Location Data (Optional)
With your permission, the app accesses your location for weather-based suggestions only. Location data is not retained after the request is fulfilled.
2. How We Use Your Information
PlayCompass uses collected data to deliver personalized activity recommendations, maintain your preferences, process subscriptions, send notifications, enhance stability, and enable family sharing.
3. Third-Party Services
- Firebase — Authentication and data storage
- RevenueCat — Subscription management
- Google Sign-In — Account authentication
- OpenWeatherMap — Weather-based recommendations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties and we do not use advertising SDKs.
4. Data Storage and Security
Account data is stored in Firebase Firestore. All communications are secured with HTTPS/TLS encryption.
5. Data Retention
Activity history duration depends on your subscription tier. Account data persists until deletion. Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 90 days.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You may access, update, or delete your account through app settings. You can opt out of location sharing and disable notifications at any time. To request data deletion, contact us at support@watchlightinteractive.com.
7. Children's Privacy
PlayCompass restricts child data collection to essentials, does not allow children to create accounts directly, avoids advertising SDKs, and gives parents full control over child profiles.
8. Family Sharing
Invited family members can access shared profiles through invite codes. Access is parental-controlled and revocable at any time.
9. Changes to This Policy
Changes are communicated via the app or email. Continued use of the app after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
