Mycompass

01 What information is involved?

At a glance, what the app touches and where it ends up:

02 Sensors and location

Compass reads the magnetometer to show your heading. If you allow location access, it also reads your GPS position while the app is open to show coordinates and altitude and to improve heading accuracy.

Everything is processed on your device and is not recorded, uploaded or shared. Location access is optional; the compass works without it.

03 What we store

Only your preferences (language, theme, coordinate format, haptics, keep screen on and biometric unlock) are saved on this device. There are no accounts and no servers.

04 Biometric unlock

You can optionally lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your fingerprint. Your operating system checks your biometrics; the app never sees or stores them and only remembers whether the lock is turned on.

05 Third-party services

When you tap Open in Maps, your current coordinates are sent to Google Maps so it can show the location. Nothing is sent unless you tap it.

The About section of the settings page loads the developer's profile photo from GitHub, and links such as Rate on Google Play open in your browser or store app. Those services may log your request (for example your IP address) under their own privacy policies.

The app does not include third-party analytics, tracking or advertising software, and we do not sell or share your personal information.

06 Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the app changes. The effective date at the top shows the latest revision, and continuing to use the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
