What your student is signing up for.

Chirp Campus helps college students make plans with people they already know — “coffee at 4, who's in?” — without a feed or a public profile. Here is what it collects, what it never does, and how to reach a person if something is wrong. The privacy policy has every detail; this page is the plain version.

A phone number, a name, a major, a yearThat's the account. No email, no password, no date of birth. We ask students to confirm they're 13 or older.
No location, everThe app never asks for location permission. It cannot show where anyone is.
No photos, no messagesThere are no profile photos, no camera access, and no chat of any kind — so nobody can message your student.
Nobody can search for themThere's no directory and no search. What a student posts goes only to the people they chose.
Friend requests, never auto-addedMeeting new people is off unless they turn it on. Even then, a suggestion is only someone who shares their major, hall, group or interests — and a friendship needs both people to say yes.
Reports reach a personAnyone can report anyone. Reports go to us, not a machine, and we aim to act within 24 hours. Blocking is silent and permanent.

If something's wrong

Three things your student can do in the app, and one you can do from here.

Block someoneOpen their profile → Block. They can't request, invite, or see your student again, and they're never told.
Report someoneFrom a profile, a chirp, a plan or a group. Confidential. Zero tolerance for harassment, threats, or sexual content involving minors.
Delete the accountIn the app, the You tab → Delete account. It permanently deletes their data from our database — a real deletion, not a deactivation.
Email usprivacy@chirpcampus.com for anything about your student's data, including deleting an account for a student under 13. A person reads it.

Who makes it

Chirp Campus is made by ANIRA LLC, a two-person company in Redmond, Washington — the same team behind DiningIQ, the dining-hall menu app already used at Maryland. There are no investors' growth targets behind the design decisions on this page; there's a list of things we decided a campus app should never do, and we published it.
