Wonder Compass helps people identify monuments, explore historical attractions and discover nearby places. This policy explains how information is handled when you use our website and mobile app.
Accounts: When you register, we process your email address and authentication information through Supabase. Passwords are handled by the authentication provider; we do not ask you to send passwords by email.
Photos and AI questions: Photos you choose for monument identification and questions you submit to the AI guide are sent to our server and processed using OpenAI services to generate responses. The app does not intentionally retain uploaded monument photos on its own server. Service providers may process and retain request information under their applicable terms.
Location: With your permission, the app uses your device location to find nearby attractions and places. You may decline location access and use other features. Location coordinates may be sent to mapping or place-search providers to deliver results; Wonder Compass does not intentionally maintain a server-side location history.
Local app data: Your device may store recent discoveries, preferences and session information so the app works. Clearing app or browser data may remove locally saved information.
We use information to create and protect accounts, provide monument identification and AI responses, display relevant attractions, maintain service security and respond to support or privacy requests.
Services used by Wonder Compass include Supabase (authentication), Cloudflare (hosting and security), OpenAI (AI responses), and mapping and place-information providers such as Google Places and OpenStreetMap-related services where those features are used. Their handling of data is subject to their own privacy practices.
Account information is retained while your account exists, subject to legal and operational requirements. You can delete your account using the Delete Account option in Wonder Compass, available in the Account menu when signed in, or through the sign-in form after authentication. For security, you must sign in and confirm deletion. You may also contact us at the address below with privacy questions or deletion requests. Deleting an account removes its Supabase authentication record; data held by external providers or required for legal or security reasons may be subject to separate retention periods. Local data on your device can be removed by clearing app storage or uninstalling the app.
You can choose whether to provide photos or grant location access. You may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information associated with your account, subject to applicable law. If you are in the EEA, you may also have rights to object to processing, restrict processing and lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
Wonder Compass is a general travel information service and is not specifically directed to young children. Parents and guardians should supervise children's use of online and AI services.
We use authentication and hosted service providers to protect data, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as features or providers change. The latest version will appear on this page.
