Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Compass Explorer ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS application.

Information We DON'T Collect

We believe in privacy by design. Compass Explorer:

• Does NOT collect or store your location data
• Does NOT track your movements or destinations
• Does NOT require an account or login
• Does NOT share any data with third parties
• Does NOT use analytics or tracking libraries

Location Services

Compass Explorer uses your device's GPS solely to:

• Display your current position on the map
• Show your heading and coordinates
• Calculate distances to destinations

This information never leaves your device. We cannot see where you are or where you've been.

Map Data

Map tiles are provided by Apple Maps. When you view maps, your device connects directly to Apple's servers. We do not intercept or store any of this data. Please refer to Apple's privacy policy for information about their data practices.

Cached Maps

When you cache maps for offline use, they are stored locally on your device only. We have no access to these cached files.

Permissions

Compass Explorer requests the following permissions:

• Location (While Using App): Required for compass and GPS functionality
• Precise Location: Enables accurate coordinate display and navigation

Children's Privacy

Compass Explorer does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13, as we don't collect any personal information at all.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and notify users through an app update description.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any data, there's nothing to request, delete, or modify. Your privacy is protected by design.
