Station Privacy and PII Concerns

@meteo.thenioux The ‘Share Publicly’ toggle allows each user to decide if they wish to share their data or not. You seem to be the only user thus far to have an issue with this function. To help SOLVE this immediately, we have set your toggle to not share in our database – your weather data will no longer be available in any API. As example: https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/share/2117 (As noted before, the settings on your account were previously set to ‘Share Publicly’ = on/yes.)

We’re obliged to help understand the root cause as to why your ‘Share Publicly’ toggle in the app does not seem to be working for you. In order to do so, we would need a full and objective understanding of your user experience. Which app version are you using? Exactly what steps are you taking? Did you hit the SAVE button after setting the Share Publicly toggle on the Station settings screen? Can you provide screenshots of the steps? Are there any atypical settings in your home network we should be aware of? Happy to help SOLVE, but need more details to understand your unique situation.

We also understand and appreciate your concern for geographical data. To that end, we have a plan to implement a way to obfuscate geo-location while at the same time enable location-specific forecasting and AI/machine learning calibration and QC techniques. Until we release the enhancements, any user can simply choose to locate your station anywhere: App > Settings > Stations > Location. (Note: the WU forecast is directly related to user-defined location.)

Thanks for voicing your constructive feedback.
