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 — Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC. When you visit our website, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) and other similar technologies to serve you ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This allows Google and its partners to show personalized ads based on your browsing history.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our website, please visit Google's advertising page and Google's Privacy Policy.

These third-party ad networks have their own privacy policies. We do not control their tracking technologies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services we link to.

6. Google Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with our site, including pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (at city level). This information is aggregated and used to improve our content and user experience.

Google Analytics collects this data anonymously and does not link it to any personal identifiers. You can learn how Google handles data collected through Google Analytics at Google's Privacy Policy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

7. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — A theme preference cookie (dark/light mode) and a cookie consent preference cookie, both stored locally in your browser.
  • Advertising cookies — Set by Google AdSense when you accept cookie consent. These are used to deliver and personalize ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.
  • Analytics cookies — Set by Google Analytics when you accept cookie consent. These help us understand aggregate usage patterns.

Advertising and analytics cookies are only loaded after you explicitly accept cookie consent via the banner on your first visit. You can reject non-essential cookies, in which case Google AdSense and Google Analytics will not load. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some features may be affected.

8. 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.

9. 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.
