Weather data: MET Norway Weather API (CC BY 4.0 ), via HELPERG; units converted and conditions mapped.
How this works
Cash Workspace can show the current weather from HELPERG's weather service. It is not linked to your account: weather requests carry no sign-in session or cookies.
Which place: a city you pick, a city named in a link you open, the city you picked before on this device, or a suggestion from your device's time zone. The time zone itself is not sent; only the suggested city is. Your position is read only when you tap “Use my location” and allow it; the app asks for approximate location only. The position is rounded to about 1 km (two decimal places), sent for that request and not saved by our code. What is sent: the city or the rounded position goes to Cash Workspace's server. Our server sends only coordinates — the city's or your rounded position — to HELPERG's weather service (helperg.com, operated by HELPERG LLC), which passes them to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) to get the forecast. Our server does not pass on your IP address; HELPERG and MET Norway see our server's address. To stop one client from using up the weather service, our server counts requests per client using the IP address of the request. The address is turned into a keyed hash straight away and kept only in that server's memory, not in our database or logs; the key changes whenever the server restarts. Our server keeps a weather reading for each rounded place in memory for 10 minutes and, if the weather service is unavailable, may show it for up to 3 hours, marked as last updated. HELPERG's service keeps its own temporary copy, for minutes, or for some hours while MET Norway is unavailable. These caches are kept per place, not per person. Our code logs only that a weather request failed and the kind of failure — not the place, coordinates or IP address. Our hosting provider and the infrastructure of HELPERG and MET Norway may record request data such as IP addresses and times in their own logs, which we do not control. A city you pick is saved on your device (browser storage, or the app's secure storage) so it is shown next time; “Forget this city” removes it. Time-zone suggestions and positions are not saved by our code. Our code does not send weather data to analytics. If you accepted analytics, a city named in a page address is removed from what is sent.
