Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Electronic Compass & Level checker (“the Application”) handles user information. The Application is developed and published by Francis Arokiya Raj (“Service Provider”) as a free utility app designed to help users determine direction and check horizontal level using built-in device sensors.

The Service Provider values your privacy and ensures that no personal, sensitive, or identifiable user data is collected, stored, shared, or transmitted by this Application.

1. Information Collection and Use

The Application is built with privacy as a core principle. It operates entirely on the user’s device and does not collect or transmit any personal information. Specifically:

• The app does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location, or contact information.
• No login, registration, or account creation is required.
• No user data is transmitted to servers, cloud storage, or third-party systems.
• The app functions solely using device sensors such as the magnetometer, gyroscope, and accelerometer to provide compass and level readings.

These readings are processed locally and never stored or shared outside the user’s device.

2. Permissions

The Application requests only minimal permissions strictly necessary for its operation. Typical permissions include:

• Access to device sensors – to calculate orientation, direction, and level.

The Application does not request or use permissions related to:

• Location (GPS or network-based)
• Storage access
• Camera, microphone, or contacts
• Network or internet usage

As a result, the app functions completely offline.

3. No Data Collection or Sharing

The Service Provider confirms that:

• No personal or non-personal user data is collected.
• No data is shared with third parties or analytics services.
• No advertising SDKs, social media SDKs, or tracking libraries are used.
• No background services run to monitor user activity or behavior.

4. No Third-Party Services

This Application does not integrate with any third-party APIs, SDKs, or services such as analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or social media plugins. All app functionality is implemented natively and operates independently on the user’s device.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

The Application is designed to be safe and appropriate for users of all ages, including children under 13. The Service Provider:

• Does not knowingly collect any personal data from children.
• Does not display advertisements or external links.
• Does not include in-app purchases, social features, or chat functions.

Parents and guardians can allow children to use this app safely. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information by mistake, they may contact the Service Provider, and such data (if any) will be permanently deleted.

6. Security

Since the Application does not store or transmit user data, there are no risks related to data interception or unauthorized access. All calculations and readings are handled locally within the device’s secure operating environment.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

The Application does not collect or store any data; therefore, no retention or deletion actions are necessary. Uninstalling the app will remove all locally stored settings and sensor configurations (if any) automatically.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to ensure compliance with legal or platform requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date.” Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically for the latest information.
