Where can I download Dignity Access?
Both stores, free: the App Store for iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later), and Google Play for Android. The map, all Dignity Profile filters, and the Silent Access Pass are free on both. Dignity Pass is an optional subscription.
What makes Dignity Access different from standard public bathroom finders?
Generic apps list multi-stall restrooms where privacy is impossible. Dignity Access filters exclusively for lockable, single-occupancy family or changing facilities where users can manage protective garments or medical supplies with absolute security.
How does the app protect my location and data privacy?
Your search metrics and profile settings stay on your physical device. We utilize anonymized authentication methods so your medical data can never be compromised or tracked.
Is the storefront window sticker program free for small businesses?
Yes. For our initial rollout, local merchants can instantly print a temporary decal via our digital portal at zero cost to start welcoming customers immediately.
What is the Dignity Pass subscription?
Dignity Pass is $2/month or $20/year. The US is already fully mapped — over 900,000 restroom locations. Your subscription weights your community votes more heavily and unlocks Social Discretion Mode, offline map access, community open-hours editing, moving a mis-placed pin, and the map category filter. It also helps us map other countries faster — Canada, the UK, and Australia — and funds bug fixes, server costs, and ongoing feature support.
How does community verification work — and how do you keep it honest?
Anyone can help — free or Pass. Tap a restroom and confirm or dispute the features you filter for. Every restroom starts royal blue: on the map, not yet confirmed. It turns purple when the community confirms on-site that it is a private, single-occupancy restroom — that confirmation is the only way a pin earns purple. It shows green for you when single-occupancy is confirmed AND every need in your profile has been community-confirmed there. To keep the map trustworthy: no single vote changes a pin — it takes corroborating reports; Dignity Pass votes are weighted a little more heavily, since a verified subscriber is harder to fake at scale; brand-new free accounts wait about a week before their votes count, which stops someone spinning up throwaway accounts to vandalize the map; and there are daily limits plus a cooldown before re-voting the same detail. Verification is processed in batches, not instantly. Green is personal to your profile — the needs you turn on, not a generic rating.
I have IBS or Crohn's — is this app for me?
Yes. Enable the IBS/Crohn's/Colitis toggle in your Dignity Profile and the Emergency Restroom button will route you to the nearest available restroom of any type via Google Maps — no single-occupancy requirement when speed is all that matters.
Is Dignity Access only for medical conditions?
No. The app was built around medical privacy and accessibility first — and those remain the heart of the project. Many families also use it to find single-occupancy and family restrooms with young children. Caregivers supporting someone with dementia or Alzheimer's can filter for secure locks that help prevent wandering and adult changing tables — on a map already focused on lockable, single-occupancy restrooms. Your profile toggles stay on your device; you decide what to turn on.
