Privacy Policy
TrueNorth is designed for private, on-device compass training. This policy describes the current Android-first app and landing page.
Last updated: July 2, 2026
What TrueNorth collects
TrueNorth records your compass guesses, scores, settings, reminder preferences, and approximate local-area coordinates so you can track progress over time.
Location is used to derive true north and group accuracy into approximate local areas. Coordinates are rounded before they are stored, and the app does not reverse-geocode them into addresses or place names.
Where your data is stored
Your mobile app data is stored on your device. TrueNorth does not require an account, does not run an app backend for training data, and does not upload your attempts or approximate location data to us.
The landing page waitlist endpoint currently logs signup requests server-side for launch planning. It is separate from the mobile app and is not required to train.
Permissions
Location permission lets the app calculate true north and keep approximate local-area progress. If location is denied, the app can still fall back to magnetic north when the operating system exposes heading data; otherwise it explains how to retry or enable permissions.
Notification permission lets the app schedule local reminders. These are local notifications, not remote push notifications.
Vibration permission supports haptic feedback after a guess.
Sharing
Sharing is user-initiated. If you tap a share button, TrueNorth opens the OS share sheet or a Telegram share URL with your result text.
TrueNorth does not automatically post results or share your location.
Deleting your data
You can delete recorded guesses, progress, settings, and reminder preferences from the mobile app through Settings > Clear all data.
Uninstalling the app also removes its local app data according to your device operating system behavior.
Contact
For privacy or support questions, use the support email configured in the app store listing.
This policy may be updated before public launch if the product adds accounts, paid features, analytics, or other services.
