Privacy

PNM Compass is built to hold a family’s recruitment plan. Your plan database lives on your device and no account is required. We collect pseudonymous product analytics to understand confusing or broken flows. Plan content leaves your phone only when you choose to share it.

What stays on your device

Your season, tasks, milestone dates, document and recommendation-letter statuses, outfit and packing items, notes and budget figures are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple’s on-device storage. We do not maintain a server-side account containing that database. We do not record your screen or capture the text and images you view.

Product analytics

We use PostHog to collect structured product-use events, such as completing onboarding, checking off a task, opening the season-pass offer, and purchase or restore outcomes. These events describe actions and outcomes; they do not include task titles, first names, notes, dates, budget figures or images. Session replay, screen recording, interaction autocapture and network-payload capture are disabled.

Analytics and crash diagnostics use a pseudonymous identifier generated for the app, along with the app version and device information. We do not use this information for advertising or cross-app tracking, and we do not sell it or share it with data brokers.

What happens when you share a plan

When you choose to share your plan, PNM Compass sends a copy of that plan to our server so the person you shared it with can open it in a browser without installing anything. That copy contains only what you put in the plan — task titles, dates, statuses and the first names you typed. It is reachable only through the private link we generate. You can revoke the link at any time from Settings, which deletes the shared copy.

Private notes are never included in a shared plan. Anything you mark private stays on your device only.

What we do not collect

• No account, email address or password is required to use the app.
• No contacts, photos library, location or health data is accessed.
• No advertising identifiers, no ad networks, no cross-app tracking and no selling to data brokers.
• No social media accounts are read, scraped or analyzed.

Children

PNM Compass is intended for parents and college-bound students aged 17 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Deleting your data

Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device. To delete a shared copy from our server, revoke the link in Settings. You can also email us to request deletion of a shared copy or associated analytics data.

Not affiliated
