Compass app - Accurate Compass

"List of Installed App: When you install our App, we may collect information from your device, that may include a list of your installed Apps. This data may contain identity information and therefore we treat it as Personal Data. Call log and Contacts: As part of our dialer feature which is provided to certain Apps of ours, you will be required to provide us permissions to your call log and contacts. Bluetooth and Network: We may collect through your Bluetooth and network permissions list of devices and networks your device "see" and connection history of your device."

A compass app collects an extraordinary range of device data — installed apps, call logs, contacts, Bluetooth device lists, network history, calendar, and health data — far beyond what core compass functionality requires.

"Certain features may require access to your GPS location permissions. In addition, in certain features we will use your "Access Fine Location" permission in the background while you are using the App so that we are able to locate the wifi networks and connection to provide the Services. Please note that this information can run in the background of your mobile device, and show you an applicable list of WIFI networks."

The app uses background fine location tracking and scans nearby WiFi networks, which goes beyond basic compass functionality and enables persistent location monitoring.

"Advertisers: AdMob, AdColony, Applovin, Chocolate Platform, Facebook Audience Network, Index Exchange, Media.net, Mobfox, OpenX, PubMatic, Rubicon, Sharethrough, Yieldmo. And as may be updated from time to time (collectively "Advertisers"). The Advertisers are advertising Service Providers. Their targeted advertising SDKs collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites and online services in order to provide you with relevant advertisements."

The app embeds at least 13 advertising SDKs that directly collect user browsing and behavioral data from the device, creating extensive third-party data sharing for a simple utility app.

"Their targeted advertising SDKs collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites and online services in order to provide you with relevant advertisements on the App and Services of third parties. The information collected using these advertising SDK does not disclose your identity, and helps us analyze the effectiveness of our advertising."

The embedded advertising SDKs explicitly track user activity across multiple websites and online services to build behavioral profiles for targeted advertising.

"We reserve the right to amend this Policy from time to time, at our sole discretion. The most recent version of the Policy will always be posted on the website. Any amendments to the Policy will become effective within 30-days upon the display of the modified Policy. We recommend you review this Policy periodically to ensure that you understand our most updated privacy practices."

The company can change the privacy policy at any time at its sole discretion, with changes taking effect automatically after 30 days — continued use constitutes acceptance.

"In general, we retain the Personal Data we collect for as long as it remains necessary for the purposes set forth above, all under the applicable regulation, or until you express your preference to optout, where applicable. Please note that except as required by applicable law, we will not be obligated to retain your data for any particular period, and we may delete it for any reason and at any time, without providing you with prior notice."

No specific retention periods are defined, data is kept indefinitely as long as deemed 'necessary,' and the company reserves the right to both keep and delete data at will without notice.

"If you would like to delete your Personal Data please fill in this form: link. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. When you contact us and request to exercise your rights regarding your Personal Data, we will require certain information from you in order to verify your identity and locate your data and that the process of locating and deleting the data may take reasonable time and effort."

Deleting personal data requires filling out an external DSR form and emailing support rather than offering an in-app self-service option, with no defined timeline for completion.
