Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

369 Recovery LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates the The Daily Compass mobile application (the "App"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information when you use our App, and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

Email address (required for sign-in and password recovery)
Display name or anonymous alias (your choice — anonymity is supported)
Recovery program details you choose to share (sobriety date, home group, sponsor info)

Optional / User-Provided Content

Profile photo (only if you choose to upload one — stored as base64 in our database)
Journal entries (private to you, encrypted at rest)
Community messages and meeting participation

Device Permissions We Request

Camera — Only when you tap "Take Photo" to set a profile picture. Photos are stored on your device until you choose to upload them.
Photo Library — Only when you select an existing photo for your profile picture.
Microphone — Only when you join an audio meeting room (real-time voice with peers).
Notifications — To deliver the daily reflection reminder you opt into.

We do not access your contacts, location, files, SMS, or background camera/microphone.

Automatically Collected

Anonymized usage analytics (screens visited, feature interactions)
Technical logs needed for debugging (device type, OS version, crash reports)
IP address (for security and abuse prevention only)

2. How We Use Information

Provide and maintain the App's features (daily entries, meetings, journals)
Send you the daily reflection reminder (only if you opt in)
Process Premium subscription payments via Stripe (we never see your card number)
Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets) via SendGrid
Improve the App by understanding which features are used most
Respond to your support requests

3. Anonymity-First Identity

The Daily Compass is built around the recovery community's tradition of anonymity. You may use a generated alias (e.g., "QuietRiver47") instead of your real name in meetings and community spaces. You can switch your identity mode at any time in Settings. Your real name is never shown to other users unless you explicitly opt in to display it.

4. Sharing & Third Parties

We share data only with the following processors, each strictly for the purpose listed:

Stripe — Payment processing (subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy)
SendGrid — Transactional email delivery
Expo Push Service — Delivers notifications to your device
OpenAI — Content generation for daily reflections (no personal data sent)
Google Play / Apple App Store — App distribution

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

5. Data Retention

Account data: retained while your account is active
Journal entries: retained until you delete them
Community messages: retained for 90 days, then archived
Account deletion: all personal data is removed within 30 days of your request

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

7. Your Rights

You can, at any time:

Access or download your data — email 369recoveryllc@gmail.com
Correct inaccurate information from your Profile screen
Delete your account from Settings → Delete Account
Opt out of notifications from Settings or your device settings
Export your journal entries

Residents of California (CCPA), the EU/UK (GDPR), and other regions may have additional rights — contact us to exercise them.

8. Security

We use industry-standard practices: passwords hashed with bcrypt, all traffic over HTTPS/TLS, payments handled by PCI-DSS compliant Stripe, and database access restricted by IP allowlist. No system is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect your data.

9. International Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. By using the App, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in the United States.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy in the App and updating the "Last updated" date above.
