple Maps, under Apple's terms. Place search on our web pages uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim, © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Providers may change or stop their data at any time, and so may we.

13. Ideas and copyright

If you send us an idea or feedback, we may use it without owing you anything. If you believe something on our pages infringes your copyright, write to us with: the work, where it appears, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, and your signature.

14. Changes and ending

We may update these Terms. For a material change, we will say so in the app or on this page at least 14 days before it takes effect, unless the law requires a faster change. If you keep using the app after a change takes effect, the new Terms apply. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, or if we stop offering the app. You can stop using the app and delete your data at any time through the app's Safety & data settings. Sections 7 to 11, 13, 16 and 17 continue after these Terms end.

15. Apple

Your license to the app is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement; where it conflicts with these Terms, these Terms apply to the extent the law allows.

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. We, not Apple, are responsible for any product claims, including claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection claims and product liability claims, and for investigating, defending and settling any claim that the app infringes someone's intellectual property. If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your wireless data service agreement. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16. Disputes and governing law

If you have a problem, write to us first and give us 30 days to try to fix it. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either of us may instead bring a claim in small claims court where you live, if it qualifies. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, the European Union or another country whose law gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts or to rely on your local law, this section does not take that right away.

17. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the app. If a part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them to a company that takes over the app. Headings are for convenience only.
