I’d like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better.

OpenWeatherMap seems promising, but their site uses Google analytics, have a lengthy privacy policy I’m not reading all of, and they have a bunch of paid subscription plans, so I’m rather pessimistic.
Having Google analytics means it’s the same as a Google owned website. You shouldn’t recommend such services for privacy.
What part of “I’m rather pessimistic” and complaining about their privacy policy sounds like a recommendation. It was more intended as a warning.
Hmm, the app on google play store says it collects no information and shares no information with third parties. I’m hopeful about this one.
—actually, looks like a nice general weather app, but doesn’t have hurricane tracking features
I don’t understand this obsession with only taking advantage of free labor and giving nothing back. Seems anti-thetical to the entire FOSS movement.
Ah yes when I think of the FOSS movement I think of greedy corporations that only care about how much money they get out of their contributor’s labor. FOSS has proven the exact opposite if anything: that economics are built on lies, and that people can and will produce useful projects without any economic gain.
