Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Can You Wear Shorts respects your privacy. More importantly, we have very little interest in knowing anything about you beyond whether the weather where you are supports exposed knees.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Can You Wear Shorts may process when you use the website.

The short version

  • You do not need to create an account to use Can You Wear Shorts.
  • We do not currently ask you to provide your name, email address, or other personal information to use the site.
  • If you choose to use your current location, your location is used to determine the weather for your area. We do not intentionally store your precise location.
  • Like most websites, we may use third-party services in the future for things such as analytics, advertising, and site functionality. Those services may collect certain technical information or use cookies as described below.

Now for the slightly less short version.

Information you provide

Can You Wear Shorts does not currently require user accounts, registrations, or profiles.

You can search for cities and use the site's weather features without providing your name, email address, or other directly identifying information.

If you choose to contact us by email, we will receive the information you voluntarily include in that email, including your email address.

We use that information only as reasonably necessary to read and respond to your message or otherwise handle your request.

Location information

Can You Wear Shorts includes a Use My Current Location feature.

If you choose to use this feature, your browser or device will ask for permission to access your location.

Your location is used to identify your general location and retrieve relevant weather information.

Can You Wear Shorts does not intentionally store your precise location after it is used for this purpose.

You can use the website without sharing your current location by searching for a city manually.

Your browser and device settings control whether location access is permitted, and you can revoke that permission at any time through those settings.

Weather services

Can You Wear Shorts relies on third-party weather and location services to provide forecasts and related information.

Information necessary to retrieve weather conditions—such as a location or geographic coordinates—may be transmitted to these providers when necessary to provide the requested weather information.

These third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

Analytics

Can You Wear Shorts may use analytics services in the future to understand how people use the website—for example, which pages are visited, general traffic patterns, device or browser information, and how visitors interact with features.

If analytics services such as Google Analytics are introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate to identify the relevant services and explain their use.

Analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies and may process information such as IP addresses, device information, browser information, and usage data.

Cookies and similar technologies

Can You Wear Shorts does not currently rely on advertising or analytics cookies.

Cookies or similar technologies may be introduced in the future for purposes such as:

  • website functionality;
  • analytics and performance measurement;
  • remembering preferences;
  • advertising; and
  • measuring the effectiveness of advertising.

If we introduce cookies or similar technologies that require notice or consent under applicable law, we will provide appropriate controls where required.

Advertising

Can You Wear Shorts may display advertising in the future.

Advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, or otherwise support advertisements, subject to applicable law and the provider's own privacy practices.

If advertising services are added, this policy will be updated as appropriate to reflect the providers and data practices involved.

Affiliate links

Can You Wear Shorts may eventually include affiliate links.

If you follow an affiliate link and make a purchase, Can You Wear Shorts may receive a commission or other compensation.

Third-party websites you visit through those links operate independently and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Where appropriate, affiliate relationships will be disclosed.

Automatically collected technical information

The website's hosting provider and other technical service providers may automatically process standard information necessary to operate and secure the website.

This can include information such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • pages requested;
  • date and time of requests; and
  • diagnostic, security, or performance information.

This information may be processed for purposes such as delivering the website, maintaining security, diagnosing problems, and preventing abuse.

Third-party services

Can You Wear Shorts relies on third-party services to operate certain parts of the website, including weather and location services and, potentially in the future, hosting, analytics, advertising, and affiliate services.

Those companies may process information under their own privacy policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services you interact with.

International visitors

Can You Wear Shorts is available to visitors around the world.

Privacy requirements vary by country and region. We aim to handle information responsibly and will update our privacy practices and controls where necessary as the website and the services it uses evolve.

Children's privacy

Can You Wear Shorts is a general-audience website and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because the website does not currently require accounts or request personal information to provide its core functionality, we do not intentionally collect personal information from children through those features.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the website.

However, no website, network, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live and the services used by the website, you may have rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws.

You can also control certain information directly through your browser or device, including:

  • location permissions;
  • cookie settings; and
  • certain tracking or privacy preferences.

As the website introduces additional analytics, advertising, or cookie-based technologies, additional privacy controls may be provided where required.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Can You Wear Shorts may update this Privacy Policy as the website evolves.

If we make changes, the updated version will be posted here and the Last updated date at the top of this page will be revised.

We particularly expect this policy to evolve if we introduce analytics, advertising, cookies, affiliate partnerships, or other third-party services.
