DARKCompass Privacy

Your mental health data is yours. Always.

DARKCompass stores your data on a private server that we own and control — not Google, not Amazon, not any cloud provider. Your database is encrypted with AES-256, the same standard used by banks and the military. We have no advertising partners, no analytics trackers, and we never sell your data. You can export everything you've ever entered or delete your account permanently at any time. Mental health data is the most personal data that exists — we built this app knowing that, and every decision we make reflects it.

The honest limitation

DARKCompass encrypts your data on disk. When you use the app your data is temporarily processed on our server to generate your charts and appointment brief. This processing happens only to serve you and is never logged, shared, or retained beyond your session. We are working toward full end-to-end encryption in a future version where even this processing happens on your device.
