This Privacy Policy describes how DEEPO TECHNOLOGY (HK) LIMITED ("we", "us", or "our") handles personal data and information when you use our mobile application, Northly: Digital Compass (the "Application"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how your data is handled.
Location Data: To provide accurate compass headings, geographic coordinates, altitude, and orientation details, the Application requires access to your device's location services (GPS and Network Location). Location processing is performed locally on your device. We do not track, collect, store, or transmit your continuous location history to external servers.
Sensor Data: The Application reads real-time data from your device's built-in sensors (magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope) to determine compass orientation and movement. Sensor data is processed entirely in real-time on your device and is not saved or transmitted.
Technical Diagnostic Information: We may automatically collect non-identifiable, aggregate technical data—such as app crash logs, device model, operating system version, and performance statistics—solely to maintain application stability, resolve bugs, and improve performance.
The Application may request the following permissions to function properly:
Location Permission (Precise/Approximate): Required to display your current geographic coordinates, elevation, and true north orientation.
Camera Access (Optional): Required only if the Application features a Augmented Reality (AR) compass mode or camera-overlay view.
Network Access: Required to fetch local weather data or map tiles (if applicable) and display non-personalized ads or analytics.
You can manage or revoke these permissions at any time through your device's system settings.
The Application may integrate third-party software development kits (SDKs), such as Google Play Services, Firebase Analytics, or AdMob, to analyze aggregate usage trends and display advertisements. These third-party services may collect non-personally identifiable technical information subject to their respective privacy policies.
Since location and sensor data are processed locally on your physical device, your data security depends on your device's security controls. We implement standard industry practices to safeguard any technical diagnostic data transmitted through third-party analytics.
The Application is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting the updated policy within the Application or on our store listing page.
