Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
trulycompass.com ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Our core principle is simple: all calculations run in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your location data to any server.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to operate and improve our service:
- Device sensor data — Your device's magnetometer and orientation sensors are accessed only with your explicit permission and only within your browser. This data never leaves your device.
- Geolocation data — When you grant location permission, your browser shares your coordinates with our JavaScript code. All location-based calculations (sun position, prayer times, qibla direction) happen locally in your browser. We never send your coordinates to our servers.
- Anonymous usage data — We may use standard web analytics (e.g., server logs) to count page visits and track general usage patterns. This data is anonymized and cannot identify you personally.
3. How We Use Your Information
Any information processed is used solely for:
- Providing real-time compass, sun position, moon phase, prayer times, and navigation tools
- Improving website functionality and user experience
- Analyzing aggregated, anonymized traffic patterns
4. Data Storage and Security
We implement industry-standard security measures. However, the most important safeguard is our architecture: all sensitive computations involving your location, orientation, and personal data are performed client-side in your browser. We do not operate databases that store user profiles, location histories, or personal identifiers.
5. Third-Party Services
Our website may display advertisements from third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads. We do not control these third-party tracking technologies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services we link to.
6. Cookies
We use minimal cookies for essential functionality: a theme preference cookie (dark/light mode) stored locally in your browser. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes without your consent. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may be affected.
7. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will promptly remove it.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
