Critical limitation: Compass does NOT contact 911 or emergency services. It is a personal notification tool only. Never rely solely on Compass in a life-threatening emergency. Always call 911 directly.
By creating a Compass account and using the service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use Compass.
Compass is a personal safety application that:
Compass is explicitly NOT an emergency service. We do not:
You acknowledge that Compass is a supplemental safety tool only and should never replace calling emergency services directly.
Compass requires the following to function:
Compass cannot function if the device is powered off, out of battery, or without network connectivity.
If a payment fails, your safety features are not switched off immediately. We keep them working for a grace period while the payment is retried, and we tell you by notification and email. If the payment is still not completed by the end of that period, the safety features stop until it is. You can always receive alerts from friends, block someone, and read or export your own record, regardless of payment status.
Compass is offered on a subscription basis at $3.00 per month.
New accounts get a 14-day free trial with no payment method required. Nothing is charged during that trial and it does not convert into a paid subscription on its own — when it ends, the safety features simply stop until you subscribe.
If you subscribe, you are charged $3.00 per month through the app store you subscribed with (Google Play on Android) or through Stripe on the web. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for, and you keep access until then.
Your emergency contacts are friends you connect with inside Compass. By designating an emergency contact, you confirm that this person has agreed to act as your contact and to receive push notifications from Compass on your behalf. You are responsible for obtaining this consent.
Date Safety asks you to record details about a person you are meeting. That person is usually not a Compass user and has not agreed to be in our system. (Compass Driving asks for nothing about your driver — see the Privacy Policy, Section 6a.)
You are responsible for what you enter. You agree to record only what is reasonably necessary for your own safety, not to use these features to monitor, profile or harass anyone, and not to publish another person's details. This information is kept in your private record, is released only to a guardian in the circumstances described in Section 2, and is deleted automatically after 7 days (Section 9).
Anything you post to the Feed is visible to the friends you have accepted, and to nobody else. You keep ownership of what you post, and you may delete it at any time. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights, and not to post another person's private information.
We may remove content that breaches these terms, and may suspend accounts that repeatedly do so.
Your safety records — locations, check-ins, alerts, date and ride records, and the details you entered about another person — are deleted after 7 days if nothing happens.
If something does happen — you miss a check-in, do not arrive, or trigger an SOS — the records around that event are preserved rather than deleted, so that you or a guardian still have them afterwards. Your account itself, and anything you post to the Feed, are not on that timer.
Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Compass and its operators shall not be liable for any damages arising from:
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue Compass at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes.
