This page is the legal chart for qompass.ai — three documents in one place. Privacy covers how this website treats the people who visit it. Accessibility states the standard the site is built to. Terms of Service govern the site and the software downloaded through it. Effective October 13, 2026.

Related document: Light Show, the game published by Qompass AI, carries its own privacy policy — a separate, shorter document, because the game collects no personal data at all. Nothing here changes or replaces it.

Privacy

The short version: this site has no user accounts, sets no tracking cookies, and runs no analytics. There is very little about a visitor for us to hold.

Like every web server, ours keeps standard operational logs — requests, timestamps, and IP addresses — to serve pages and keep the site secure. Those logs are the only records the site itself creates about a visit, and we do not use them to build profiles of visitors.

If you write to us, we receive what you send, and we keep the correspondence so we can answer it. The privacy contact of record is map@qompass.ai. There is no mailing list or newsletter. If we ever send commercial email, it will comply with the CAN-SPAM Act — accurate headers, a real postal address, and an opt-out we honor.

Software downloads are delivered through GitHub Releases. When you follow a download link, GitHub's own privacy policy governs what GitHub collects on its service.

This site is a general-audience site, is not directed to children under 13, and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Visitors from the European Union and the United Kingdom: this site sets no tracking cookies and runs no analytics, so there is almost nothing to exercise data rights over. If you email us, you may ask us to delete that correspondence, and we will.

Qompass AI does not collect consumer health data. If that ever changes, Washington's My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373) requires consent, a dedicated policy, and deletion rights — and we would implement them before collecting.

We do not collect or enroll biometric identifiers.

Neither Washington nor Idaho has a comprehensive consumer-privacy statute. The protections that do exist are specific laws, including the ones named on this page: in Washington, the My Health My Data Act, the breach-notification law, the Consumer Protection Act, and the biometric-identifiers law; in Idaho, the breach-notification law and the Consumer Protection Act.

If we ever hold personal information and it is breached, we will notify affected Washington residents within the 30 days Washington law requires (RCW 19.255.010), and the Attorney General when the law requires that too. For Idaho residents, we would notify without unreasonable delay, as Idaho Code §28-51-105 requires.

Accessibility

We design and test this site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard courts and the Justice Department use as the benchmark for web accessibility.

That benchmark is shared. WCAG 2.1 AA is also the standard the Justice Department mandates for state and local government websites (28 C.F.R. Part 35); that rule phases in on April 26, 2027 and April 26, 2028, binds public entities rather than private companies, and carries no per-violation fine schedule. Washington sets WCAG 2.1 AA as the minimum for its own state agencies (WaTech USER-01). We voluntarily hold this private site to the same standard.

We voluntarily follow WCAG 2.1 AA, which is a superset of the WCAG 2.0 AA standard federal agencies use under Section 508.

In practice, that means pages built from semantic landmarks, links and controls reachable by keyboard, text with real contrast against the dark theme, and animation that stays decorative: motion on this site is disabled when your system requests reduced motion.

This is a small, hand-built site, and it has not been through a formal third-party accessibility audit — so this page states a standard we work to, not a certification we hold. If any part of this site is hard for you to use, tell us and we will fix it.

Terms of Service

These terms govern this website and the software downloads linked from it. The site is published by Qompass AI of Spokane, Washington. It offers no user accounts and does not host user-submitted content.

Every software download offered here is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and delivered through GitHub Releases. The license text governs the software; these terms incorporate the license by reference rather than restating it. Read the full text of the Apache License 2.0.

Trademarks. The Apache License 2.0 does not grant any right to use Qompass AI's names or marks (Apache License §6).

Warranty. All downloads are provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind (Apache License §7). You alone judge whether the software fits your purpose, and you assume the risk of using it.

Liability. To the extent the Apache License applies, no contributor is liable for damages arising from use of the software (Apache License §8).

The policy landscape these terms sit in is mostly federal, and mostly recent. The 2023 federal AI executive order (EO 14110) was revoked in January 2025. Federal AI policy since January 2025 (EO 14179) directs federal agencies; it does not impose obligations on private companies like Qompass AI. Our design principles are consistent in spirit with the trustworthy-AI principles the federal government applies to itself (EO 13960).

We note the federal AI Action Plan (July 2025) as part of that landscape; it is guidance to agencies, not a law we certify against. Federal procurement rules for AI (EO 14319) apply to vendors selling AI to the government; Qompass AI does not currently sell AI systems to the federal government.

An executive order cannot by itself preempt state law; Washington and Idaho statutes remain in force unless Congress legislates or a court rules otherwise. Two enacted state laws are on the horizon; neither is in force yet. Washington's AI companion chatbot law (HB 2225) takes effect January 1, 2027, and will require disclosure and safety protocols for AI companions. The law has no penalty schedule of its own: a violation is a per se violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, under which the Attorney General may recover a civil penalty of up to $7,500 per violation — with an additional $5,000 enhancement where a violation targets or impacts people by demographic characteristics such as age — and an injured person may sue for actual damages, which the court may increase up to three times, the increased award capped at $25,000, plus costs and a reasonable attorney's fee. Qompass AI does not offer an AI companion chatbot. Idaho's Conversational AI Safety Act takes effect July 1, 2027; it sets safety standards for public conversational AI services and is written to exclude developer- and business-focused tools of the kind Qompass AI builds. Its penalties are its own: the Idaho Attorney General may seek an injunction and civil penalties of $1,000 per violation, up to $500,000 per operator, or actual damages if greater — and the act creates no private right of action. Qompass AI does not operate a conversational AI service.

If these terms change materially, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
