Privacy Policy

Last updated August 2026

COMPASS (Community of Pinoy Adventure Sports Seekers) operates the Compass UAE mobile app and this website (together, the "Service") for its members. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and how it's used. The Service is only available to registered members of the club.

Information we collect

  • Account & profile information — your name, username, email address, mobile number, vehicle details, and profile photo, provided when you register or update your profile.
  • Location— with your permission, your device's location is used to show your position on drive route and meeting-point maps. We don't continuously track or store your location history.
  • Content you submit — trip reports, photos, comments, and other content you post are stored so they can be shared with other members.
  • Club store orders — if you place an order through the member store, we store the order details, delivery address, and payment method you choose (bank transfer or cash) along with any payment-proof photo you upload. We do not collect or store card numbers.
  • Usage information — basic technical information (such as device type and app version) needed to keep the Service working correctly.

How we use this information

We use your information to run club activities: registering you for drives, showing you route and meeting-point maps, publishing trip reports, tracking rank progression, processing club store orders, and sending club announcements. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Who we share it with

Your information is visible to other registered members where the app's features are inherently shared (e.g., trip reports, the member directory, drive rosters). We use a small number of service providers to run the Service — a database/hosting provider to store your data securely, an image hosting provider for photos you upload, and an email provider for account-related emails. These providers only process data on our behalf and don't use it for their own purposes.

Your choices

You can review and update most of your profile information from within the app. You can also delete your account yourself at any time from the app (Profile → Delete Account) or via our account deletion page— no need to contact anyone. Deleting your account removes your personal details (name, username, email, mobile number, vehicle details, profile photo) and permanently disables sign-in. Content you contributed that's inherently shared with other members — trip reports, photos, comments, and drive rosters — is retained for club history but disassociated from your personal details. To request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or have specific shared content removed as well, contact us using the details below.
