Terms & Conditions of Use.
Please review these terms and conditions carefully before using Online Qibla Finder services.
Digital compasses rely on your device's internal magnetometer hardware. Readings can be affected by local magnetic interference (e.g. nearby metal objects, steel beams, magnetic phone cases, or car dashboards). For maximum accuracy, perform a smooth figure-8 motion with your device before use, or cross-verify direction using our interactive geodesic map or Solar Qibla Finder tool.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Online Qibla Finder (accessible at onlineqiblafinder.com), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.
2. Scope & Purpose of Utility Services
Online Qibla Finder provides a free, web-based tool designed to help Muslims determine the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca (21.4225ยฐ N, 39.8262ยฐ E) using client-side algorithms, interactive geodesic map lines, AR camera overlays, solar alignment times, and prayer time estimations.
- The service is provided 100% free of charge for personal, non-commercial religious guidance.
- No user registration, subscription, or software purchase is required.
3. Sensor Calibration & Accuracy Disclaimer
While Online Qibla Finder uses mathematically exact Great-Circle Geodesic formulas (atan2 bearing calculation), the real-world accuracy of the live compass is dependent on your hardware device sensors:
- Hardware Magnetometer Variance: Smartphones contain micro-electromechanical magnetometers that require periodic calibration.
- Magnetic Interference: Using the compass near heavy iron structures, high-voltage power lines, laptop speakers, or magnetic phone covers can distort heading readings.
- User Responsibility: Users are advised to calibrate their device by waving it smoothly in a figure-8 pattern, and to confirm orientation using our interactive Geodesic Map baseline or Solar Shadow tool when absolute accuracy is desired.
