Solar Compass

1. Overview

Solar Compass is a solar positioning and sun path visualization app designed to help you understand the sun’s direction and elevation throughout the day. We do not collect, track, transmit, or store your personal information on external servers.

2. Location and Device Sensors

Solar Compass may request access to your device’s Location Services and motion or compass sensors to calculate sun position accurately for your current area.

• Location is used only to compute solar azimuth, elevation, and related sun path information.
• Location data is processed on your device and is not transmitted to us.
• You may use the app with reduced accuracy by denying location access and entering a location manually, if supported.

3. Data Collection

We do not collect personal information, analytics, usage metrics, identifiers, or tracking data.

• No user accounts are created.
• No advertising or analytics frameworks are used.
• No data is sold or shared with third parties.

4. Data Usage

Any data used by Solar Compass, such as location, heading, and time, is used exclusively to provide the app’s core features, including sun direction, elevation, and sun path visualization.

5. Data Storage

Solar Compass is designed to function without requiring you to store personal data. If the app supports saving preferences, such as display settings, those settings are stored locally on your device.

• Settings and preferences, if any, are stored locally.
• We do not operate external servers that store your app data.

6. Third-Party Services

Solar Compass does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking SDKs. If your device’s operating system provides system-level services, such as Apple location frameworks, those services are governed by Apple’s policies.

7. Security

• Solar Compass does not transmit your personal data to external servers.
• Any stored preferences remain on-device and are protected by your device security settings.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and Apple ID.

8. Disclaimer

• Solar Compass is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.
• Calculations are based on your device sensors, time, and location and may vary due to environmental factors, sensor calibration, or device limitations.
• C. Ray Carroll LLC is not responsible for decisions or outcomes resulting from the use of this app.
