The Prime Compass

Welcome to my blog—built for people who want to earn online without wasting time on confusing tools, hype, or trial-and-error. I created this site to share practical, step-by-step guidance on building a real digital income stream using platforms and products that can actually help you execute. You will find straightforward tutorials on setting up and growing an online business (including starting a store with Shopify), building an audience and email list with tools like Kit, and using trusted products and services that support productivity, content creation, and e-commerce. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you choose to purchase through them—at no extra cost to you. I only recommend tools I believe are worth considering, and my goal is to help you make better decisions faster, avoid common beginner mistakes, and move from planning to action with confidence.

The Prime Compass (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website (the “Site”), subscribe to our email list (if enabled), leave comments, or otherwise interact with us.

By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1) Information We Collect

A) Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Email address and name (for newsletter sign-ups, contact forms, or downloads, if enabled)
  • Comment information (if you comment on posts)
  • Messages you send through our contact form or email

B) Information Collected Automatically

When you browse the Site, we may collect certain information automatically, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and device details
  • Operating system
  • Referring pages
  • Pages viewed and actions taken on the Site
  • Approximate location (derived from IP)

This data is collected using server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.

2) Cookies and Similar Technologies

WordPress sites commonly use cookies for site functionality and user convenience. We may use cookies to:

  • Remember preferences
  • Support comment functionality
  • Enable login/session management (if accounts exist)
  • Measure traffic and site performance (if analytics is enabled)
  • Support affiliate link tracking (if affiliate links are used)

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not function properly without cookies.

3) Comments (WordPress)

If you leave a comment:

  • We collect the data shown in the comments form, and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
  • If you opt in, WordPress may save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not have to re-enter them for future comments. These cookies typically last for up to one year.

Gravatar

If Gravatar is enabled, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval, your profile picture may be visible publicly with your comment. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available on Automattic’s website.

4) Media Uploads

If you upload images to the Site (for example, if you have an account that permits media uploads), avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images posted on the Site.

5) Contact Forms

If you submit a message through a contact form (if enabled), we collect the information you enter (such as name, email, and message) in order to respond. We may retain these submissions for customer service purposes, but we do not use them for marketing unless you explicitly opt in.

6) Email Subscriptions (If Enabled)

If you subscribe to our email list, we may send newsletters, updates, and promotional content (including affiliate recommendations, where disclosed).

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information to honor your opt-out request.

Email Service Provider: We may use a third-party email provider (e.g., Kit/Mailchimp/ConvertKit) to manage subscriptions and send emails. That provider processes your information under its own privacy practices.

7) Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

8) Analytics (If Enabled)

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use the Site. These tools may collect information like device type, pages visited, time on site, and referral sources.

If you do not use analytics, you can remove this section.

9) Affiliate Links and Advertising Disclosures

The Prime Compass may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate partners and networks may use cookies or tracking pixels to attribute referrals. We do not control the tracking technologies used by third parties. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

10) Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with:

  • Service providers that help operate the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, spam filtering, security tools)
  • Legal authorities if required by law or to protect our rights and users
  • Business transferees in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

11) How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • Contact form submissions: May be retained for a period of time for customer service, then deleted.
  • Email subscriber data (if enabled): Kept until you unsubscribe, and potentially longer if needed to maintain suppression lists (opt-out compliance).
  • Server logs/security logs: Retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

12) What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of personal data
  • Object to certain processing
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)

To make a request, contact us using the About Us contact page.

13) Where Your Data Is Sent (Spam Detection)

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

14) Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

15) Children’s Privacy

This Site is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
