Information We Collect

Sensor Data

Our Online Compass application requires access to your device's compass and location sensors to function correctly. We collect the following sensor data:

  • Accuracy metrics for the above data

This sensor data is processed entirely locally on your device and is used solely to provide compass functionality. We do not transmit, store, or record any sensor data on our servers. All compass functionality operates directly in your browser without sending any of your location or sensor data to our servers.
