School-controlled participation
Authorized school staff manage who participates.
Trust & Safety
Safe student–alumni conversations, with schools in control.
Students connect only with alumni from their own school. Message review, reporting and blocking tools, and counselor intervention when needed help keep conversations appropriate and useful.
A concerning message held before delivery.
Controlled access
Safety starts before a conversation begins.
Same-school access
Students only discover alumni associated with their school.
Accepted connections
Alumni accept or decline requests before messaging begins.
Supported conversations
Safeguards when a conversation needs attention.
Automated message review can hold concerning content before delivery. Students and alumni can report or block inappropriate interactions. Counselors can review flagged or reported content and intervene when needed.
Counselors do not need to read every conversation. They can review connection activity and relevant content when a message is held, flagged, or reported.
Concerning messages can be held before delivery while the school reviews them.
Flagged and reported content appears in the school's moderation queue for review.
Student information
Student information is limited to what the service needs.
AlmaPathway uses role-based access and data-minimization practices so participants see only the information needed for their role.
Minimum necessary information
Collect and use only the information needed to provide the service, support school administration, and maintain appropriate safety and audit records.
Access based on role
Students, alumni, counselors, and authorized staff see information appropriate to their role and purpose.
Retention and deletion
AlmaPathway is designed to retain student and school information only for as long as needed to provide the service, meet school requirements, and support legitimate legal, safety, and audit needs.
