Simple Compass is a privacy-focused navigation tool designed to help users determine direction and bearing using device sensors. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.
Simple Compass does not collect, store, or share any personal data. The app functions entirely on your device and does not connect to any external servers.
Specifically:
Location Data: The app may access coarse location (via GPS/network) to correct compass readings for True North and to display latitude, longitude, and altitude. This data is used solely within the app for functional purposes and is never transmitted or stored.
Sensor Data: Compass and motion sensors are used to calculate orientation. This data is processed locally and not stored or transmitted.
No Analytics or Ads: The app does not include analytics, advertising, or third-party SDKs that track your behavior.
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Required only to enable True North correction and show coordinates if the user enables those features. Location access is optional and can be denied without affecting core compass functionality.
We do not share any data with third parties. No information leaves your device.
Simple Compass does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. The app is safe for general use and contains no inappropriate content.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in this document and updated on the app listing page.
