Information we collect
Account details. Your email address, and a password if you sign up with email. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your basic account details, such as your email address, with Compass.
Profile details. Your handle and name, plus anything you choose to add: a bio, favourite genres, your avatar choice, colour and initials, and the game you are currently playing.
What you do in Compass. Reviews and scores, helpful votes, the people you follow, saved games, your playlists and the playlists you save, your Game Pyramid, and any reports you submit.
How we use it
We use your information to run Compass: showing your reviews and profile to other users, calculating Compass Ratings, powering your Feed and notifications, sending sign-up confirmation and password reset emails, reviewing reports, and keeping accounts secure. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Third-party services
Supabase provides sign-in, account emails and the database where your account and content are stored. If you choose Google sign-in, Google handles that sign-in through Supabase.
Game information. Game details and artwork come from RAWG and from IGDB (which Compass reaches from its own servers using a Twitch account). Trailers are found through YouTube's search service. These lookups send game titles, not your personal information.
YouTube. Trailers are embedded from YouTube, which may set its own cookies when a trailer plays.
Resend. When you report content, an email notification is sent to the Compass team through Resend, containing the report details, the reported item's ID and your account ID (not your email address).
These providers handle data under their own privacy policies.
Payments
If you subscribe to Compass Premium, payment is handled by Stripe. You enter your card details in Stripe's secure checkout and Compass never stores them. Compass keeps a record of your membership, such as whether it is active, so Premium features work. Stripe handles payment data under its own privacy policy.
Apps you connect
Compass lets outside apps, such as AI assistants, connect to your account, but only after you sign in and approve the request. An app you approve can look up games, read your reviews and Game Pyramid, and post reviews on your behalf.
Abuse protection
To stop automated overuse of game lookups, Compass counts requests per visitor using a scrambled (hashed) version of the visitor's IP address. The IP address itself is not stored.
Storage on your device
Compass stores a few things in your browser: your sign-in session, your light/dark appearance choice, whether you have seen the welcome screen, a cache of game artwork and screenshots to make pages load faster, and a short-lived flag used to reload the app after an update.
Your content
Reviews and profile information you post are visible to other users, including signed-out visitors browsing the app. You can edit your own reviews at any time.
Account deletion
You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account, or by emailing contact@compass-app.gg. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, reviews, lists, saves and follows, except where we need to keep some information for legal reasons.
Children's privacy
Compass is not intended for young children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email contact@compass-app.gg and we will look into it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of Compass after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
