Terms & Informed Consent
Please read these terms. By creating an account you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to them.
Educational purpose only
Compass is a study and professional-training tool for exam preparation and skill-building. Everything it offers, including the AI patients, the panel exam, and Dr. Compass guided reflections and meditations, is provided for education and practice only. It is not therapy, not a mental-health service, and not clinical, academic, or career advisement. Using Compass does not create a clinician–client, therapist–patient, or advisor–advisee relationship of any kind.
Not for crisis or clinical need
Compass does not assess, diagnose, or treat any person or condition, and it must never be used in place of real care. If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself or others, or in serious emotional distress, please stop and get help now. In the United States, call 911 for an emergency, and call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline; then contact a licensed healthcare professional or your program's counseling service.
Guided reflection and meditation risks
Some exercises invite you to close your eyes and reflect quietly, and this kind of practice can sometimes bring up strong emotions or difficult memories. Your participation is entirely voluntary and you may stop at any moment, for any reason. Choosing to pause or stop an exercise is a healthy and appropriate act of self-care, not a failure. If reflective work tends to be distressing for you, please skip these exercises or do them only with appropriate support.
AI, not people, and its limitations
The patients, examiners, proctor, and coach in Compass are AI, not people. Much of the content is generated by AI and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading. None of it has been verified for clinical accuracy, and it should be treated as practice material rather than a trustworthy source. Before applying anything you see here to real-world work, verify it against primary sources and confirm it with a qualified supervisor or instructor.
Not affiliated with any exam body
Compass is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (EPPP), the American Board of Professional Psychology, any licensing board, or any university or training program whose examinations it helps you practise for.
Your data and privacy
What you enter into Compass, such as notes, answers, and written reflections, is saved to your account so that you can return to your work later, and is processed by the AI and speech providers named in the privacy policy only to provide the service. You can delete this content at any time. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. How your information is stored, used, and protected, and the privacy rights you have (including California rights), are described in the Terms of Use & Privacy, which form part of your agreement with us.
Intellectual property
All content on Compass, including exercises, cases, questions, text, and other materials, is owned or licensed by the operator and is protected by law. You may use it only for your own personal, non-commercial study. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, scrape, resell, or create derivative works from any part of the site or its content without prior written permission.
No guarantee
We make no promise that Compass will help you pass any exam or achieve any particular result, and no outcome is guaranteed. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OF ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, wilful injury, or violation of law, or waives rights you have under consumer-protection law.
Acceptance
By creating an account and checking the box, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms. You also confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Compass is not directed to anyone under 18. If you do not agree, please do not create an account or use the service.
The Terms of Use & Privacy also form part of these terms, including your content and uploads, copyright complaints, and the refund policy.
