Who we are
compa is an app by intCoders, based in Panama City, Panama ("we", "us"). compa is a care journal for the adults who care for a child with autism, ADHD, or similar conditions: it helps you log moments, meds, and appointments, and arrive at every consultation with the story clear.
This policy explains, with no fine print, what data the app handles, where it lives, and what rights you have. We wrote it to be understood — if anything is unclear, write to us.
The core idea: your data lives on your phone
In this version of compa there are no accounts, no servers of ours, and no cloud. Everything you log is stored only in your device's memory:
- The moments you record (what happened, intensity, duration, notes, tags).
- Medications, their schedules, and the record of each dose given.
- Appointments with doctors, therapists, or school.
- Photos you attach to moments.
- Your child's profile (name, date of birth and, if you choose to add it, their diagnosis).
None of this is transmitted to intCoders or to anyone else. We cannot see it, read it, or recover it — it never passes through our hands. If you delete the app or lose your phone without a device backup, that data is gone; that is the flip side of only you having it.
Medication reminders are scheduled locally on your phone; they work without internet and send information to no one.
The only thing that leaves your phone: crash reports
To be able to fix the app when it breaks, we use Sentry, an error-reporting service acting as a processor on our instructions. If the app crashes, a technical report is sent containing:
- The technical stack trace of the crash (where in the code it happened).
- The app version, operating system, and device model.
- A random installation identifier, which is not linked to your name, email, or any account (no accounts exist in this version).
What a crash report never contains: the text of your moments, medication names, photos, documents, or your child's name or data. We configure the tool specifically to exclude that content.
Reports travel encrypted (TLS) and are deleted automatically under Sentry's retention (90 days by default). We do not use them for advertising or profiling — only to fix bugs.
If you leave us your email on the waiting list
On compa.care you can ask for a spot to try the app. If you do, we store only your name and your email on our server, for one purpose: writing to you when a spot opens. This is separate from the app — it is not connected to your child's data, which still lives only on your phone.
- We do not share it with anyone and we do not use it for advertising.
- We delete it whenever you ask us to, or when the testing stage ends.
- To ask us to delete it, write to support@compa.care.
About your child's data
compa is designed to be used by adults who provide care. It is not directed at minors and is not meant to be used by children. The information about your child that you record in the app belongs to you and your family:
- It is stored only on your device, as explained above.
- We never sell it. We never share it with third parties. We show no ads and use no data for advertising.
- We do not use it to train models, build profiles, or for any other purpose.
We believe a child's health data belongs to their family, and the app's architecture is built on that conviction: the strongest privacy guarantee is that the data never leaves your phone.
Permissions the app asks for
- Notifications: for medication and appointment reminders. They are scheduled on your device; declining them does not block the rest of the app.
- Photos / camera: to attach images to moments. Images are stored locally. You can use compa without granting this permission.
When cloud sync arrives (does not apply yet)
We are building an optional feature to back up your journal and share it with your family (your partner, grandparents, the nanny). This section will apply only when that feature launches, and only if you choose to turn it on. When it arrives:
- You will be able to create an account. Identity (email, sign-in) will be processed by Clerk as our identity provider, on our instructions.
- The data you choose to sync will be stored encrypted on servers operated by intCoders, solely to back it up and share it with the family members you invite.
- You will have full export of your family's data (JSON and files) and complete deletion of the account and its data, from within the app.
- We will update this policy and the stores' privacy labels before enabling the feature, and using the app without an account will remain possible.
Your rights
Because almost everything lives on your device, you already have direct control: you can view, edit, export (device backup), or erase your data by clearing the app's content or uninstalling it.
Regarding crash reports, and in line with Panama's Law 81 of 2019 on Personal Data Protection and equivalent laws, you can ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of the data Sentry holds associated with the installation identifier, and raise any question or complaint by writing to us. You may also complain to your country's data protection authority (in Panama, ANTAI).
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will publish the new version at this same address with its update date. If the change is significant (for example, the launch of sync), we will give notice inside the app before it takes effect.
