Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 15, 2025
Your Privacy Matters
At SIMT, we believe that your privacy is fundamental. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our compass and navigation application.
Data Storage - Local First
All your data remains on your device. SIMT is designed with privacy as a core principle. All application data, including:
- Saved targets and locations
- Custom notes and names
- Compass calibration data
- App preferences and settings
Everything is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your data on our servers or in the cloud by default.
Optional Cloud Features
SIMT offers optional features that may involve cloud storage:
- Data Backup: You may choose to backup your data to the cloud. This is entirely optional and requires your explicit consent. If you choose to use this feature, your data will be encrypted and stored securely.
- Account Linking: You may choose to link your account with another user. This feature is optional and only works if you explicitly enable it.
These features are opt-in only. If you do not use them, no data leaves your device.
No Data Sharing
We do not share your data with anyone. SIMT does not:
- Share your data with third parties
- Sell your data to advertisers
- Use your data for analytics or tracking
- Collect personal information
Your privacy is protected by design.
Location Services
SIMT uses your device's location services to provide compass and navigation features. This location data is:
- Processed entirely on your device
- Never transmitted to our servers
- Only used for the app's core functionality
You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
Free and Open
SIMT is completely free to use. We do not monetize your data because we don't collect it. There are no hidden costs, no premium features that compromise your privacy, and no data harvesting.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
