How The Compass collects, processes, and presents career and workforce intelligence data — and the safeguards we put in place to protect individual privacy.
Core Principles
Minimum thresholds — Aggregate figures are only shown when sample sizes meet a minimum threshold (typically N≥3 or N≥5) to prevent reverse-identification
Anonymisation first — No personal identifiers are linked to any published aggregate. Community wins, pipeline signals, and sector solidarity figures are stored without user IDs.
Transparency about limits — We show confidence ranges where data is thin. We do not fill gaps with estimates.
